So I decided to finally share some of my art. Here are just a couple of things I’ve done recently that I don’t feel are totally awful. I know I’m not totally awesome, but I feel pretty good about my progress so far, and I’m still working on it.
The panther is pencil and charcoal, and the parrot [...]

Noah came over to spend the night with us on Saturday. We had a blast. First we took him to see Shrek Forever After, during which I plied him with candy and popcorn. It was a cute movie. We all enjoyed it, but I don’t think it was as good as some of the other [...]

Wow, Mike & I had kind of a crazy weekend. Like the kind you have when you’re 23 and full of energy and can drink unlimited quantities of beer and liquor and still function the next day. Except we toned it down a little since we’re in our early thirties.
We bought a grill (FINALLY!!) on [...]

As I mentioned, my crock pot lid shattered on Sunday, ruining my dinner, and also my crock. On Monday morning, I called Rival’s customer service department to see if I could buy a new lid. I had looked around online and wasn’t able to find the right one. The girl I talked to asked me [...]

On Friday afternoon, Mike & I decided on a whim to hit Battle Creek and go to Horrock’s. We hadn’t been there in years and it’s a pretty cool store. On the way, I finally got a chance to check out Your Local Yarn Shop on Columbia. Wow, it’s really big, nice, and they have [...]

Mike’s Aunt Debbie is in town from Pennsylvania, so we had a family brunch on Sunday, which was nice. It’s always fun to see all the family and hang with the kids. I remembered my camera and got some great photos.

I think everyone had fun! Nehemiah is wearing a hard hat because Mike & I [...]

I found this cookbook recently about making your own cat treats. I’ve heard of people making dog treats and always found it interesting, so I thought I’d give this a whirl. I made a batch of tuna cookie type things on Thursday. I rolled out the dough and cut out cut little heart shapes and [...]

Things have been super busy for me lately. Good thing I don’t have a pesky job to interfere with my swinging social life.
On Sunday we headed to Casa de Vargo in lovely Sparta for a VII reunion. It was so much fun, and I’m so so happy that everyone was able to make it. Even [...]

So what’s new with me? Hmmmm, let’s see.
First, I have been taking my vitamins and doing my workouts and I am actually getting to bed at a reasonable time at night – which is awesome news. My workouts are getting steadily better and longer which is also amazing news. So things are progressing and I [...]

It’s been a while since I made a REAL post, so I have quite a few things to recap. Last Friday we went to Zazio’s to meet Marc & Heather for dinner. We were surprised to see Casey there, because we didn’t even know he was joining us. What an awesome surprise! He also had [...]
