We've invited our small group over to watch the big game on Sunday (Go Giants!), and I'm starting to plan the menu. Being the dork that I am, I'm thinking potato soup, maybe with bread bowls. (Get it? Soup? Souper Bowl? I really am that cheesy.) Plus,

Seriously, it's gross out. This morning, it was almost 40 degrees, and I saw a tiny bit of sun. Now it's cold, and there's some icy rain/sleet/hail-like precipitation falling. Which should turn to snow later, complete with blowing winds and "blizzard

Which is, I suppose, better than a manic one. I made pear bread and muffins (had to use up the fruit before it turned into mush in the fruit bowl!), did some laundry and some research into money market accounts. Oh, and I tried a new recipe for dinner

Seriously... it was -6 at 6:30 am today, and now, four hours later, it's -4. I knew Wisconsin was cold, but I figured it wouldn't be too much colder than Ohio. Guess I was wrong! (This is when I think Andy was crazy for taking a transfer from GA to WI...)

Seriously, who in their right mind DOES want to go outside now? It's -10 here, with wind chills near -30. And my crazy husband and his parents were advocating a hike/cross country ski trip. I love outdoor stuff - but not when it's 10 below. The conversation

So today, I'm running around cleaning the apartment and getting things whipped into shape before Andy's parents show up tomorrow. They're supposed to get here around dinner time Friday and leave after breakfast on Monday. (Ah, the wonders of a long weekend...

I've got it bad. We're both tired of renting, and our game plan is to buy a house around the same time our lease expires. Since we'd have to let our landlord know that we're leaving at the end of April (if we're leaving in June), we thought it'd be a

At Christmas, we told Andy's parents that we didn't give them wedding photos because we weren't sure which ones they wanted. And since we had a family friend take the photos for us, we don't proofs - the pictures are all online at Snapfish. So, I share

Well, sort of. I'm not in any hurry to rush past the first part of the year. I mean, I've got Andy's birthday and Valentine's Day coming up, and I really would like to learn how to cross country ski. But, I am looking forward to "city trip" this spring

I did it! Today, I got all of our Christmas stuff boxed up and put away in the garage. Don't get me wrong, I love decorating, and I had a blast putting it up. But, it was time for it to go. I wanted our living room (and some order!) back. I just need

OK, I'm guessing most of you have seen the Jeep Liberty commercial with the singing guy and the wild animals. It just doesn't make sense to me! First of all, if I'm driving and an animal falls into my car via the open sunroof, I'm not going to leave it

We're in the middle of some of the weirdest weather. This weekend, it was in the 40s and extra foggy. And now, it's pouring rain. Earlier this morning, it was thundering too! I figured that January in Wisconsin would be cold and snowy. I'm actually hoping

After a crazy, whirl-wind tour of Ohio, 3 days of semi-relaxing in New York, and a 9+ hour drive, we are back in Wisconsin. It was nice to see everyone, but I am so glad to be back to "us." We realized that we'll have to revamp how we handle future visits.
