Yep, I’m toast

I failed at NaBloPoMo (again).  We were out of town this weekend and I had actually planned to pre-write some posts so I could just publish them from my drafts folder, but I didn’t.  Oh well…there’s always next year!

The Gentlemen of the College

Because I really don’t feel about writing about my trip to the dentist (which was fine–but it was a trip to the dentist), I thought I’d take a trip down memory lane.
When I was at William and Mary, there were a number of a cappella groups on campus.  The best of which was the Gentlemen [...]

Hot Blogitty Blog

I can’t say that I have anything too exciting to write about today, so I thought I would write about, well, blogging.

First thing on my mind, I know I’m way behind the curve on this one but I just recently learned how to subscribe to RSS feeds. I absolutely adore having blog posts from (some) [...]

More on the Flickr pictures

So, I’m redoing a lot (well, all) of my pictures and, as a result, those of you checking my Flickr site will see some changes.  Right now, I’m in the process of taking all the pictures from January 2009 and earlier off.  They will show up again, but not right away.  I’ll also be repacing [...]

Chili and pictures

Pat liked the chili last night, which is a good thing since he has a lot of it to eat.  I did not like it–I don’t think there was anything wrong with it but I’m picky.  So, I’m going back to my tried and true crockpot recipe.
Also, for those of you checking my Flickr site….I [...]

I hope this chili is good…

It’s very good weather for chili here lately–overcast and blustery.  I found a new recipe that I’m going to try tonight and it turns out I’m going to have to double it.  The problem is bean, dried kidney beans to be exact.
You see, I’ve always used canned beans for recipes, and now I know why!  [...]

5 months of waiting…

and Lillie’s first tooth is here!  Pat (well, okay, me too) thought it was coming in around the time she hit 4 months.  After all, she was drooling a lot and I got my first tooth at 4 months.  Then…it never arrived.  I later learned that all babies drool at about that age because their saliva [...]

The verdict

Well, it’s a cracked tooth–cracked because, long ago in Boston, someone incorrectly filled a tooth that didn’t need to be filled.  Ugh!  I have to live iwth the pain (which is getting a little worse each day) until next Thursday.  Then I go in the following Wednesday to have another cavity repaired (yes, I need [...]

Dealing with the BIG D

Dentist, that is.
I’m leaving in about 30 minutes for what is scheduled to be a routine cleaning, but what I know will lead to something more as I’m pretty sure, at the very least, I’m going to have a filling replaced.  So, this filling–this is the filling that shouldn’t even be there!  Back when I [...]

The good thing about swimming lessons is…

….long naps afterwards for Lillie! 
Yes, we’re still in swimming lessons and probably will be for, um, the foreseeable future.  Lillie loves them and I think it’s good to get her used to the water.  I don’t really want to be taking breaks from lessons because I want to avoid her forming a fear of water.  [...]
