Friday night update

This week has been a bit busy. I ended up picking up 2 lovely medium blue armchairs for Devin's office. I still need to head over and give them a good cleaning before he can use them but they will look very nice in his office. Treanna had a choir

Mondays are not bad

Or at least this one wasn't. I had a nice quiet day at home alone. Did laundry and made chocolate chip cookies. Of course I made dinner too. I had to clean the kitchen and the fridge. Before I could make cookies I also needed to clean out the oven

It has not been above freezing for the last couple of days. There is still snow on the ground and ice in some places. I am cold. Luckily I have access to lots of hot food. In other news Treanna has now opened all her new Mini Whinnie sets. I luckily found

Bored with pizza?

What do you make when you are bored with pizza, yet still want pizza taste? Plus you want to use your neat baking stone and have something with the texture of french bread? Well after thinking about it as I was not feeling well earlier today, I decided

Birthday update

Today did turn out to be a wonderful day even if I did discover that my turn signals were not functioning that well on my little mazda. I ended up going into the office with Devin. Partly so I could have lunch at the Olive Garden with him but also so
