So this is a post from Leif’s blog on MySpace, which I had to repost here for myself. Good thing one parent is on the ball.

Cryptic wisdom, or the ramblings of a child?
Current mood: thirsty
My 4 year old daughter loves to browse through storybooks whenever she has free time ( which is pretty much all [...]

Happy Tofurkey Turducken Turkey Day!
Posted in Family on November 27, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Okay, so I didn’t actually make a tofurkey. I made a turducken for Iain and a turkey for everyone else, but I didn’t touch any meat today. No turkey, no turducken, no gravy. I am soo proud of myself! It was a challenge because I have slowly been working my way towards vegetarianism/veganism. I am [...]
And the Bleakness Continues. . .

I’m not really sure why November decided to take a nose dive, but it sure has. One of my close friends was just laid off and another is currently at the emergency room with her almost 1-year old baby. My bad news is that I got back from my trip yesterday to find out my [...]
The Visit Went Well

So I dropped off my parents yesterday. I’m beat. Part of the problem is that I was trying to save money, so I cooked. Here is the menu, in case you were curious:
Thursday supper
Crab cakes/salmon cakes with salad (Leif doesn’t eat shellfish)
(I used garlic scapes in place of scallion and panko in place of typical [...]
Pure Exhaustion

Okay, so this week I’ve just been dragging. Probably started when I stayed up too late on Sunday. And then, as married couples are wont to do on occasion, Leif and I ended staying up late Monday in a heated “discussion.” Then we were doing better yesterday, but got into another “discussion.” And then there [...]
A Quiet Morning

Yesterday a got a call from the funeral home that the ashes were ready to pick up. It’s a small urn, maybe 3 inches high. Small. I added them to the memory box, I keep adding things. Boy, though the funeral home strongly reminded me of the 70s. Dark brick walls and dark wood. We [...]
Better Now

So my mom called again tonight. I think she felt bad. It was awkward at first, but it got better as we kept talking and THANK GOD she did not even try to put my father on the line. I should try better to not let them under my skin. It demeans me when I [...]
Birthday

Today is Iain’s birthday, and I went to see him after class at his usual hangout. He turns 30 today, and it is his last smoking day. He quits tomorrow. I am glad I enjoy his company so much–the more I find out about people, the more I see that every family is different. Being [...]
The Great Trunk Escapade

This past weekend there were a few garage sales going on. I didn’t really want to go out, but I thought I might find a few deals. My friend, Mike, told me to come over Thursday night before they started on Friday. So I headed over there and found a child’s booster seat, a CD [...]
James Bond-with more cowbell
Posted in Family on April 4, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
My parents came in yesterday, but they weren’t coming until the afternoon, so I had time to clean (thankfully). So I watched a little James Bond in the background–The Spy Who Loved Me, to be more precise. I love James Bond, a little action fluff is good. But in the beginning of the movie there’s [...]
