Jump Around

December 9, 2008 by Elaine

I think the world stopped rotating on it’s axis last night… for a few minutes anyway. Yes folks, for the first time in a LONG TIME I didn’t post the night before. I was up late emailing the Favorite Food Swap participants their partner’s info. AND their aren’t even THAT many of you! : )…

The Randomizer Found ME!

December 5, 2008 by Elaine

Seriously it, did, check my first tidbit on here. But really, it’s just a list of random stuff. TGIF. I have won a few giveaways lately. Yay for me! : ) *Right before Thanksgiving I won some “turkey bucks” from HotMomReviews. It made a nice little dent in the purchase of the turkey! Thanks gals….

Clear as Mud

November 4, 2008 by Elaine

I have so much swirling around in my head. I am not sure why. It’s almost like I have all these unfinished thoughts, where I start one and another one cuts it off before it’s even done. And… we are getting low on the Trader Joe’s “oreos” that are so much better than the other…

Some Bid’ness

October 21, 2008 by Elaine

1. Jen sent some Good Mail and I was so happy to receive it. This is a Halloween pin that is fabric and looks “quilted.” The picture DOES NOT do it justice. So cute! Thanks Jen, you send GREAT mail! ; ) 2. I am leaving Thursday morning for my girls trip and I have…

All Gussied Up

October 13, 2008 by Elaine

Our next-door neighbors got married yesterday. We met Nancy and her son A.J. when we moved here 4 years ago and last year Nancy met Scott. Yesterday they married in one of the sweetest ceremonies I’ve seen in a while. They exchanged vows and rings and then gave A.J. a family pendant. All three of…

My Recent Zen Moment Ruined (or not!)

October 10, 2008 by Elaine

Tim was coming home late from work. The boys and I were lying on The B Man’s bed, surrounded by his 40 bagillion stuffed animals. I relaxed into the bed out of sheer exhaustion, from all the “running” I have been doing lately. Both literally and figurativelly. Behind me I could hear their breathing. I…

Ok People, If I Am Gonna Do This, I Need Your Encouragement

October 7, 2008 by Elaine

I am trying to decide something. The decision isn’t that hard to make. I want to do it. What’s hard is the commitment. What’s REALLY hard is following through. So, the week before last I started thinking about running. I’ve been back to working out regularly for a few months now and it feels great…

This N’ That

October 3, 2008 by Elaine

Here we go with some randomness. Of course I like the weeks when my husband is home but there is one down side. He eats my Skinny Cow ice cream cones. And, when I don’t know that they are gone and…I have worked up my taste buds to have one later after the kids go…

I’m Feeling All Domestic Like

September 29, 2008 by Elaine

Yesterday I found myself doing something that I NEVER thought I would EVER find myself doing. It’s not that big of a deal or even that ODD to some, I am sure, but it does seem a little antiquated to me. And this is my blog, so I am asking myself (and you)… who vacuums…
