*Le Sigh* Life keeps happening around me and I can't quite tell if I'm an active participant or an innocent bystander. I'm basically treading water at this point. The recap for 2018 will be in italics and updates will be in bold. When I get done with the back and forth, it'll be just regular … Continue reading 2018: A Year in Review. Yeah. It’s a Year Late.

I didn't spend the day trying to write within the lines while my hands grasped the pencil so hard that it made my fingers hurt, leaving red bumps as a reminder that I have difficulty writing....but my son did. I didn't spend the day worried what would happen if I didn't stick to my routine....but … Continue reading I’ve had a bad day, but not as bad as it’s been for my son.

It was a status symbol of your adulthood. You probably got it after graduating from college. You might have acquired one in college.

Look, I'm not going to pretend that I know how to take care of aquatic life creatures, even more so pretend … Continue reading We’ve Lost A Few Good Fish This Year

The picture doesn't do it justice.  There was even more steam as The Great Thaw progressed.  It all started with me not reading the directions of a recipe in detail.  I had all intentions of cooking Butternut Squash Spaghetti....until I got home and read that after I fight with the butternut squash … Continue reading This is probably a terrible idea.

Breakfast.Lunch.Dinner.Snacks in-between.This.Is.My.Life.I enjoy cooking. I enjoy eating. I do not enjoy cleaning up after cooking and eating. Someone should keep track of the percentage of my time spent in the kitchen. That someone will not be me as I enjoy breathing in a normal pattern.
