Have you ever heard of rice krispy treat addiction? It’s a thing, I assure you. My…uh…friend…we’ll call her Not-Darla, is a sufferer. Krispy treats are like crack to Not-Darla. Normally, if you were to ask her what her favorite dessert is, she would say brownies. Always brownies. Not krispy treats. Yet, if you put krispies […]...
Happy Valentine’s Day, friends! You know how I told you guys that we don’t really celebrate V-day around here? Well, I was telling the truth, but you wanna know what I woke up to this morning?? I’ll tell you what. A Valentine’s Day gift. That’s right. The Hubster got up early, went downstairs, and set […]...
So, I didn’t watch the Super Bowl yesterday. In fact, I didn’t even know it was Super Bowl Sunday until right around lunchtime, when I saw something mentioned on Facebook. I’m sure it’s no great surprise that I’m not into sports. I mean, I dunno…I grew up watching football, cheering on the Colts. Basketball was […]...
Day two of blogiversary celebrations, and, as promised, more chocolate. MOAR CHOCOLATE!! Ahem. Sorry. I knew I wanted a yummy kind of truffly brownie goodness covered in white chocolate this time, but I had a really tough time deciding what flavors I should use. In the end, the only thing that stopped these from being […]...
Yesterday, I had to deal with a worker person in my house. I’m very particular with worker people being in my house. It’s not worker people, in general, that I have a problem with…they are, in all the instances I’ve worked with them, hard working, honest, friendly, and kind. Usually, they tend to be a […]...
I’m not sure I understand Elf on the Shelf. I mean, I think it’s adorable. From what I gather, the little fella, or gal, pops in to keep an eye on kiddos, and make sure they’re staying outta trouble, yes? The elves report back to the Big Man himself on whether the kids are being […]...
I’m writing about spiders today. Again. I know. You guys have got to be so sick of hearing about spiders. I’m sorry. But seriously, they’re so bad here, even the Hubster is getting fed up. He’s fed up with seeing them, he’s fed up with killing them, he’s fed up with me doing the heeby […]...
The heat came on in my house this morning. We have one of those automatic systems where you set the temperature, and it’ll either turn on the heat or the A/C to maintain it, as needed. The heat came on this morning. What the what, Oregon?! It’s July 24th! <—Not really. It’s August 24th. Way […]...
When I was a little girl, my Grandma Mae lived so far away. This is my mom’s mom. My other grandma, my dad’s mom, lived super close. At least, I used to think that Grandma Mae lived far away…she actually only lived, like, 45 minutes away, but when you’re little, that seems so much further. […]...
I bought fireworks for the first time ever yesterday. I mean, I’ve bought sparklers before, but let’s get real…those are not fireworks. Probably, the stuff I bought isn’t really considered fireworks either, but they make big fountains of colored sparks and stinky pretty colored smoke, so I’m calling them fireworks. Whatevs. The point is, I’m […]...
