Spring Snowstorm
When I woke up this morning and looked out the window, I thought, “gosh, that looks like awfully solid rain…”
So, I am not, after all, a lazy gardener for not cleaning out my beds and putting in annuals yet. I’m just psychic!

Earth Day Planting
To make up for having to take down our trees, Carrie and I planted the beginnings of a garden today. Beans, cucumbers, peppers and tomatoes, zinnias, marigolds and parsley. Including the sunflower Carrie planted at the PTA’s Earth Day fair last week, we will have a lot of new growing things to take [...]

Empty Space
We had to let go of a couple of old friends today. The two giant evergreen trees next to our driveway were not in good shape – one was already completely dead, and the other was in the advanced stages of the same disease. As much as I knew the responsible thing to [...]

Ice Skating
Carrie passed Snowplow 1 and I passed Basic 1 and 2! :)
We’ll be taking a break during the warmer weather, though. As much as I’d like to move on to Basic 3 and learn how to spin (haha) it just seems a little odd to put on winter coats and skate on top [...]

Bathroom Re-Do
Finally, nearly two years after we had the bathtub replaced, I’ve gotten around to redecorating the room. Carrie wanted a pink bathroom, and I found an awesome pink, white and chocolate brown striped shower curtain, so we went with pink.
I’m not 100% thrilled with my painting job, but I am thrilled with overall effect. [...]

It’s warm. And snowmen don’t like warm so much…this picture was taken shortly before our snowman lost his head. Poor snowman!

Snowmageddon, 2010
They’re predicting over a foot of snow in the next 24 hours or so. Normally I’d scoff at this (I mean, it’s Rochester, and February, of course there’s going to be snow) but I’ve been stuck in the house with a sick child for three days and there is no milk or bread left. [...]

Never Enough Time
I don’t really know where the time goes. Somehow it’s been over a month since I published all of my blog posts, and I really don’t know how or why. I thought I’d have so much more time after Carrie started school, but in reality I somehow have less time. And I have so many [...]

Happy New Year!
Be it hereby resolved that:
1. I will finish more projects than I start this year. And “finish” can mean actually completing the project, ripping it out, or dropping the half finished parts off to Craft Bits & Pieces.
2. I will declutter my house. I am tired of living with all of this stuff. If someone [...]

The Princess and the Frog
Carrie and I went to see the new Disney movie this afternoon. It was really good, and Carrie did very well even with the scary bits. I like how this Disney Princess was not waiting around for Prince Charming to make her life better and instead was working hard to try to make her dreams [...]
