are they ever going back to school?

it seems like the kiddo has had the longest Christmas break ever! Today is the last day of "freedom" back to the old grind tomorrow

HAPPY 2013!

I continue to not do resolutions and even if I did why share them with the world?! I am so awful with follow through I suspect any resolutions would already be broken by like 12.42 am on the 1st...no for reals I am just that awful.
Now that being said I have totally fallen off the exercise wagon over the past few months so I have checked out class times at the Y and plan on jumping back on that particular bandwagon this Friday! and I am telling everyone so everyone should please give me hell on Friday afternoon if I have not gotten my behind to the class

curent day anachronisms

Connor was faced with his first busy signal this weekend when trying to call his grandmother on her home phone...he kept trying to tell me that  Meemaw's phone had been disconnected, much like bar soap & hand crank windows it had the boy confounded

it is all about the side dishes

honestly I like turkey, ham or whatever sort of meat/protein product is served at a holiday meal but my favorite part of any large meal is the side dishes. This year I panned on contributing 2 sides and a dessert but I keep adding side dishes that I really want....corn bread thingy, roasted cauliflower, creamed spinach, glazed carrots....oh my too many ideas swirling about and not enough time. And I have not even started considering dessert recipes yet

random holiday thoughts

-tree is going up this weekend
-really really really want to buy a pink or white tree...maybe I'll wait till after holiday clearance sales
-one of these years I really want to host a cookie exchange....do I know anyone who bakes?
-sending out cards this year come hell or high water! I love getting Christmas cards and it's a wonder we get any I am so lame about sending them out
-kinda sorta feel the need for a tacky holiday sweater this year
-holiday sweater vests are truly awful

halloween 2013

costumes get less cute & cuddly as you go along don't they?

tricky business

trying to fall asleep yet fighting falling asleep just in case you wake up feeling lousy again....

mom jeans

I must admit I still am not so clear on what constitutes mom jeans but whatever I am a mom I like wearing jeans and luckily have a job that lets me wear jeans. This losing weight trip means that jeans I could not bear to part with fit again, including my favorite favorite purple jeans which strike me as not mom jeans but I digress...my favorite regular blue jeans no longer fit they are too big and of course they do not have belt loops so off to the donation pile they go!

omlets all around!

while I really love having a source for fresh eggs we now have 4 dozen on hand
