Forty three minutes left in today and I’m just getting time to sit down with an internet connection. It was a lovely day after Thanksgiving day. This morning my mom and I went and got my Christmas tree. It was a spur-of-the-moment change of plans before she left town. The tree was procured at my [...]

I’m getting ready to head to bed after a lovely Thanksgiving day. My mom and I spent most of the day with the Steele/Vaughn/Reinertson clan in North Liberty. We enjoyed a great Thanksgiving meal and then the Cowboys won. This evening Mom and I watched The Blues Brothers as she’d never seen it all the [...]

From my apartment of the first snowfall of the season: In my kitchen as I work on a cake for Thanksgiving. I love my KitchenAid mixer!

I went to the doctor this afternoon for my weird pain and he said it was not heartburn, but he didn’t know what it was. He could make it hurt if he pushed on it, so he said that wouldn’t be heartburn. That if it was actually anything it was muscular skeletal in someway, but [...]

Thanks for all the comments, emails and concern for my person. I took some pepcid (I had it for my cat) and drank some milk last night. This morning the pain is finally no longer sharp and stabbing. Now it is just discomfort. I got a doctor’s appointment for this afternoon and I’m just going [...]

It brought back memories of my [...]

I have a sharp pain in the middle of myself. I’ve had it once or twice in the last few months and when I describe it to co-workers they tell me I have gas or I have heartburn, but I never have had anything offensive to eat that would seemingly cause that. All I’ve had [...]

Taly wonders who is this new cute baby that her mom is holding? Today was a baby shower for Muiread Whitworth and my camera battery died before too long. The cuteness just drained the batteries. I have a fair amount of photos to share, but I have to clean out my iPhoto library before I [...]

It was a long day of football tailgating and sitting around. I nearly completely forgot to blog. So this is all you get. I know it doesn’t really count, but its better than nothing at all.

My blog posting is starting to wane. I’ve got this giant post written in my head, it even has a clever title of Cats, Cars, and Crowe, but I just can’t seem to get it out tonight. Instead, I suggest you listen to the new John Mayer song, ‘Say‘, because its awesome. Or look at [...]
