Michael and I attended our very first Rockets game tonight, and had a great time! Neither of us are big basketball fans, but we definitely both enjoyed ourselves a lot. It was fun just getting out and doing something fun like that together. My boss had some extra tickets for the Rockets game against ... Read More about “And the Rockets red glare…”

Some Home Videos, and the start of a South Beach Adventure
We just officially finished Day 2 of Phase 1 of the South Beach Diet. I had heard lots of good things about South Beach, and when I finally got around to borrowing the book from my boss last weekend, I was impressed. After my super-skim of the book on Saturday morning, I found that the diet was ... Read More about Some Home Videos, and the start of a South Beach Adventure
Magnificent Mulch!
Michael and I went to an early mass today and spent the rest of the day working in the front yard together. I am pretty pleased with the results if I do say so myself!

At least the group meets at a house ... Read More about Weekend adventures

And when (I thought) the tour had ended, and Michael headed to the back door and said,"Wait until you see the ... Read More about In Praise of Big Strong Men and my new herb garden
Do I need thank you’s?
One of my favorite games to play when I was little was “house.” I would set up my little house and all of its rooms, decorate and then keep everything neat and clean and in its place. I also usually had a baby (but no husband, strangely) who slept all the time and never cried or needed diaper ... Read More about Do I need thank you’s?
