I have an online business which started quite by accident. I had an idea, I put it out there, it sold well, and then I had a business…well, what I did not have was a background in accounting, an accountant, accounting software…or any idea where to start with all of that. About 2 years into [...]

I made dough, out of spelt flour, and used pasta sauce I made earlier in the week, topped with homemade Mozzarella! YUMMM! While this is moderately exciting, anyway, the fact that I made all the components myself, is amazing. I do not, as a general rule, cook.
A little background, if you’re interested: My husband and [...]

One of the things I learned while reading AVM was that you can make Mozzarella (many cheeses, actually) in your own kitchen, in only 1/2 an hour, with 1 gallon of milk. So when I was placing my meat pre-order at the farm the other day, I also got a gallon of Milk. [...]

Yes, I slept all day, trying to feel better. It didn’t work, going to go try again.
Hopefully the news tomorrow will be more fun!

Well, I’m still sick. I have been sleeping for about 2-3 hours every 2-3 hours. Yuck! I did manage to finish the first sock last night between 4am and 6am during one of my wakeful times. That is one of the most annoying things about being sick, when you sleep a lot, you are up [...]

I woke up this morning feeling lousy and the situation has not improved. I have now added a fever to the runny nose, soarish throat, sinus headache and pathetic, wimpy cough. My two hour nap did nothing…well, okay it probably did something, but not enough for bragging, that’s for sure.
I did have a bright point [...]

I finished the tricky part of the Cranky Pants look-a-like pants I’m making for my friend Sara. I have had a HUGE amount of help from Kim, who teaches the knitting class I’ve been attending on Monday evenings…the last one today, until next session, so I’m glad we figured out what looked good and [...]
It’s going to look GREAT! February 18, 2008

I have been working on refinishing a piece of furniture for the baby’s room. It came from my Grandmother’s house. I don’t know the story behind it. It was bright yellow when I got it, which I liked but the paint had some serious stains on it, so I needed to paint. I went the [...]

Today was the baby’s check up at Shriner’s. It was a nice trip, for once. She slept down and back, and for the few moments of consciousness each way, she was drinking, so still quiet. There were no tears in the Clinic, as her hands are healed. Mind you, they still have a ways to [...]
