Ungrateful

Monday, January 19th, 2009

I need to figure out a way to enjoy snow days again… School was canceled today and instead of being excited about it, I’m kind of bummed.  So much for my “day off” – no long trip to the gym and no watching movies with my parents now.  A day of staying home and cleaning [...]

“That was the best damn liver I’ve ever had.”

Sunday, January 18th, 2009

Hey, its kind of a compliment!  I fixed liver and onions and peppers tonight (and a loaf of homemade wheat bread).  David doesn’t like liver and I didn’t like it when I was a child, but its extremely healthy – lots of iron and B vitamins – so I decided to make it for dinner.  [...]

great quotes

Saturday, January 17th, 2009

Here are some quotes I found that really resonated with me:
I’m selfish, impatient, and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle, but if you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best. -M.Monroe

Saturday, January 17th, 2009

2 eggs
3/4 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup milk
If you want to make crepes add a bit of sugar, pour into a teflon pan and fry with a little non-stick spray, turning after about one minute – this will make about 8 crepes.  If you want [...]

ha!

Friday, January 16th, 2009

At Christmas Dinner with Grandmommy and Pop-Pop there was Yorkshire Pudding.  David and I both loved it, and I commented on how it tasted a lot like crepes except thicker.  David totally disagreed and shared his dislike of my crepes with the whole family (it was embarrassing for me!).  Well, today I was making crepes [...]

cold day at home

Friday, January 16th, 2009

Well, its 1 degree outside this morning and Ellie has a terrible cold, so I canceled doing childcare at the gym and we’re going to have a nice calm day at home.  On the agenda: watching movies, playing boardgames, some baking, and cleaning house.  I already have a big pot of italian bean-spinach soup in [...]
