Yep you read the title right, my garden educated me today. Yesterday we spent money on our garden, you see we love to grow and enjoy stuff and since we had just received some product rebates we had some “free money”. We couldn’t think of a better way to burn free money. So we bought […]

My bulbs are in bloom, April 2008.
I downloaded a free program called seashore that allows me to add watermarks to my photos on my MacBook so I can finally share them all with YOU! I have tons of things in bloom right now and am loving all the color. This one is Muscari that usually comes up with the crocus in […]
Birthday photos shared!
I promised to post some photos from my birthday and I try to live up to my promises! Since I got plants galore you will be subjected to a slew of bulb information and photos but don’t run away yet! We also have some adorable baby photos and some yummy fondue photos to share. First, […]
Woho… The crocus are in bloom!
That means gardening fun is about to begin for us! The crocus blooms are a beautiful yellow and are quite cheerful. They are kind of short, like they were planted too deep but it still so great to see them even if they are short. Do you have any early spring bulbs that are blooming […]
Happy St. Pattys day guys, dye your hair green like me!
Yep, St. Patrick’s day is today… Just realized this. Here is a little flashy, flash from the past for you:
When I was in 6th grade I was going to this girl scout party for St. Patrick’s day. They were having a contest, “wear the most green and win”. My step dad and I planned to go and win.
Our weekend trip to Grand Falls, Northern Arizona
On Saturday N and I headed out to Grand Falls to see the famous “chocolate falls” on the reservation. It is a little known wonder that is very cool! How many waterfalls have you seen in Arizona? They do exist and this is just one of them! It was an overcast day with beautiful snow […]
Wordless Wednesday- Vote for Andrew our kitty!
I am contest crazy! I entered this pet contest over at Bissell to win a pet hair eraser vacuum. You can view my kitty and vote by clicking here. Happy Wednesday! —— Oh, while I am shamelessly promoting my contests I should remind you that in 2 days the voting for my cooking chicken video […]
A rant about installation appointments
Well we are still waiting to have our phone/ DSL connected today. We had an appointment for a tech to come out between 12pm & 5pm today, it’s 4pm as I write this and nobody is here. The whole deal with service calls and connecting utilities is kind of silly. They need access to your […]
Fun with the family.. Video with adult language!
We made my yummy salt roasted chicken for dinner and then made some smores for dessert. Were having some fun before we start the moving process from the one rental to another… Here is a snapshot of our evening, good times! [youtube I90WJeO9RDg Fun with family- video]
I don't want to be free boobin' anymore…
I am spending much of my blogging time over at Gather right now. Please forgive me for being boring and neglecting my blog but I am only 50 points away from a $25.00 Macy’s gift card that I intend to use for my girls (yes the boobs). My bra has recently become even more of […]
Working on the Nissan Maxima…
As some of you already know, our car died last week and we had planned to work on removing the alternator this weekend. I have never worked on a car before but we didn’t let that stop us.We had our little manual for the job, it showed photos and directions for getting the tasks accomplished […]
Pretty, pretty Orchids!
Instead of getting cut flowers for valentines day I got a pretty potted orchid! I love plants so this just makes my day, although I am not confident that I’ll be able to keep it alive since the temperature and light levels in my home are so whacked… Anyway, wanted to take to opportunity to […]
Sometimes I would like to just be a hermit.
Today has been eventful for us. We had to head into town to do some minimal grocery shopping so we did that today between my teaching class this morning and N having to work this afternoon. We shop at the local Sam’s club, we buy food in bulk and make it last. Anyway when we […]
Our oven works?? Now what do I do?
It’s been a long and annoying 2 weeks since our stove caught fire and today I am here to report that it appears we can actually use the oven on our new for us/ used stove. Oh, joy. Guess that means I can stop eating large dishes of jello like it’s going out of style […]
My interview by Janelle
I participated in the citizen of the month great interview experiment and totally forgot to post my own interview questions here. It was fun to interview someone and to be interviewed. Janelle over at junk food for the soul interviewed me and thankfully she asked about my interview and reminded me to post it! I […]

This is not my photo, I found it via StumbleUpon and just loved it! It was found @ http://usera.imagecave.com/kcammack1 I just downloaded it so I could repost it but the credit for the photo is all theirs! Great capture!
When life gives you lemons…
… smash them into a sorry pulp, take some photos and blog about it. Things are crazy right now (that is quite the understatement)… Our living situation saga just keeps getting more and more interesting as the days pass. Back on January 15th 2008 I wrote “You broke your toe? Want to buy a house?” […]
Cuteness Carnival for you!
It’s witchypoo’s fault, she posted the cutest photo of a kitten today, I went to get a cup of coffee and found my own gato, Jack posing in all his cuteness and just had to share! It was about 57 degrees int he house when I took this photo, do you think he was cold? […]
We can cook again and we will be moving, again…
The last few days have been a bit trying for us as some of you know. On Tuesday night our gas stove/ oven caught fire and that was enough to make me drink hard liquor! Wednesday we were told by the rental company that a new stove was on the way but were not given […]
Our stove was on fire!
Yep, you read it right… Our stove caught fire tonight! I baked some chicken breasts in the oven and then turned the stove off. N and I were eating dinner and this repulsive smell was wafting through the house. I mentioned it to N several times over dinner. Eventually the smell got stronger and then […]
