A few days ago, I promised to post a recipe “tomorrow”…and that “tomorrow” has come and gone. Linus has been studying like a crazy person and hasn’t been home for dinner. When I eat alone, I tend to eat very healthy food (ice cream, cereal, cookies–you get the picture) so no foodie pictures. I promise [...]

baby, it’s cold outside?
When I get up in the morning, I pretend it’s really cold. I make hot tea and put on my Scooby-socks. “Brrr”, I say to myself (because when you get old like me you have to say things out loud while pretending). I convince myself that I must brave the frigid air and potentially frozen [...]

Linus and I were running errands and saw this guy sitting at the stoplight (I took the picture through the windshield to avoid being attacked by any elves hiding). This was the straw that broke the camel’s back. I’d considered doing it but tried to be strong…resist temptation. But this was a sign, right? I [...]

November 1st, we went to watch “The Great Pumpkin [Drop]” (name, courtesy of yours truly). Basically, private planes try to drop pumpkins and hit a target.
Here’s a close-up of the pumpkin and plane:
It was a fun day (despite the fact we arrived 2.5 hours early).
This was my favorite plane next to my favorite dude (love [...]

blog lovin’
I have a routine. After Linus goes to work, I make coffee (or hot tea), open the blinds, and sit in my corner to catch up emails and blog posts that went up while I was asleep. It’s truly one of the highlights of my day. Today, I thought I might share some of the [...]

ready for christmas
It’s true. I think I must’ve grown accustomed to winter coming so quickly in Colorado because I just do not know what to do with 80 degree weather in NOVEMBER! Lord, help us! (Yes mother, I’m using the exclamation marks because I’m yelling.) In the meantime, I’m trying to do autumn things (we almost put [...]

vote for us mavericks on tuesday!
Halloween was fun. Just between us, I think Linus and I enjoyed dressing up more than the whole party.
We’re McCain and Palin in case you can’t tell.
(1st photo: “McCain” giving a speech. 2nd photo: One of the many pictures people asked to get with the “candidates”)
It was quite obvious on Friday night that we live [...]
