Is Jeopardy Over Yet?
It’s 8:33pm and I’m already in bed. After spending four exhausting hours chasing a 2 year old around a science museum and looking for Dora (read: Hell), I don’t even care to stay awake to watch tv (!!!!!!!!). What is happening? Is this when it all goes downhill? I don’t even have the energy to stay up and eat ice cream. The horror!!!
In other news, tomorrow is Thursday so the week is more than half over. Thank you sweet Jesus.
Can someone dvr Modern Family for me? I’m too lazy to find the remote before I pass out.
Love you, mean it…

Abusive Relationship
This morning, while trying to fit his itty bitty sunglasses on my grown-up sized melon, my kid accidentally (so he claims) let go of one of the sides causing it to snap back directly into my eyeball. I now have a swollen eyelid. Terrific.
That’s how my Monday is going…How about you?…
Love you, mean it…

Simplicity (otherwise known as Potatoes and Eggs)
Here is a meal that my grandmother made for me time and again during my childhood. Potatoes and eggs with a handful of frozen peas thrown in. Three simple ingredients that are always around the house become just the perfect … Continue reading
Robin’s Egg Easter Nails
I truly believe that nails should be fun and (unless you are on your way to a funeral or a job interview) you never need to have dull digits. Lately I’ve been all about crazy nails and multi colored manis. … Continue reading
