Have you ever felt like a big blob before? Right now all I feel like doing is sitting down and doing NOTHING! But I need to clean my house, do some laundry, plant some fruit trees and bushes and probably post another blog w/pics about my square foot gardening venture. So, because [...]

On Saturday morning I got on Craig’s List and searched for blueberry, in hopes of finding someone who was trying to sell blueberry bushes for a decent price. I was successful and was happy to find that they also sold fruit trees and other berry bushes.
So we drove an hour north and [...]
Frog!

We were eating dinner tonight and I noticed that Liam wasn’t eating his food. I told him to eat, but he looked at me quizzically. He said “FROG!” At first I was wondering why he would say that until I realized that he had the hiccups! Just a little [...]

Daisy, our Great Pyrenees-Old English Sheepdog mix, is now one! She has been better about jumping on the kids lately, although she’s a big klutz. She knocked over our neighbor accidently the other day. She’s actually getting where I enjoy being around her. I was wondering for awhile…. Because of her [...]

Another week. Another pound! Yeah!!! 36 more pounds to go to get to 150. Although I wish I would get thin ALREADY, I would rather lose this weight gradually. It stays off better this way.
I didn’t exercise this week though, unless you count hefting 15- 40 lb. bags [...]
One Month Later…

Here are pics of the seeds I planted one month later. It must have been too cold for them to grow sooner. The peppers are just now coming up. Here’s Arden looking at the plants:
The tomato plants:
We have four boxes for the garden made now. Today I am going to mix the [...]

Back when Eric, the kids and I first moved to TN in 2007, we went to this big monthly flea market that they have at the Tennessee State Fairgrounds in Nashville. While there we found cheap Chinese umbrellas for the girls, (which they have since destroyed,) and these little chairs. I usually am [...]

I’ve lost another couple of pounds. It’s slow-going, but I’d rather have it be gradual weight-loss, as it tends to stay off!
On the down-side, I haven’t exercised all week. I’ll probably be getting on the treadmill later this morning or maybe really soon, since Sean is actually asleep.
My current weight [...]

Just the Usual

There’s not much going on today. I was feeling under the weather yesterday. Eric was too. I was just wiped out and sick to my stomach. Eric had the same symptoms. Sunday night I slept from 9 p.m.- 7 a.m. and I still was tired! I believe that I [...]
