Today, apparently, we’re going for a food theme. Why? Well, cuz I’m tired of lookin at my ass and seeing double. So I’m keeping a food diary for myself (on paper – no details for you!) and looking for ways to modify my favorite recipes. Today, we’re serving Curried Chicken Salad. I’m just waiting [...]

So I was reading about cold-brewed coffee at Granny’s, and decided to try it. I also decided that I’m absolutely in no way, shape, or form gonna spend $$$$ for the advertised equipment. Yes, I said “advertised”. The article was a very thinly veiled advert for this.

The instructions are basically to mix one [...]

A song comes on the radio, and suddenly I’m transported back to 1987. Roll the windows down, crank the volume up, and sing along as I buzz down the road. As I come up to a red light, I reach for the gearshift……

and realize I’m in the van. It’s SO hard to be [...]

The earth just sucks.

Yeah, I know. Great outlook for a Friday, but guess what??!!?? I’ve been up since 5 AM. Dan woke us ALL up with his trademarked glass-shattering squeals. Why? “Mommy, I got POOP in my FROAT!”

Taking a small break from moving furniture around while Joe naps. The living room wasn’t as bad as I originally thought it was….the piles of crap are only the furniture moved around. Unfortunately, moving it while the boys jump on it (and me) is proving to be difficult.

Updating on Granny: I had [...]

Editor’s note: I actually wrote this up last night, but the stupid thing wouldn’t let me post and I was too tired to hit it with the sledgehammer.

Backstory: When I left the house 1 1/2 months ago, I left it in something of a mess. I had to ransack my laundry piles [...]

Well, Granny came home from the Dr. today with a nice hideously large gray walking boot. She’s going to be staying with my uncle and cousin for the rest of the week. That should give me time to get the house cleaned up, and I hope to be back on the road home no [...]

Granny is getting around better all the time. Yesterday she made it into the kitchen and made a pot of coffee – totally without help. I was shocked, surprised, and amazed. She went to the Dr. last Friday, and is doomed to ride in the wheelchair for the next four weeks – absolutely NO [...]

Granny is doing fairly well – lots of ups and downs. She absolutely does NOT like sitting and being waited on after waiting on everyone else all these years. We’re going to try to get her out of the wheelchair and onto a walker at the end of the week I hope. That’s when [...]
