Mediocre Cheesy Potato Soup
At 5:17 yesterday, I wandered into the kitchen, suffering from the munchies and completely unaware of the time. Hubby asked if I was making supper. I looked at him like he was crazy. I mean, it was nowhere near time to think about supper . . . right? Except that 5:17 kind of is time to at least think about it. I had no concept of time … [Read more...]

Big Things Going On in the Gameroom
Did you notice how I called it "The Gameroom" without any slashes, parentheses, or other explanation? I'm doing my best to start thinking of this as a single purpose room that can adjust to other purposes when needed. This is the second week of work on this room-overhaul, and I'm ready to see some real progress. Last week's frustrating … [Read more...]
Laundry Day’s Most Important Step
Last week, I finally caught up on laundry. After Christmas-break-craziness and a January of e-book-tunnel-vision, my Laundry Loveseat was finally back to being . . . just a loveseat.

Proof in the Clock
So I'm focusing on my gameroom this month. I re-arranged the furniture yesterday, hated it . . . and then felt a little annoyed when my kids and husband thought it was wonderful. I know. I have issues. Thanks for all of your encouraging comments on that post. And for your understanding. I'm guessing the annoyance came from my desire to … [Read more...]
