10 on Tuesday

-

1) I am going to join my friend Connie and many more tomorrow for an 8-hour phone/computer fast.   So from 8am – 4pm tomorrow I am going to be completely offline!  Wish me luck!! Smile 

2) Eli’s “paci” disappeared for real on Sunday.  It needed to happen but we didn’t plan it…we just can’t find it!  I am desperate to find it before he does because he has done pretty well without it the past couple nights and I don’t want him to have it back.  I know it’s in the house…but where??? 

3) Speaking of Eli, he can be a real pain in the nose sometimes.  Literally.

He’s been known to bite his sister (and parents) sometimes….but ON THE NOSE?  Ouch! 

4)We had a run of summer weather but it is back to the clouds today…..kindergarten starts in 1 week, 2 days, and 23 hours.

Not that I’m counting.

5) My cousin Nicole is most likely moving to Crete or Florence to further her education and cultural experiences.  I am so excited for her, what an adventure!

6) We are heading to Eastern Washington this weekend to visit my Grandma and Aunt’s and Uncles  (Nicole would normally be there too but she decided to leave to see some friends – boo! Smile) 

Also, Mickey is participating in his last triathlon of the season and it’s a doozy – approx. 1 mile swim, 25 mile bike ride, and lastly a 6 mile run.  I’m worn out just reading that. 

7) We had a garage sale this past Saturday.  Fun and successful and something we are so totally NOT going to do again (even though we had plenty of helpers!).

8) I’m on a break this week from my normal 3-morning a week boot camp workout.  BUT my friend Ellen (who has a fabulous vegan food blog) talked me into going to her workout with her a few times this week, which also involves getting up before there is a “5” on my clock.  Makes for early mornings but I get. it. done.  One of these days I’ll do a post about my workouts – they are intense!

9)  Movie night tonight – I’m making Rolo pretzel cookies.  Easy to make – put a Rolo (unwrapped of course) on top of a pretzel (on a cookie sheet lined with parchment) until you fill the sheet (or run out)…bake at 350 for about 5 minutes then take them out and smoosh another pretzel on top.  Let cool – and try not to scarf them all down. 

10) Wishing you all a fabulous Tuesday!!

Yummmmy, rolo pretzels. Sounds so good!

Poor Hannah's nose. At least when he had paci he wasn't biting. Or maybe he took it out for that.

I will try to remember not to text you. Except for work, I'm not on the computer much on weekdays!

Ouch indeed! Yes, garage sales are extremely tiring. We have been saving things so we can have another one but I'm dreading it. I don't hate setting it all up or getting everything out. I don't hate sitting there all day either. But I absolutely hate talking to the customers. That sounds horrible, right? I know. I hate that I hate it, too. Glad your sale was a good one and that it's over!

You my dear rock with your work outs! I've made those pretzel's with hersey kisses and then a m&m on top of that :)

Garage sales are A LOT of work, and I only do them when we are about to move. We always do real well, but that's because I put in a solid week of prep work first! (ugh!)

Owie on the nose!! Not nice, Eli!

Such a good girl on the workouts! I'm be right there joining you soon...but not yet, lol!

No 'puter time??? What will you DO???

Oh, a bite on the nose would hurt! But, when they're so cute it's hard to be mad too long. And I'm going to have to make those rolo pretzel cookies. Enjoy your fast!

Champ

We met you in May of 2004 at the Humane Society. You were the only dog who could have cared less that there were humans walking around.  While all the other dogs barked and barked at us, you lay on the floor curled up and awake, yet quiet and uninterested.  We almost passed you by but after mentioning you to one of the employees they said you were a good boy and that we should take you out for a walk.  Once outside you perked right up and wanted to sniff everything and explore and didn't seem at all like the dog you were inside.  We were hooked. We agreed to take you home and took care of the necessary arrangements.  Your name was Champ because the Humane Society had picked you up on the side of the road, very injured in what they assumed was a fight with another dog.  We were told you were maybe two years old at most.  The Humane Society fixed you up and you healed like a, well, like a champ.  We decided to rename you Baxter. We brought you h...

I’m more than just a stay at home mom.  I read. (see, the stack has grown since last time I showed this picture) I watch television. I exercise. I floss every day.  I go out with girlfriends. I spend time with my husband. I pay attention to current events.  I enjoy cooking. I enjoy drinking wine. I enjoy cooking while drinking wine.  I love trivia games. And Boggle. I make sure most of the food we have in our house is healthy. I love music. I am silly. I am serious. I DON’T like to be scared (meaning that my husband really needs to let me know when he comes home unannounced in the middle of the day and just lets me come downstairs to find him standing there staring at me like a criminal because for a split second I was sure he had just broken in  and that is the ONLY reason I screamed bloody murder and about lost my lunch before realizing who it really was). I am anxious. I am focused. I like schedules and routines. ...

Except Death and Taxes and School Pick Up Problems

Dear you, Hi there! We haven't met so I thought I would introduce myself.  I am a mom of two, a fifth and a third grader, at the school our kids attend.  You might recognize my car, as you drive by it nearly every day when you pass me (and plenty other parents) 10 minutes before school gets out to park at the very front of the pick up line. In a spot that is not a spot. Genius!  I mean why should you get to school early like many of us other parents do and park appropriately in the pick up lane when you can just come nearly at the last minute, go around a line of 30 vehicles, and park in a spot that is not a spot? Why didn't I think of that? You probably have special circumstances.  I'm sure you think that NOBODY else in the pick up lane,  many of whom have been sitting there waiting for 30-45 minutes have ANYTHING better that they could be doing with their time. I especially loved the day that you were parked there and ran over to grab your child and...
