So, I talked about it back in January. AND, I talked about it again in April. Today I had a root beer and pickle chip lunch with a friend. One thing led to another and suddenly I found myself sitting on a table in a tattoo and piercing shop. Sometimes you just have to stop [...]

This is Tuesday’s haul from the produce co-op. We scored cilantro, two bunches of kale, bananas, cherry tomatoes, Baby Bella mushrooms, broccoli, green peppers, limes, lemons, corn, zucchini, garlic, mangos, oranges, and pears.

I absolutely love that most of you remember the spelling word that took you down in elementary school. The word that Meredith will remember for the rest of her life? Defiantly. The great news? Meredith finished in third place. (Of course, because she’s just like me, she HATES that she came in third. She’s PISSED [...]

Jeff came home early from work last Tuesday because he had a terrible cold. He’s not one to jump the gun on sick days, so it really surprised me when he stayed home on Wednesday, too. On Thursday, when I started feeling heaviness in my head, I was So Angry. Friday found me home alone [...]

Despite some fairly minor glitches, the tying of the tubes was a success! Glitch #1: Everyone I talked to at the hospital seemed a bit worried to hear that I was on a solo mission. Jeff dropped me off at 6:00, and planned on being back by 8:15. The surgery was scheduled for 8:00, and [...]
