Colin and his mother were just discussing St. Patrick’s Day on the phone and she mentioned that they have corned beef and cabbage to celebrate. So, I asked for her recipe and she said “it’s the easiest thing in the world” and I paraphrase the rest with the following: Put water and the spices from [...]

Colin and I are both grumpy this morning. He woke up with a headache and I woke up mildly nauseous for the 10th day in a row or something (no, I’m not pregnant unless the tests lie). There are piles of clean, unfolded laundry sitting on the floor around the house and the kids dumped all [...]
I asked Degen if he wanted some pineapple for a snack this afternoon and he refused until I took him over to the refrigerator and showed him the Ziplock full of leftover pineapple from last night’s pizza toppings. Then he got excited and said he wanted some. That’s not the cute, funny part. The cute, funny [...]

Yesterday was my birthday and I really had a great day. My family called and sang Happy Birthday to me on speakerphone in the morning, an indispensable part of any truly good birthday. Colin spent most of the day up north helping with the cleanup of the tornado disaster that happened a couple of weeks ago, [...]

Colin is home sick today and we needed groceries, so Degen and I headed to the grocery store with a list and a budget while Maggie napped and Colin worked on the computer. Degen and I headed to the post office to send off a check, then went to the nearest Kroger. There’s not much [...]

Last night we didn’t get a babysitter for our date, so I don’t know if you can really count it as a date because the kids came along. Actually, I didn’t get a sitter because I was going to crash a neighboring ward’s Cub Scout Blue and Gold banquet and leave the kids with Colin. [...]

Colin and I love lasagne/a, but we never eat it, partly because it’s expensive and partly because it’s carbohydrate-intensive and that’s less than ideal for a diabetic (we hardly ever eat pasta, period). I’ve never made lasagne all by myself before and I’ve always heard that it’s a pain to make, but that made me [...]
