Wow, my financial blogs started going crazy this afternoonw the news that the Fed cut rates… not just a quarter or a half – they basically cut them down to ZERO. Funny blog from Barrons here with cute snarky comments. The long term rates still seem to be having problems and from what I understand, [...]
I went and picked up G this morning (330) and he was sooo hot. Usually his hands are little icicles. I nursed him and he went back to sleep but in the morning he was still warm. 100.5, poor guy. He was coughing and congested too. He stayed pretty blah the whole day. He got [...]
Preheat over to 350 degrees Take a pear (or more pears!) and cut it in half. Take the seed out. Put both, side up, in a baking dish. Add half an inch of water. Sprinkle some cinnamon on top. Bake for 20 minutes, or until lightly browned. Courtesy of Krysta! G will put cords, paper, [...]
It’s so relieving to have almost all my Christmas shopping done. It never seems to get ALL the way done though. There is always ‘one last thing’, family present, cookies to make, or a gathering that is so far PAST Christmas that you feel safe waiting until the last minute to buy THAT present and [...]
Tonight we went to see a play at Light of the Canyon Church. It was actually my step-father in law’s play that he wrote AND acted in! It was so awesome! I loved watching it. Before we went, we decided to go out to dinner. We drove to Coco’s since it was right next to [...]
Sam did not take her nap today. Actually, neither did G. They both thought that snoozing (briefly) in the car on the way home from Krysta’s was their nap. They were wrong, but whatever. Early bedtime for them! Sam did have quiet time in her room and after an hour when she started calling my [...]
We went to Disneyland on Wednesday. We were going to go on Tuesday on Sam’s bday but luckily… LUCKILY, J checked the website and we found out it closed at 6pm. That would have been fun. NOT! So we went the next day instead. It was really classic, he came home at 4pm and they [...]
I have been a loyal customer of Amazon for quite some time. I signed up for their Amazon Prime when it first came out. (If you need items QUICK for Christmas, you should sign up for it as well – 2 day shipping! – and then you can cancel after the first month if you [...]
It’s Sammie’s THIRD BIRTHDAY today! I can’t believe my baby is 3. She is so adult now but I have to catch myself remembering that she is still a baby. My baby! She has huge conversations with us, wants to always know what we are talking about, is starting to tell jokes, and always saying [...]
I’m donating two swings and an infant carseat to Goodwill tomorrow unless someone comments/emails me that they want them! I kept meaning to list them on Craigslist and sell them but I finally said, what am I DOING? I can just give them to someone who desperately needs them this Christmas and get them out [...]
Sam’s 3rd Birthday Party was held yesterday. I can’t believe my baby is going to be three years old TOMORROW. Wow. Anyway, she did fabulous. She had a great time. Pump it Up is an amazing place to hold a kids party. They do EVERYTHING. They even write down all the gifts and who brought [...]
We went to see Santa, pretty much randomly… We were going to lunch and then Santa was there and we got Sam on his lap! Amazing! Anyway, G kinda freaked that I was walking away from him but Sam has a big smile on her face so we went with this picture, LOL
For October, I lost 1 lb… The last week was J’s bday and Halloween so we were eating out every night. Whew. I had gone down 2.5 but on November 1st, it was only 1 pound lost and it stayed that way for the next two weeks!! But for November I did a little better [...]
I’m thinking I need a little Britney for my birthday in April… LOL – Honda Center, yea! Krysta confirmed that Brooke is flying down for it too! Who is with us!? Oh, and PCD is opening for her… and um, I totally know the new tour manager for them… Maybe she can get us a [...]
