Easter is so much easier when you have your own Easter Bunny. ;) Though he was a little critical of our egg dying skills. Happy Easter to those who celebrate it! Everyone else, Happy Sunday the 12th of April! :) … [Read more...]
Bringing back Winter…

Odd week. Started off Monday with my husband coming home and telling me that they disbanded his group at work and starting Tuesday he would be in a new group. Good news, he still has a job. Bad new, whoa, out of left field. Moving on, thanks to all of those who checked out my kitchen over at Use Real Butter. Yes, I know I am spoiled and have a big kitchen. Realize that I had small apartment kitchens all my life, so I earned it. ;) Also, many people said they were bummed that the picture of me was not of me in my hockey gear. So here you go (see below). There is me at April Ice, a tournament held in Calgary, Alberta, back in 2004. I was still living in Phoenix at the time (notice the logo). Starting tomorrow my parents arrive so I will be MIA some more. Sorry. Spring tried to come around these parts. We had unseasonable warm weather and it made everyone happy but me. So to bring the cold weather back (there is even rumors of snow on Monday) I made some cocoa and marshmallows with a … [Read more...]
Hey Bevis…

...they said bitch. I am not sure what it is about watching the Dog Shows but every time they say the word bitch I giggle like a little 12 year girl. Now I don't giggle at things like 'Skipper is a two year old bitch”. I can hold it together for those kinds of things. But last night while watching the dog show on TV (I love the Pomeranian, King Charles Spaniels and the Bernese Mountain Dogs) I lost all control and giggled uncontrollably for many a minute. I mean how can you not laugh at “I had that bitch in the ring before”. I don't know why it threw me but it did. And while we are on the subject of dog shows, why do the women who show the dogs wear suits from the 1980's. Do I need to buy them a calender to let them know what year it is? I realize you don't want to show up the dog and all, but ugh, some of those outfits make them look like dogs...and not the good kind. Bow-wow ladies. You are not at home cleaning the house in your bleached stained green sweatpants, … [Read more...]

By the way, if you are interested in seeing and hearing about my kitchen, then catch my tour over at Jen's blog, Use Real Butter (it's up now). Be sure to check out all of the kitchens she has been featuring, it's been fun to look at all the different styles of kitchens. So I'm weird. I think that has been established. I am needle and dentist phobic. Also, been established. My third phobia is spiders. However, I understand that they play a valuable roll in the food chain by eating other bugs. BUT I don't like them in my house. So once a month I stand in what I think is the middle of my house and verbally warn any spiders in my house that they are welcome to stay but can not come and out and be seen. If seen, I will send the husband to kill you (one of my main reasons for getting married, full time bug killer ;) ). I do this for bees as well. But I yell at them outside. They don't listen as well as the spiders. I see them all the time. And I never kill them because I am usually … [Read more...]
