Forget football….

January 15, 2013 by Peabody · 16 Comments

The Seahawks lost. I only care because my friend M cares otherwise it’s football. Anyway so no Seahawk Super Bowl for us. For some bizarre reason I equate the Super Bowl with Snickers. Odd yes I know. I think when I was a little kid Snickers must have had good commercial or something. Now on to the important sport…hockey. It’s back. Some of you didn’t even know it was gone. But it was. It starts back on Saturday for those who are interested (raises hand). Figured out what to do for MDP’s birthday…it’s a good one. This week I have more things than time. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! Hangs head in shame…the fun sized Peanut Butter Snickers used in these are from Halloween. They are still fresh. I’m mostly just ashamed that I have Halloween candy left…normally that never happens. I’m slipping in my old age. :) … [Read more...]

Just Roll with it Baby…

I originally wasn’t going to post today. There was a large group of bloggers who were going to show support to Sandy Hook Elementary and the town of Newtown Connecticut and not post today. Well they were going to post that they weren’t going to post…which is a post in itself if you think about it. I thought long and hard about whether to post or not. I’m quite sure you all could have gone a day without this Shortbread Roll-Out Sugar Cookie recipe but that isn’t the point. While there are simply no words to express about the tragedy that occurred on 12/14 (perhaps that’s why it’s best to just not blog) I feel for me personally that I must appreciate that fact that I am still here. My family is still here. And it thankfully did not happen in my community. And therefore to go on with my daily life including running a blog. That doesn’t mean I don’t think about it. As a former elementary school teacher I could not help but think of the faces of my students all this … [Read more...]

Fat and Happy…

December 10, 2012 by Peabody · 13 Comments

So you may recall years back my rabbit had a problem with his eye (in fact back then we focused so much on the eye we thought she was a girl like they told us). Anyway a few months back the eye started getting much worse and it spread through the eye quickly. Last time it cost $1000. I simply don’t have that this time to try and save the bunny. Heck I don’t have a $100 to save the rabbit at this point. So I figured he would start to lose his appetite as the eye was progressing quickly and probably die in a few weeks. We told the kids that Little Fuzzy Bunny was probably going to the great carrot patch in the sky and that was okay because he lived a full life. And my theory was if he is going out why not go out fat and happy? So I fed him. And fed him. And fed him. He still is more than alive. He never has lost his appetite and he has double in size. Oops. But he is happy. He is one happy rabbit. :) And amazingly still alive. I often think if I only had a few weeks to live … [Read more...]
