Yes, I’m on a new food quest. This time, I’m looking for the perfect glass of chocolate milk. Not hot chocolate, mind you (that will come next winter, I’m sure), but cold chocolate milk. About a month ago, I developed a craving for chocolate milk. I figure there are worse things I could crave, so…
Heather recently posted about things we don’t want to do, and quite a few replied that shopping for clothes fits neatly under this category. I’m going to expand on this theme and add that shopping for evening gowns definitely, undeniably, irrefutably stinks. I have to get one by the end of the month, and holy…
I have decided that I am going to learn how to knit. I knew once upon a time, years ago, but I’ve since forgotten. My mom’s co-worker is going to cast me on and teach me tomorrow. The reason I’m learning is because I have trichotillomania, an anxiety disorder similar to OCD that makes you…
I’ve been careful for years about the types of cleaning products I use. My care wasn’t prompted by concerns for the environment, but by the skin and breathing reactions I have to harsh cleaning products. Over the past few years I’ve used a series of “green” cleaning products that haven’t bothered either my skin or…
Summer is unofficially over for me today. While the kids and I go back to school today, amidst 90 degree temperatures I might add, I have to wonder what happened to the days of going back to school after Labor Day. Does anyone even do that anymore? Now is the time of year when we have to give…
Spring, autumn, winter, all of them have their special joys for me. I love seeing the new growth of flowers, the changing colors, the stark beauty of bare trees and snow. However, I have to confess that summer is a tough one. Maybe it’s the red hair and pale skin with affinity to 10,000 SPF…
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsD0NpFSADM A week or two ago, I saw (500) Days of Summer with some friends. It is the ultimate hipster-indie-rom com. Of course, quite firmly they insist (and accurately so), “This is not a love story. It is a story about love.” The story follows a young man who falls desperately in love with Summer,…
After spending part of my weekend hanging out with some major Star Wars fans (light saber battles after dinner, anyone?), I couldn’t resist rewatching the Chad Vader series online. You can get started with Episode 1 below. Enjoy! [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wGR4-SeuJ0 -Lynn Spencer
Following up on Sandy’s summer TV theme, this summer I’ve watched several different cooking competition shows, and have enjoyed them in varying amounts. Top Chef Masters.This is an interesting variation on Bravo’s regular Top Chef. Instead of aspiring chefs, this features famous chefs squaring off against each other. Now we’re talking James Beard winners, owners…
After the madness and nonstop action of RWA, it’s veg out time for me! Good thing a few of my favorite TV series (and guilty pleasures) are providing some excellent fodder for down time! Could there have been a better time for Toddlers & Tiaras to make a reappearance? Surely not, sister. I love pursing…
