Did some meal prep and thought you'd like to take a look. I used a variant of this recipe from Pioneer Woman but excluded the sweet peppers. I ended up with eight containers full after we had eaten some: And they juuuuust fit in the freezer. This is right before I put the last two … Continue reading Food Prep!

Seeds Have Arrived!
That Glorious Day has arrived! My seeds are here: There were two freebies - one was Dark Purple Opal Basil, which I had ordered as part of my order. The other was Cilantro, and I mailed that to a friend because I loathe Cilantro. Several of the items I wanted to order were out of … Continue reading Seeds Have Arrived!
Just A Squee of Glee!
One of my alpha readers texted to tell me that she loved my novel and couldn't put it down. I about died of relief. You spend a year or more writing a novel alone with no feedback. It's hard to be subjective about your work because what you dreamed it could be is SO MUCH … Continue reading Just A Squee of Glee!
Infuriating Paperwork
I have student loans that I've had on an Income Driven Repayment Plan. When I found out my job was ending in September, I applied for them to be recalculated and included my severance letter. A month passed, and I was starting to be suspicious. I called. The paperwork had hung because my husband's proof … Continue reading Infuriating Paperwork
Now We Can Call Her ‘Doctor’
A close friend walked for her PhD yesterday! This is especially impressive because she works full time, has two kids under the age of five, and has ADD (ADHD?). I am SO happy for her! She worked hard and this has taken years of consistent, hard work to succeed. I was one of the ones … Continue reading Now We Can Call Her ‘Doctor’
Howling Wolf Cookie Fail
Every year we have a cookie walk with our church to raise money for utilities and such for the winter. Every year I bake cookies for it. This year, I wanted to do sugar cookies but didn't want to have to roll them out... so I tried a cookie stamp. Here's the stamp: You oil … Continue reading Howling Wolf Cookie Fail
Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds Catalog Is Out!
Guess what came this week! I'm so excited. I love gardening (even though I'm not the best at it), and I especially love growing heirloom plants and unusual plants. So here's a peak at the cover: I had a lot of fun carefully reading each entry and circling those I was interested in. I won't … Continue reading Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds Catalog Is Out!
I’m Not Going to Chop Them Off!
Pet owners probably know the pain of this: trimming your dog's toes. Now, this isn't limited to dogs. When we had canaries we had to catch them and trim their little toesies, and I had to with my cat. But Tundra, he's CONVINCED that the clippers are going to take his toes off. This is … Continue reading I’m Not Going to Chop Them Off!
There’s a Dark Cloud Following Me
Which sounds dramatic, but that's what it feels like. I've mentioned that have Bipolar I, rapid cycling, but it's pretty rare that I talk about how I'm doing because my meds are good, and my swings tend to both be shallow and short in duration. Not so much this time. There's a hollow feeling and … Continue reading There’s a Dark Cloud Following Me
