Auntie!
My baby sister had a baby girl late Tuesday night! I am very excited, even if she does live in Phoenix. I will be going to visit at the end of February. I am excited, because dh and I have made everyone else in our families aunts and uncles, but this is the first time we get to be ones. And finally, my kids have a cousin! Albeit a much younger ( Read more... ) -
Finally, fruits of my labor revealed
Well, I finally sat down and messed with my photos of my springerle. Six may not really tell the story of the nearly 300 cookies I baked this Christmas season. Here's the first one to wow:

A bit long since last post
My in-laws did not visit this weekend. I felt much better, except for a cold. They will not come if people in our house are sick. So dd and I both had icky colds and dh called them and they decided not to come. I felt much better they didn't. And now we know what will keep them away. Everyone in the house, just be sick.

Fabric shopping rocks!
Score! Even though we were shopping for the site. If you haven't made it to a JoAnn's superstore recently, you need to. Almost all of their quilt prints are $1 off including vintage prints and we found they have a huge selection of cotton solids now (it's been a while since I've been looking for solids, so if they've been there for a while, ( Read more... ) -
Fabric shopping, anyone?
So my period clothing coordinator at my site sends me an email with the subject "fabric'. You know I'm going to open that one! And lo and behold, she wants to get some shopping done for our 1910s outfits and would I like to come along?
Hell yeah!
Since I spend more of my time working on staffing issues, training issues, and staff evaluation issues ( Read more... ) -
The holidays are over
I am so tired of sickness. Guess what?! My dh came down with some nasty cold, influenza like thing yesterday. Fever, chills, aches. Today, he's feeling much better. WTH? We are tired of sick people, especially me. I was supposed to go to work today, but I am staying and taking him to the doctor. If it is flu and we don't have our flu shots ( Read more... ) -
Happy Holidays!
Though I'd update my page to match the season. I am not yet well enough, but I will be making more springerle. Count that, three batches and with 91 out of the last group, there's no telling where'll I'll go next! Did I mention that I brushed on very dark chocolate on some of the orange flavored ones. OMG! That is heaven! Of course, that all ( Read more... ) -
I hate acute gastrointestinitis
Dear daughter shared very nicely. Her stomach flu, that is. DH got it in the middle of the week last week. I stayed home to take care of him and dd, and then I got it Friday, as did ds, though he only got a high fever and slept a lot. I'll say this, I hate the toilet, I hate the norovirus, and I hate being sick. Lost a whole holiday weekend ( Read more... ) -
Yeah, never mind that confused
Well, questioned answered. A job, that I applied for not so long ago, which, potentially could have opened up, because through the grapevine, well, you just hear stuff in the museum field, especially living history (we all say it is very incestuous), the person who got that position is leaving. But, it seems that the place it was at is going to ( Read more... ) -
In case you were wondering...
I made 91 (!) cookies out of that last batch of springerle. I didn't count until this morning. Boy was I surprised. No wonder it took me 1 1/2 hours to roll, press, cut and spread out to dry. Well, I guess 1 1/2 hours doesn't seem so bad now.
The confused feeling is due to some news that could change my family's life, yet again, one more time, ( Read more... )
