Forgive the late notice please, I'm brain-fried!

Party at the Blais Homestead on Saturday, starting about 4pm! Priciple of Associative Coolness applies (you bring 'em, you're responsible for 'em!). Babies and children welcome.

It's BYOB or side dish pretty please!

Hope to see you then!

Would you buy dressed quail at $3 apiece? How many would you buy on a regular basis?

BTW: dressed means butchered and packaged, NOT wearing little clothes. Just sayin' because I *know* someone would make a crack.

I'm tossing around the idea of raising them, but I really want to gauge interest before committing to it. Thanks ya'll!

Hard to believe that Lilli's almost four months old! Technically, week-wise, she already is, but the stupid standard of counting by month means she's two weeks away. Anyways, she's wonderfully plump and happy, thriving on mama's home cooking :) I am careful to count my blessings, we really are lucky folks ( Read more... )

What the hell is with JoAnn Fabrics?? They have, I shit you not, 770 kinds of fleece.

Every. Fleece. Known. to. Man.

And yet, wool? None.

Went for a lovely run on Sunday morning, and again yesterday evening. ahhhhhhhhhh ( Read more... )

Our new chicks have arrived! Sadly, the idiots at the post office let them sit there for three days before calling me, so we're getting some casulities. Six dead overnight, and one more on the way out. I wouldn't be surprised if more die, they were very stressed out ( Read more... )

I've dived head first into the big project of the spring - re-sewing the canvas to the yurt-vilion ( Read more... )

So very tired. Lilli's reverted back to her newborn schedule this week, waking every two hours at night to nurse. This actually wasn't too bad when I was on leave. But now that I have to be awake at a specific time and mentally functioning for work, it's rough. I've got these scary dark circles under my eyes that coverup won't cover ( Read more... )

I'm finally running on a fairly normal schedule! It's hard to carve out the time for it, but I always feel amazing and rejuvinated afterwards! We kinda tossed out the original C25k schedule in favor of doing longer intervals every time. Works for me. We're following it in principle - gradually working up intervals over a long period of time. ( Read more... )

I heat up the water for my "mother's milk" tea, and I've got my water mason jar in the other hand. I walk back into the office by pushing the door open with my shoulder. I bump my mug and hot water starts splashing over my hand....I'm saying OW OW OW OW!!

The maintenance lady looks at me and says....

"Is it hot?"
