On Cooking, Accountability, and Being Forgotten. You know what magazine I love? Despite the fact that it is a 40 page advertisement that shows up quarterly? The Kraft Canada What's Cooking. Magazine. I positively salivate when I know that it will soon be arriving, and I will have another 40 pages of not-so-good-for-you-but-oh-so-delicious-and-freaking-simple recipes will soon be showing up in my mailbox. Besides, when I'm trying to cook at home more, Kraft makes this waaaaay easier. I was removed from th...

So This Is Married Life?: August 2010
http://thenewmrss.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Let's See How We're Getting On. So, it's August. Let's see where we are with the Summer 15. I'm not thinking it's all that great. Purchase and install a new low-flow toilet in the powder room on the main floor. It's all about government rebates! All that's left is mailing my application! This was an adventure, and I'm thrilled that Dale came to help with the craziness, because I'd still be curled up in a ball crying if I'd had to do this myself. It was a 6 hour project. I KNOW! Go swimming, or do somethi...

New Years and All that Planning. Okay It's been a while. 5 months a while. Like many things in my life, I look with longing at people who blog regularly and realize that it's just not me. I am a busy girl who spends her spare time on Facebook, churning my numbers for the rather addictive game Mousehunt. It's a small life that I live. Let's recap what's happened in the past 5 months, shall we? I went to the doctor, and my blood pressure is out of control. My best guess is stress from work. I'm pre...Work ...

Aka I Clean Up Good). As a child, my mother had my hair cut short. Really short. I was mistaken for a boy short. It wasn't ego boosting, and I'm not posting pictures. And while that haircut made the most sense for a mother with short hair who had no idea what to do with her daughter's hair, it meant that I never learned what to do with hair other than wash it and comb it. But I admire people with fancy hair. People who can braid it, and put it up and make themselves look good. The height of my sk...I sta...

So This Is Married Life?: September 2011

Scenes from a Football Game. In the car, tons of lightning and wind outside. My mother has managed to get the Sweet Marie bars out of the cooler by dragging the lawn chairs into the back seat and leaning into the cooler). Mom: We need to get these out. I think I have an emery board. It's cardboard though. I'm not sure I'll be able to get more than one or two before it will be ruined. I am so glad I remembered that there were some settings of plastic silverware in the bag of football paraphernalia.

So This Is Married Life?: One Month Down...
http://thenewmrss.blogspot.com/2011/07/one-month-down.html
So summer has been happening. You'd think from the lack of time that I spend here I would be out in the real world, but sadly that is not the case. Summer has been lovely, though. I didn't put together a Summer 15. I'm soldiering on with the 15 for 2011. There may be a little editing as we go. Let's see, shall we? Decide what to do about the laundry sink and the current plumbing problems that it has (we cannot turn the hot water tap, there are no shutoffs, the tub itself isn't particularly sturdy). The f...

I can never decide how I feel about her.hers is a style of writing that I do not enjoy. But I've taken up the challenge of 1000 gifts to bring joy this yea...Use t...

Yeah, it's June. I've been busy on the Mountain. Frankly, life in general has had me scrambling to keep up. I prefer that metaphor to the one where I'm in the wagon, careening downwards and screaming the whole way. Which I also feel like right now. I'm going to recap where we are in the List for this year, and you may understand why. Do the upgrades that I have purchased for the house. I have the. Paint for the side door and front shutters. New light for the patio. Blog of what I make. I can never decide...
