Eggs are a cheap protein, and so we tend to use them a lot. But I go through stages of what I want to eat, so I'll sometimes abandon a food for my husband to eat. And all it takes is finding one rotten egg for him to refuse to touch any of them. And … Continue reading Don’t Count Your Eggs Before They… Go Bad?
Starring random Hispanic dude we accidentally called five times. Let me explain. My in-laws have a new house. They're moving out of the city and into the country, and they have a new house. They've been working on cleaning up the old home, their 'starter' home of 30+ years for sale. This weekend, we visited … Continue reading Let’s Play What Circuit Is This Outlet On?
My hair had gotten to midback, and on Friday night it got pinned so badly beneath my husband that I cried while we tried to untangle because he didn't wake up right away. Plus I'm feeling awful... awful about my finances, awful about my mental health, awful about how much work I'm getting done and … Continue reading Time for Some Change – Get the Scissors!
The shop I had my car towed to called, and the results are MUCH better than feared. It is NOT the engine like they feared. It is NOT the AWD like my husband feared. Instead, my little bro is the winner... it's the alternator! A bearing seized in the alternator and it threw and damaged … Continue reading Good Car News at Least
I had a TON of fun looking at end of the world bunkers with my brother and rating them based on practicality, design, whether the close spaces would incite violence, you know, the usual criteria. So far, my favorite is from Atlas Survival Shelters: The Pennsylvania. The image below is, of course, theirs and copyrighted … Continue reading End of the World Bunkers-R-Us
I didn't get any pictures from the techs, sad, sad, which is unfortunate, but I had my MRI on last Monday! I was rescheduled, and it turns out that's because they wanted to use this piece that wraps around my head, and that won't fit in the normal MRI. Fair enough. I was scheduled for … Continue reading MRI Anecdotes
I'm heading to Madison this afternoon for my MRI. This is attempt number two since they scheduled me for the wrong machine last time. My in-laws will watch Tundra which is super nice of them, and we'll stop by and see a friend from college on the way. He's in long term recovery care - … Continue reading Off to Get My Head Examined Take Two
Or Happy New Year's Eve at least! Traditionally, my husband and I go around and change all the fire detector and carbon monoxide batteries on New Year's. Because nothing says being an adult like drinking and climbing a ladder propped up on a staircase. I jest. The drinking happens afterwards, but it's a silly image … Continue reading Happy New Year!
No post today because at the time I SHOULD be posting, I will instead be in church. My church is less than a block from my house, so that's no big deal. I just walk over, and my husband stays home to watch Tundra. My family always opens our presents on Christmas Eve though, which … Continue reading Merry Christmas, Ya’ll!
I've been pretty stressed lately. Mostly because I'm pushing hard for words for NaNoWriMo! But my husband decided to cook more, and he's been experimenting with cooking new recipes. Mostly, he's been trying things himself. I'm personally a fan of any cooking that isn't mine because I don't have the energy right now. But this … Continue reading My Honey Made Me Orange Chicken!
