I am working on developing a training deck of staggering genius at work. I’m quite positively obsessed with it. I wake up in the middle of the night writing pieces of it in my sleep. It teaches using practical examples and hands-on activities. Best of all, it’s ACCURATE. And yes, I’m being a little tongue-in-cheek…

I was angry at Robin, but now I’m sad because I can see that a lot of her behavior stems from her own sadness and helplessness. She doesn’t know what to do because nothing she does makes her happy. And in the midst of not being able to find joy in her life, Billy and…

It was a long, long day, and we have an early, early morning tomorrow. So here is a picture of a cake that I did not eat.

We did our Christmas food shopping and Christmas baking today, and now there is officially nothing else to do until Christmas. And please god no more spending money. It is astonishing how much we spent on groceries. Dinner better be amazing on Christmas. At least the cookies are pretty good!

I was so exhausted all day long. I fell asleep during Christina’s dance class and simply couldn’t stay awake after dinner. I don’t know why I am so tired, but I am going to bed.

Christina had the idea to have stadium food while we watched the first Penn State football game of the season. So we did and it was awesome! Also, today Jackson turned 13 and got a hot dog to celebrate, and we played a LOT of Scattergories. A nice Saturday.

We took a family pasta making class at the Y and made about 10 pounds of pasta. Not that any of it went to waste. The dogs enjoyed eating the small amount of dough that was too sticky to use. I also made two more ornaments for the advent calendar, which looks like it might…

This summer is flying by with very little time to enjoy it. I feel like I am just jumping one hurdle after another without ever taking a break. It’s not that I’m not having fun as much as that I’m having fun without having the chance to acknowledge that I’m enjoying it. If this is…

Nothing seemed to go right today. All week long I’ve been looking forward to reverse tie dyeing this weekend. I put undiluted bleach on my black shirt for 20 minutes and it didn’t fade even a little bit. I guess it’s because it’s not cotton. Then we installed a new Ring doorbell, and it worked…
