Thanksgiving Thursday and Black Friday

I’m clearly a failure at NaBloPoMo. Sigh. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. Although I don’t eat turkey and we don’t have a large family that we gather with, it’s still one of my favorite holidays. Akiva, Audrey, and I are going to my parents’ house to watch football, hang out, and eat dinner. My brother will be [...]

Odds and Ends

I’m not very good at this blogging thing. It’s odd because I used to post to LiveJournal multiple times a day but over the last few years, that greatly decreased and since moving over here, it’s become even less frequent. For dinner tonight, I made a Mexican casserole with layers of corn tortilla, black beans, [...]

Parking Drama

Audrey and I went to PCC today and for a drive around the neighborhood in a (failed) attempt to get her to take an afternoon nap. When we got home, there was a car parked blocking our driveway. I park on the street but Akiva parks in the driveway so he was blocked in. I [...]

An Overnight and Holiday Crafting

Wow, I’m really failing at this NaBloPoMo thing. I owe myself a few entries now. Last night, Audrey and I went to my parents’ house for the night. I was awake most of the night holding her since she wouldn’t sleep in any position other than on my chest, in an upright position. She generally [...]

Oh, Sheet

I forgot to write my NaBloPoMo post yesterday, so I’ll have to double up at some point. I bought a new set of sheets yesterday at Fred Meyer. Our current “winter” sheets are flannel but are fairly well worn and we needed replacement. I chose a blue and white plaid set, came home and washed [...]

Day Two

No, each post for NaBloPoMo will not be titled with the day number. If I post on another blog (well, on Road of Miracles), does that count as my blog post for the day? No, probably not. I don’t recall my exact grocery bill for today, but I had success again with coupons and sales. [...]
