Come see!

Well, yesterday I accomplished pretty much nothing on my list of things I supposedly want to do. I went grocery shopping in the a.m. and cooked most of the rest of the day. I'm not beating myself up over it; it's more of a "WHY are there only twenty-four hours in a day?" sort of thing. Or "WHY do I have to sleep EIGHT HOURS out of every twenty-four ( Read more... )

If I were organized and efficient, this is what I'd want to accomplish every day.

I'd like to wake up at 9:00. This means I would need to start going to bed around 1:00. I don't generally need a full eight hours, but I need about seven-and-a-half. I would stumble into the bathroom and brush my teeth and not exit the bedroom until the bed is made. (I ( Read more... )

My arthritis focus is usually on my knees. It's most noticeable there because I limp or can't do something and you know something's up. I can tell that things have been a lot better but there's always a problem with my knees, so I never know how much I've really improved. Well -- now I think I know ( Read more... )

I've -- gasp!!! -- started exercising. I've been thinking about it for a while, but you know how it goes. You can think about exercising for a very long time without actually doing anything about it. The scale has been inching down, though, and I figured I'd help it along. Plus, I'm in awful shape. Might as well kill two birds with one stone.

My recipes today are all fast. Now -- I made them all, so I spent a fair amount of time in the kitchen, but if I'd just made one or two it would not have been bad. I think the fast way to have vegetables for supper when they're not a major part of the main dish is to just have a salad. Anyway, on to the reviews...

I've got my first dish that I rate one star -- and that's only because it's within the bounds of what might be considered "edible." Bruce gives it three stars, but he's being generous. I've been thinking about it all day and I wonder if cooking them longer would have made a difference. Anyway -- it is my first attempt at vegan cookies. These are ( Read more... )

This next dish requires some 'splainin'.

I get tired of picking out what to make all the time. I worry (unnecessarily, I know, because he eats everything) that Bruce will be bored with what I choose (because I choose things that are to MY taste, obviously). So I gave him a cookbook (Vegan with a Vengeance) and told him to pick something. He ended up ( Read more... )

I kid, I kid. Sort of. Weddings are a nightmare unless you can afford to hire enough people to do EVERYTHING for you. I hired a ton of people (and have the empty bank account to prove it), but we still had to do a lot. Today I finally finished laundering the 8,153 tablecloths that we borrowed from the church; we still have to take them back. And I ( Read more... )
