Monday, With Cream

Today I sat at my holiday-infested desk and stuffed roughly 450 Christmas cards into envelopes. This could have been a nightmare, but guess what? This year we ordered the peel and seal style envelopes! Translation: No licking. No transporting rosemary flavored cracker crumbs to the envelope flap. No raw/sour tongue for the next month.

80% of the Christmas gifts are wrapped and under the tree. 12% is sitting on my kitchen table. The last 8% has yet to arrive. 18% of the lights are burned out on our little Christmas tree. 65% of me doesn’t care. 30% of the snow has melted. 25% of it has been replaced by […]

  I realize it’s December and we’re supposed to be eating casseroles and holiday cookies and drinking eggnog. I know. And I try. But this summer Aaron surprised me with dinner one evening and I’ve not been able to get the meal out of my mind. I’ve asked him a bazillion times since then to […]

A couple of weeks ago Aaron came home from a business trip, buzzed with excitement. The trip was cool for him on multiple levels: he got to hang out with a famous NBA player, sit courtside at an NBA game and most importantly, he got to taste the food prepared by the basketball player’s personal […]
