WFMW :: Texting GlovesPosted by Alli on December 8, 2010
We have reached the point in the year when our position far from the sun makes us reach for things like turtlenecks, sweaters, scarves, coats, and gloves. Maybe hats, but I don’t wear them. I also don’t wear coats that often because I feel suffocated. But that’s a post for another day. In the last [...]
The story goes like thisPosted by Alli on February 25, 2010
My laptop is back in my hands. Or my lap, since technically it is a laptop computer. The laptop was completely wiped after filling up an external harddrive with recoverable things that I honestly thought would be lost to the place where bytes and bits go poof. I appreciate all the kind words in the [...]
Works for Me Wednesday :: Hot WaterPosted by Alli on October 21, 2009
So today the fridge got repaired and started humming and cooling, waiting for us to fill it up with perishables. BUT! Before I could move the food from the dorm fridge to the big fridge, I had to clean it up. It was gross. There was dried on yuck under the veggie drawers. There were [...]
Works for Me Wednesday :: Ikea Blue BagsPosted by Alli on October 7, 2009
This week’s Works for Me Wednesday has the “cleaning tip” theme, and even though I often fail in housekeeping I can offer something that I think is an awesome tip. I have seen the shows Clean House and Clean Sweep so many times, I can tell you exactly how it works. It always starts with [...]
Egg Muffins :: Works For Me WednesdayPosted by Alli on August 12, 2009
I’m spending this week trying to get cleaned up and organized to start school with Fuller on Monday. I still have a ways to go, but I think it is totally doable. One of the areas I have to be diligent to stay organized in is meal prep, specifically breakfast and lunch. I can totally [...]
WFMW :: Back to School EditionPosted by Alli on August 5, 2009
So, another meme I want to participate in. I usually miss the deadline to be included in the big link up, so I usually don’t post. It’s my own fault. This week’s What Works For Me Wednesday has a theme: Back to School. Since I’m not sending a child off to school this year, it [...]
Top Ten Tuesday :: Things I Just Need to DoPosted by Alli on August 4, 2009
Well, I feel compelled to post something in an attempt to get back into daily posting. I have my reasons. In an effort to help, I decided to join in this meme that usually occurs on Tuesday (hence the name, right?). Today’s attempt is kind of lame, but actually, it has helped me feel a [...]
Freezer Cooking PostscriptPosted by Alli on August 3, 2009
I forgot something pretty important in my freezer cooking post yesterday… and it was a funny anecdote as well! So here goes… When you are practicing the art of freezing food you must label everything. It helps if you label with the name of the food, date you made it, and directions for cooking/ reheating. [...]
Double Up :: Adventures in Freezer CookingPosted by Alli on August 2, 2009
The Moms Group I’m involved with usually has a theme during the summer months. This year we settled on “cooking.” Topics varied from quick cooking, preparing summer veggies, and our pantry staples. We had some great discussions and fellowship this summer, making our time together to be pretty memorable. I guess because of the weekly [...]
Don’t call me… or rather, just don’t leave a messagePosted by Alli on April 9, 2009
If you recall, my cell phone was water damaged in January. (Thank goodness for blog archives!) The good news was the cell dried out and started working again, with the exception of the outer display. Well, apparently the story wasn’t complete. I accidentally let the battery totally die on Tuesday. When I went home and [...]
