I mentioned a couple of posts ago that I made some cupcakes 2 weekends ago, which I realized later was the 4th new kind of cupcake I had made. So, this past weekend had to include cupcakes so I could finish up this goal. Clearly. That makes sense to you, right? Of course it does, […]
Continue Reading... 2 Comments.The list. Oh the list. I try not to be obsessed with it, but when I review it sometimes or go to check something off, I occasionally get a bit anxious. Then I remember that it’s not a real thing, no one is monitoring this, except me. However, all that aside, it’s also super satisfying […]
Continue Reading... 3 Comments.A couple of months ago, my friend Dana called me and told me that she had recently learned that she had 10 (!) vacation days that would disappear at the end of June if she did not use them. Ignoring the fact that I don’t think vacation days having an expiration date is a very […]

Europe and Asia – check. I’ve […]
Continue Reading... 2 Comments.A little while ago, my mom asked me how I was doing on my list. And I felt like I had been doing OK, crossing some items off completely, and making some progress on others. But when I checked to see how many days I have left, I may or may not have freaked out. […]

Before we did this walk, we’d never been to this specific neighborhood. I’m going to guess that it’s because it’s on the top of a big hill. But since I went ahead and wrote […]
Continue Reading... 1 Comment.Everytime we go pick up our CSA box, we get a newsletter along with it. It tells us what is in our box for that week, what the vegetables are, how to store them, and some recipes for how to use them (which has been handy). The second time we picked up our load of […]
