Needed…

Posted on April 30, 2009 by Carrie

One foam Cheesehead, preferably for $10 or less. The marathon has a special starting corral for folks wearing them, and while I’d like to do that, I don’t intend to wear it for much past the starting line. I have … Continue reading →

Wouldn’t be me without a food post

Posted on April 29, 2009 by Carrie

So I made steel-cut oats in the crockpot for this morning, complete with raisins, and they were delicious. Even Sam enjoyed a bowl, which he topped with more dried fruit and a banana. But there were a ton leftover, since … Continue reading →

Aggravated

Posted on April 28, 2009 by Carrie

Sam’s going through this phase (hopefully) right now where nothing is his fault. Hit his brother? “But he tempted me!” Got caught jumping from from furniture after being told not to? “Gabe tricked me into it!” Argh. I’ve talked and … Continue reading →

Nifty

Posted on April 27, 2009 by Carrie

No brain left for titles

Posted on April 24, 2009 by Carrie

Two parts flattered, one part irritated

Posted on April 22, 2009 by Carrie

Today at Sam’s Club, the cashier didn’t want to take my member card. “This looks nothing like you,” she said. “Ha-ha,” I said, but she wasn’t joking. She wanted another form or identification. So I gave her my driver’s license…the … Continue reading →

Tapering sucks, but I’m still alive

Posted on April 21, 2009 by Carrie
