D.H.: why do they call it taking a poop?
Me: I don't know. They call it taking a pee, don't they?
D.H.: Yeah. But you're not taking it anywhere. NO ONE wants that.
(silence for a bit)
D.H.: They should call it leaving a poop.
In other news, I can't believe it's been a YEAR since I've posted anything. Yeesh. I'm bad at this game.

Just a few minutes of browsing makes me feel a full range of emotion, from irritation (all those pins that don't go to the original source; everyone labeling deserts as "healthy" when perhaps "more healthy" or "less fattening" would be a generous description; 'vignettes' and 'styling' photos - don't these people live in their houses??), Tonyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17894656889562153595noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1632163972936829578.post-90464189174267237942013-05-04T22:06:00.001-04:002013-05-04T22:07:08.045-04:00TeaserGuess what I've been up to...

Like today. I decided I'd make my wonderful husband some cookies.
Chocolate sugar cookies, to be exact. And I wanted to decorate them and make them beautiful. Then I decided I wanted to try a couple of different flavors of frosting (peanut butter and caramel and vanilla). Needless to say, my little project ended Tonyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17894656889562153595noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1632163972936829578.post-7132423637817128512013-01-12T16:47:00.004-05:002013-01-12T16:52:33.271-05:00Christmas, Christmas Time is Here
Well, it was here. Now it's gone, but that probably won't stop me from showing you all these pictures.
First (and most obviously) of all: my husband is the cutest. Seriously.
I'm not even a little sad that we were both this spoiled.
And guess who got a new camera lens!?? THIS GIRL!! It's a 50mm f1.8, and it's pretty dang fun.

I've been a little depressed this week because it's already the EIGHTH of AUGUST and I feel like there are only a few grains left in my summer hourglass, and it bums me right out. I capital-HEART summer for so many reasons, not the least of which is all the glorious fresh fruits!

I'd say only about 20 minutes of hands-on time, the rest is raising and baking. Get your aprons ready!
Yes, I made this...Looks good enough to eat!

HATE them. I'd rather do a million squats than have to do lunges.
I don't understand the people who say they would get bored if they didn't work. If I could financially afford to stop working right now, I totally would. And I would find other things to do to combat the supposed "boredom" that would come with it.

**UPDATED 7/23/12**
I actually remembered to take a before photo, I just forgot I took it. Here's the full before:
I forgot to take a before photo, so this is the "mostly before, but after we ripped out most of the scraggly ground cover" photo.
My manly husband cutting the edge of the sidewalk straight with the circular saw. Yep - that's how we do it 'round here.

Not to say that I have been a busy beaver, I spend most of my time sitting on my arse. Before Christmas, though, you should've seen me go. I built my husband a workbench for his Christmas present.

I really don't know who chose these colors, but my feeling is they either couldn't really see yellow or they really REALLY liked yellow, because every color they used has a yellowish tint.
