Hey there! Come on in, shake off your umbrella (we would have rain here on a party night), wipe your feet on the very-cute "Wipe Your Paws" mat, and welcome to Blog Party#14!! Tonight, it's all about the kids. It'll be loud and hot and crazy, but we'll just let the little ones run around while we,...
Today is the last day of voting so if you haven’t yet done so, get yourself over to Culinate and enter the Death by Chocolate contest to win a trip for 2 to Napa Valley and then vote for me so that I can meet you there! Just click on the pretty chocolate button. Once you’ve done that, come on...
I was tagged by Linda of Kayak Soup for the food meme that's been making the blog rounds: 5 things to eat before you die. Melissa at the Traveller's Lunchbox notes that the five items "should definitely be things you know and love and couldn't imagine not having tasted". Just five things?! Well, it...
As I get older, I realize I am made of many different parts. Here are some of the pieces of me. You see that guy walking through the grocery store making funny noises and faces at his infant son. He is absolutely oblivious to the fact that he looks like an idiot. Mainly because all he cares about is...
Oh I love Stephen Colbert! You too can make your own personalized "On Notice" boards. It's been a busy week here at Sandwich HQ. Not only have I been working outside the home during the day, but I've been having loads of adventures around town in the evenings. There hasn't been much time for cooking...
What happens to the food I make that doesn't turn out well? Let's get real, shall we? Not everything is exactly edible and picture perfect (OK, my photos are on the not-so-good side even if the food is good, I admit), and it feels like a confession sort of day so, here we are. These first two don't...
...Gus exited the womb and entered this wild world. Wow! Okay, okay enough with the overkill of "W" alliteration. Has it really been a month? Gus is such an easy baby--knock on wood. Man, if he would have my first, I probably would've wanted 10 more! Just kidding. But really, he's very sweet and...
MYO veggie Tacos with the kids tonight. J is at a hockey cocktail party that I luckily begged off. He likes those people more than I do anyway. I was on the phone with my non-cousin Jamie a few days ago listening to her tales of customer service woe and was silently thankful that it has been so long...
here's some stories i'm never EVER going to finish... mainly because i started them, then lost the will and inspiration to work on them again. then i got all caught up in what i DID write and put out (Reclaimation) that i didn't care about these anymore. if you like any of them, comment and let me...
1. What's the connection between you and the last person that called you? he's my boyfriend. 2. Do you ever turn your cell phone off? no, but its recently been turning itself off on occasion. 3. What happened at 3:00 pm today? i was writing a paper. 4. When did you last cry? this morning. 6. What do...
I mean, are those players programmed to only accept Disney fare? The laser-eye scanning for the proper encryption code that says “naughty” or “nice”. What circumstances do you so badly need to watch porn in your car anyway? From the backseat even. Are you one of those swinging couples that...
Friday, Cindy came by for a visit. I met her ten or so years ago, when I was at BankWorks. She was President of Adeo then, an Internet company that developed Web-based applications for companies like Nissan. She also taught seminars on "Writing for the Web". It was from Cindy that I got the idea...
I feel like such a cop-out; I haven't been able to post anything real in such a long time. But as of yesterday, I've come down with...something. It's a bit of a combination of what's been going around. I don't know if it's properly the flu, since I only have a low fever (99.something) but I also...
Amtrack and Greyhound is the solution to the expensive flights, fuel charges, and my family's lack of money. This solution was suggested by close family friends, otherwise known as the Rich People. Simon and Mariko have been friends with my parents since way before I was born. They're surprisingly...
My little guy Jackson loves Veggie Tales. He pronounces it "tay-whoas." When he wakes up in the morning, he either says "mommy," or "tay-whoas." We only have one episode, so we get to watch the "Lyle the Kindly Viking" episode approximately once a day.Once I had all of the songs and dialogue...
So, my 3 year old is watching some veggie tale videos on you tube with my husband (Geeky), and he started talking about the old cartoons we used to watch as kids.....so he put on this video montage of a BUNCH of shows that we used to watch in the 80's (things like He-man and She-ra, duck tales, the...
Now doesn't that sound fun?? Standard deviation. The concept of the night, fascinating I tell you. I started back to college last night. The long and short of it is this: 4 weeks, 4 nights a week, 2.5 hours a night...2 nights down and 14 to go! We have a quiz every class period....EEK!! So why am I...
Obama needs to stop going to church. Televangelists were invented for this exact situation. You get to have church from the comfort of your own couch. Watch a Creflo Dollar program. Maybe a little TD Jakes. Mix in a little health and wealth gospel from Joel Olsteen. Throw in a Veggie Tales tape for...
To be completed by those ADULTS out of high school. Tired of all of those surveys made up by high school kids? 'Have you ever kissed someone?' 'Missed someone?' 'Told someone you loved them?' 'Drank alcohol?' Here are some questions for the people who are a little more mature... as if posting these...
Since I've found another productive way to put my Obama obsession into action through our volunteer program, one topic that I will start focusing on here will be all things oil: geopolitics, conservation and alternative energy (namely, the cottage veggie oil industry I've been learning about for the...
