Food storage item of the week

Here we go ——->>>> How did everyone do last week? I heard good things from many of you.  Unfortunately my 4:30 am wake-up call is catching up with me and I simply do not have the energy to go through my posts and hand out praise.  But those who did… Read More

Murder is not an option

It is 5:11 AM.   My alarm clock should be going off in a few minutes. I have been up for half an hour, though.  Why? Let me give you the transcript: Mister:  Jennie?  Jennie, are you awake? Me: [I can hear him and actually think as I’m coming out… Read More

If you can make it there

Talk about famous!  My sister-of-a-friend blogger, Stephanie Nielson (the one who got in the plane crash) got a write-up in the New York Times.  The article is about the blogging community that has rallied around her since her accident.  It was in the honest-to-goodness newspaper, not just the online version.… Read More

Category 5

I realize that I will probably be struck by lightning for saying this, but I’m a little disappointed that Gustav did not end up being a category 5 hurricane. There is some part of me–some twisted, evil part–that loves mayhem. On a personal level I don’t want anyone’s home to… Read More
