I’ve Done VERY Little to Support the Sugar Industry These Last Three Months and Zumba is My New Best Friend

August 20, 2010 by Elaine

When I was a little girl I was pretty chunky. I always had to have the biggest soccer shorts and sometimes even those didn’t fit me. But I still wore them. Ugh. I was the ‘biggest’ girl in dance class (not the tallest, but widest) and I was teased a lot. One time while riding…

You Capture – In The Kitchen (and the bathroom)

August 19, 2010 by Elaine

I do a lot of things in the kitchen. Besides cooking. Although I do that too. And bake. mmmm… baking…{sorry, easily side-tracked by thoughts of baked goods.} I also read, blog, feed children, go through mail, and various other things. Such as. Craft. I found this idea and I just HAD to do it. Sometimes…

I Gots Questions

August 17, 2010 by Elaine

Were the “Pet Shop Boys” boys that actually worked at a pet shop together? What’s up with the price of gas always having that 9/10 on the sign? If the gas is 2.59 9/10 a gallon why not just make it 2.60 a gallon? Why do they put plastic on the organic broccoli? What hurts…

M.I.A.

August 16, 2010 by Elaine

I spent quite a lot of time away from my family this weekend. No, I didn’t go anywhere besides some places here in town, but for most of Saturday and some time on Sunday, I was away from Tim and the kids. On Saturday I used my “spa day” gift certificate that Tim gave me…

You Capture – Every Day Things

August 12, 2010 by Elaine

Or in this case, things I see Every Day. As I wandered around my house wondering what “every day” things to capture I realized that one of my favorite aspects about our rental is the fact that I’ve put my own stamp on it with the pretty items that I like and have in this…

WW – I Saw an Old Friend Today…

August 11, 2010 by Elaine

… although if I called him “old” he’d probably be angry with me. (He turns 50 in a week and half… shhh…I personally think he’s in his prime. Meanwhile, he’s trying to ignore this milestone…) He comes to town often for business and I used to work with his lovely wife, who I ADORE, and…

In Control?

August 10, 2010 by Elaine

As I was driving back from picking up The B Man’s school supplies the other day, it struck me. “Tim would never do this.” And I don’t mean that in a negative or mean or bitter way. I just mean he wouldn’t. School supplies are my ‘job’. Partly because I don’t work so, uh yeah….
