I am not a very good housekeeper. It is one of the few things I dislike about myself, you know, if you gloss over all of my body issues. I wish I was the kind of person who was fastidiously neat. Always putting things back where they belonged, cleaning messes up as soon as they [...]
I’m late! For a very important date! No time to say hello, goodbye! – White Rabbit
Am I ever on time for DB Challenges lately? I’m terrible. But I did get it done. The May Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Linda of make life sweeter! and Courtney of Coco Cooks. They chose Apple Strudel from the [...]
I’m cranky. Yes, it is partially because of my tomfoolery that led to my broken foot, which confines me to my couch and home. But there are also other things.

There is only so much you can ask from a weekend: that it be relaxing and that you have good weather. What this weekend did not provide in weather, it gave in relaxation. And I soooo needed it. We started out on Friday picking up our new wheels (the final piece to our YUPPIE puzzle). [...]
