A Culinary Dork

December 21, 2009

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! A place where we can share things that we did not do with people that we do not know! Or something like that. First, it was not me who actually had to write out twelve times seven on a piece of paper to figure up how many cookies I needed for [...]

Friday Night Lights

December 18, 2009

The Southern part of West Virginia is gearing up for 6-12 inches of snowfall. Or 5-8 depending on which news channel you happen to be listening to. I can’t tell you how crazy that makes me because I don’t like snow. Or ice. Or cold temperatures. People are all agog (such a great word!) stock-piling [...]

December 16, 2009

For the past six days, at least one of us here at the McResidence has been battling something. The poops. The pukes. The snots. And the fever. Gross? Maybe. But I try to keep things real around here. Because of the aforementioned nuisences, I need a break today. I had thought about telling you 13 things [...]

Boxes and Bags and Bows, Oh My!

December 15, 2009

Sometimes I come up with something so profound that it surprises even me. Humility anyone? Actually, I’m not sure how profound this is, but it certainly is a clever little trick that works for me. While perusing through The Big Lots one day I ran across a couple of large, fun boxes. I had no [...]

Top Ten Things I Learned At Santa’s Workshop

December 14, 2009

Then, I headed home and loaded the McRide for Stevie’s birthday party. He turned seven on Saturday. Late Friday evening, the stupid stomach bug hit McDaddy. By Saturday [...]
