Impressively, I was able to stay awake this year to ring in 2006. (I’m not always able to). 2006 Resolutions 1) Cook more 2) Get a new job 3) Pay off credit cards, car 4) Stop chewing things that shouldn’t be chewed (fingers, etc) For New Year’s Eve, Gene and I stayed home. Dinner at…

Friday Friday Friiiiiiiiiday…
Good things about today at work: Arrived 1 hour late, left 30 minutes early, free pizza lunch. Bad Things about today at work: oh, too many to mention. But now it’s Frrrrrrriiiiiiiiidaaaaaaay. OMG, OMfG, it’s the weekend. And it’s a 3 day weekend. Can’t wait, can’t wait. I’m working on my grocery list. The sale…
The Worst Mommy…
Gene just left to go to the airport to pick up MIL (her earlier flight was cancelled, so I think the poor thing has probably spent the day at the airport), and I celebrated by locking the dogs in their kennels so I could blog a moment. Hey, I gave them each a Pupperoni! As…

Yesterday was a good day: -Dogs to groomers -Gene to hair salon -Humans to big silly mall for go-carts, laser tag, sweater shopping and stroller stalking (guess which of those 4 activities *I* engaged in!) -Picked up dogs at groomers (they close at 3 and we were there at 2:50…stupid traffic) -Went to the grocery…
Yum!
Made these for dinner tonight. The verdict is that they are VERY good. I grew up eating my mother’s stuffed green peppers and I loved them! However, I wanted something a little more offbeat so I found the recipe. I made it with ground lamb instead of ground beef. I had no idea how fatty…
The MIL effect…
My MIL was in town for approximately 9 days. We cooked a lot of meals while she was here. Meatloaf, beef stew, coney dogs (yeah! she got to try just about every meal I can make…and she made the stew, so don’t get excited). Anyway, so she leaves and the MIL effect is still in…
