This party dip recipe is fairly common, but I've had so many people ask for the recipe at Christmas parties this year that I thought I'd post it. It is sometimes called White Queso. (That's a red chip.) Ingredients: 8 oz. Cream Cheese 1 can ro-tel (canned diced tomatoes and green chilis) One pound breakfast sausage Brown the breakfast … [Read more...]
Taking a Break – and Some Swagbucks News
Just a note to let you know that I'm taking a break from blogging this weekend, but I'll still be washing dishes and sweeping and such. Really, I will. I thought I'd share this info I recently received from Swagbucks: "Swagbucks is going crazy on Monday, with more ways for you to earn reward points towards free stuff. First, they're … [Read more...]
Fast and Furious Decluttering Project
Last week, I shared my One Shelf Project from the week before. The project that I had desperately hoped was just a small piece of the big picture.

The big picture for this room in need of … [Read more...]
Clean or Write?
I had a dilemma today. I could write the introspective, thought-provoking post that had been rattling around in my head all day as I drove from place to place. Or . . . I could do my daily checklist. The 5% of me that knew I should do the checklist won out over the 95% of me that would much rather write than clean. Always. Obviously, … [Read more...]
Daily in December (Who Came Up with THIS Idea?)
My December day included: Breathing a sigh of relief that the Stomach Bug from You-Know-Where hadn't struck any new victims during the night. The night when our plumbing backed up at just the point when it was too late to call the plumber. Remembering that I couldn't empty the dishwasher since I couldn't run it the night before (y'know, the … [Read more...]
Survival Mode Checklist
Soooo, I thought I was better and that this stomach bug from a-very-hot-place was done. I was wrong. I've been obsessively washing my hands, and trying to take it easy while getting some writing done for the week. Which is easier said than done, since my favorite 8yo editor is also home sick. He's full of curious questions and assumes that … [Read more...]
Chicken Tortilla Soup Recipe
I'm sharing the world's best tortilla soup recipe. Yes, I can call it that because I've eaten it on both sides of the planet. The year before my first year in Thailand, there were two other teachers from Texas at the school where I taught. They were gone when I got there, but my roommates raved about their tortilla soup recipe. When the … [Read more...]
Daily Checklist? Even When I’m Sick?
There's the big question. As someone who LOVES excuses, the I-don't-feel-so-good one is tops on my list. We've had a strange stomach virus move through the family this week. It hasn't involved any vomiting, but it's hit each one of us, ending (hopefully) with me yesterday. It's definitely something going around. Something that makes … [Read more...]
Words I Love that Don’t Love Me
I love the word versatile. It doesn't love me. This one-sided relationship results in me dumping all sorts of things in my exceptionally versatile office/game-room/guest-room. SO many things can justifiably be dumped in one of those three rooms. And when those three rooms are really one big room, the results are not good. Oh, and I … [Read more...]
