Random Acts of Spring

First Asparagus Picking

Well, it’s here.

Or at least we think it’s here. (Spring.)

Based on the air quality today, however, my guess would be that we pretty much are skipping Spring and heading straight to Humidity. After a long winter, I’ll try my best not to complain.

It’s just that my hair is…

It’s just that my [...]

    Is it Monday?

    backwards!

    The reason I ask is because I just realized my underwear is on backwards.

    That’s really all I wanted to say.

    It’s probably too much information, but then, doesn’t that describe just about every post I’ve ever written? Maybe you will read this and know that there is at least one person out in [...]

      Tired of the Eggroll Post Yet?

      suburban in garage

      What an amazing discovery. All these amazingly cool and nice people read the stupid stuff I write. They actually cook some of the recipes I post. It’s utterly baffling.

      And wonderfully flattering.

      And very guilt provoking when I’m not timely at updating.

      And terribly frightening. What horrible things have I written about again? Good thing [...]

        Good Old Fashioned Egg Rolls

        OMG. sooo yummy

        Like the kind you remember from when you were a kid

        When I go out now, I like to order fresh spring rolls or vietnamese style egg rolls. Because, is it me, or does it seem like when you order regular old egg rolls these days, they aren’t as good as they used to [...]

          Epic Vail

          Yes, even the reluctant skier was game for the cliff

          I’m only updating this from Vail because

          I can. (thank you macbook air!) my dear friend Pam’s daughter asked me to, stating, she is “tired of looking the bladder thing” i realized she is right i got such funny photos today, I had to share.

          So on with the show.

          First, understand that skiing for [...]

            I’m Re-Training My Bladder

            no, I'm not going to post a picture of me with my legs crossed. sorry.

            Yep. You read that right.

            I’m re-training my bladder.

            I had my annual check up a few months back and was told by my darling 30-ish nurse practitioner, Kristen, that — not to worry! –my little problem was a simple matter of re-training my bladder.

            Like my naughty German Shorthair, Lola, it seems I [...]

              The Kid’s Cook Monday! Morgan Take Three

              Chicken Fried Steak with gravy and brown rice

              It’s pretty obvious: Morgan has embraced The Kid’s Cook Monday thing more than her sibling. But that’s OK, right? As long as I get him in the rotation every other time or so? Honestly, I just don’t have the energy to argue. If Morgan, who lives vicariously through thepioneerwoman.com, wants to make Chicken Fried [...]

                How I solved my Macbook Air battery problem

                my new friend

                Just a quickie to let you know — if you didn’t already — how brilliant I am.

                I made an appointment at the genius bar to bring my new Macbook Air in to have the battery looked at, since I couldn’t seem to squeeze more than a couple hours out of it.

                I’d googled “Macbook [...]

                  Why the MacBook Air is the “Tablet” for Me!

                  my new friend

                  Crazy times call for crazy measures.

                  I bought an 11″ Macbook Air last week. I just did it. I researched and backed away. I made the rational decision to “wait.” Then I went back to work.

                  Then, before I could stop myself, I was researching some more…

                    No, I did not get a flu shot

                    sick face

                    There. Now stop asking me!

                    Yes, I have the flu. Thankfully it is not the barfy variety. Or the other kind either. It’s just the symptoms in the middle: fever, chills, body aches and massive, massive, unrelenting headache.

                    I got it approximately 20 hours after getting home from skiing in Colorado. And I am [...]
