I spent all morning making stupid fondant roses and within ten minutes the starving horde of eight-year-olds had reduced the cake to this: Arabella’s birthday was pretty low-key. I don’t remember the last time I had a child whose birthday has fallen on a Saturday. That meant Mister was around to take the birthday girl […]
Halloween: when I’m even more of a witch than normal. My mother is going to bug me until I post some pictures, so I’m just getting it over with. All costumes were homemade this year (except York’s; all I had to get for him was a $4 ski mask. Yesss.) My mom made Arabella […]
It is time at our Elementary School for the semi-annual book fair. Which I hate. And not just because we are on a very limited budget and the last thing I want to be spending money on is the hardcover version of Super Diaper Baby. I’m just playing; Super Diaper Baby only comes in paperback. […]
All right, my lovelies. Here’s this week’s food storage items. These will be a breeze.——->>> Here’s who bought their flour last week: Suzanne-are you the one who already had their flour and wheat? That leaves a whole bunch of people who haven’t gotten their flour. Sigh.

I do not understand certain things: Why people dislike traveling when there are no kids involved. Sitting in a chair, albeit an uncomfortable one on a plane, with nothing to do but read books and eat snacks? Delightful! You would be correct in assuming that I’m pretty jazzed about flying solo. Big purses! They’re everywhere! […]
Things are getting off to a slow start this morning on account of me still being in bed. You see, it’s a snow day here in Austin. We got a whole inch of snow so naturally school was cancelled. To add insult to injury, we have a three day break starting Monday. That means my […]
Ten years ago I begged my friend Nancy to show me how to knit. I learned the very basics and started knitting this hideous thing: It’s a bandage for people with leprosy. Not joking. Our church sent them to lepers in very poor parts of the world. Making leprosy bandages seemed so noble, at the […]
We’re already on week six! How is it going for you? Are you playing along? Have you managed to buy a little something extra every time you go to the store? This week we’ll be working on adding fruit to our pantries and freezers. I’d like you to get mostly canned. This shouldn’t be a […]

I don’t want to go to bed even though it’s midnight because I don’t want it to be tomorrow already. Know what I mean? P.S. I have crumbs in my cleavage. I guess I got a little too excited about the warm homemade bread tonight.
