I need enchiladas. I suddenly, desperately need enchiladas. I can’t make enchiladas (ask husband - there have been countless attempts). Can someone please hop in a plane and bring me enchiladas????
(I am aware this also fits in the First World Problem category.)
(Rereading this, I am also aware it sounds like I am knocked up. Rest assured I am not. Completely the opposite in fact. We...
hair hair hair
Out with the new, in with the old. I went darker last month because I thought I was a brunette, but apparently I’m a blonde. Seriously, I think my hair is dark, but I don’t look good with darker hair and the stylist showed me a chart thingy that proved I am the darkest blonde on the spectrum which is why my features just don’t jive with the darker hair. Lame.
So, I’m...
home again, jiggety jig
Dad is at home now. The next bit is the hard part, but I think mom is up to the challenge. Seriously, if you ever are completely incapacitated and need someone to nurse you back to the living, the best thing EVER would be having my mom at your side. She’ll sleep on the floor next to your bed for weeks, helping you every hour of the day or night (she’s done it, too), she won’t...
woo
Dad is out of surgery and they said it was as routine as it could be. Continue to cross your fingers, please.
honest.
A while back, delightsandshadows had a gorgeous baby. There had been previous pregnancies that hadn’t made it to term so the birth of Mini was/is truly a wonderful thing. After she’d climbed out of that huge just-had-a-baby-my-entire-life-is-upside-down haze, she posted the most beautifully written description of that transition into motherhood that I have ever read. (She’s a...
dear car keys:
You are there for the insanity. You are there in the car when tantrums go down. You have heard the Veggie Tales Singing Christmas Album over one million times (don’t hate, there’s a surprisingly good rendition of Handel’s For Unto Us A Child Is Born… and 4 others I immediately skip over - you’re welcome). You are especially there for the dismount. You see me drag...
It is -13 right now.
How am I supposed to retain any sanity at all????

I thought maybe I got Seasonal Affective Disorder in the cold months. Turns out I do get SAD, but my version stands for Seasonal Anger Disorder. Snow+cold+neverending=MAD.REVA.
We had our first big snowstorm this weekend - church was cancelled, it took the husband over 2 hours to plow the driveway, and I stayed in the house with the kids the entire time. Now, I do that verra often. Unless the...

A loosely-organized group of internet activists known as Anonymous announced on Sunday that it was declaring war on the meteorologic phenomenon known as snow.

I’m a thinking-thoughtful person. I think lots of things. I’m usually thinking. But one thing I really wish I could change about myself would be that I’d rather be a ACTING-thoughtful person. When I try to go ahead and do something thoughtful, it’s almost always a trainwreck. If you are my friend, you are very likely the recipient of a gift that you had to...
HOLY SNAPOLI
TUMBLR WAS DEAD AND IT MADE ME SO VIOLENTLY ILL. OHHH THE THINGS I COULD HAVE BLOGGED ABOUT BUT I COULDN’T. IT WAS AWFUL, AWFUL I TELL YOU.
HMM. AWFUL LOOKS WEIRD IF YOU LOOK AT IT TOO LONG.
ACTUALLY, NOTHING INTERESTING HAPPENED EXCEPT TUMBLR WENT DOWN AND I COULDN’T BLOG.
It was horrible. I think in this circumstance, the caps lock is completely appropriate. I...
