Month: January 2009

     My menu plan for the week is completed, printed and hanging on the front of the fridge.  I use the Calendar Creator on Print Shop to do my calendars.       I change the picture each week, and I like to add a text box in the open area to the left of the calendar to […]

     Whoooooosh!  That was the sound of my day flying by!  My goodness, it passed by very, very quickly!  Consequently, we ran quite late into the evening…..late for us, at any rate.  We had dinner at 7:00, and I still had laundry running after the boys went to bed.  That’s certainly not the normal for […]

     Using the random number generator was a bit complicated this time.  The complication, of course, a result of the difficult Xanga commenting system.       Here’s what I did.  I counted the number of comments left on the blog post, subtracting the birthday wishes that were mixed in with the entries.  I then checked the drawing entries […]

     We are all in recovery mode from the virus we’ve had.  No one feels quite 100%, but we’re all close.  My husband returned to work today after his normal days off, four of them this week, which is certainly a blessing.  It gave him plenty of time to rest and fight off the bug.  […]

     Between the dense valley fog we’ve had most of the week and yesterday’s rain, we have not seen the sun for a week.  It was wonderful this morning to wake up to brilliant sunshine!  It was glorious!  The cloudless skies meant we had overnight lows in the freezing range, and it’s still cold this morning, but […]

     I have had a most excellent day!  Dani and I were able to slip away for a girlie outing, just the two of us.  We browsed and browsed to our hearts’ content at the Jo-Ann Superstore.  Fabric.  Yarn.  Paper crafting.  Lots of wonderful sales, gift cards in hand and a 10% off the total purchase […]

     Happy New Year!  We had such a fun New Year’s Eve!  Around 6:30 or so, I finished up the Cheese Fondue and put the little smoked sausages on to heat.  I hadn’t intended for Dani to do any of the work, but she started pulling out pretty pink glass ware to serve from.  When […]
