This was the year. Of course I thought about it. But I didn’t obsess about it all day. And the day before. And the day after.
What is July 25? [Read more...]
So Much To Do
15 June 2010 By Leave a Comment
Summer is here! My husband commented yesterday that we are going to run ourselves ragged keeping the kids entertained this summer. I commented that they will have awesome summer memories when they get older of their parents hanging out with them. I think both statements are right! [Read more...]
Why can’t we live inside of dreams?
30 March 2010 By 1 Comment
Last night I had a dream that my mother was alive, She was hiding though. We went to a hotel… I don’t remember why now. It was a dump. It had an elevator and you could only enter from inside, but it was a dump just the same. We were staying in the same room as she was in. She left a mess, and a cat and the cat knew. When we checked in we didn’t know it was her room. It was like the last person to use it left in a hurry. Mess under the bed, bed unmade. We checked in and I knew she was there. How? We lode around. The neighbor came in. I don’t remember why. She commented on the last person to use the room. Made some noise and then left. She was dead, we had a funeral. [Read more...]
Cookbooks
18 February 2010 By 2 Comments
I am addicted to recipe books. My gram likes to remind me that when I was a kid I told her “if you can read, you can cook” and I still believe it today. You may not have the best technique in the world, but a good cookbook will take you pretty far in the kitchen.I love to cook. I love to bake. I love to feed my friends and family. I love to go food shopping. It’s a wonder I am not twenty times the size of the house. I think I have over a hundred cookbooks all told, and my collection just keeps growing. Most are dogeared and written in and well loved. Some were my mothers (whose idea of cooking was dialing the telephone) and some we my grams. Some I picked up on a whim and turned out to be a gem. Some I’ve never made a thing out of but they sure are a good read. Some are stored outside in the garage because my bookshelf is overflowing. I read them like books. Some of the newer ones are books that just happen to have recipes thrown in for good measure. Those are the best kind. [Read more...]
Happy Valentine’s Day

We don’t really celebrate Valentine’s Day, just because Michael makes sure to tell me every day that he loves me, and I do the same. It’s not a once-a-year type thing. You should celebrate your love for the people in your life every day. While some of the people I love are so very far away, they might fall by the wayside now and again, I try to let them know at other times of the year. I feel like Valentine’s is so forced – it’s something you are suppose to do. Michael made me a cute card and put it on my keyboard after I fell asleep last night. I didn’t get him a card this year. We are going out to dinner tomorrow night (and getting dressed up too!) and Eshiva picked out a cake that we’ll have tonight. [Read more...]
