I'm not sure what is going on with me. I have a sharp pain in my right side, it hurts worse when I walk, my stomach is bloated and the pain shoots down my leg and wraps around my back at times. It started last night and one area (right by my hipbone) is very sensitive to touch. My husband thinks...

Happy Easter everyone! OMG, I am SO sorry this is so late. It's been a crazy hectic day here getting things ready for Easter Dinner. Dinner was at MIL's so she did most of the work, but I still made a couple side dishes that took some time. But she made this absolutely sinful Eclair cake/pie...

So, LittleOne is weird. She refuses to drink from the water dish; she insists on drinking from a dirty dish in the sink. It doesn't matter which one (since 90% of the time there is at least ONE dirty dish) but she really prefers the Italian flavored water over anything else. See, there is a...

Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone! Today's question is two parts. 1) Do you have any Irish in you, 2) Do you celebrate St. Paddy's Day? I am part Irish. Biologically (I'm adopted), we were told I'm mainly Irish, Scottish and Welsh. Plus my dad who raised me was mainly Irish so I have a soft spot...

So, it's around 60 degrees today! Most of the snow from last week has melted except for a few stubborn piles which should be gone by this evening. DH is working and putting siding on the house, and I'm going to collect the last (hopefully) few bags of kindling for the season. I've already...

So, yesterday was our 9th annual Hooley Plunge. http://www.hooleyplunge.com/ Basically, a bunch of people pledge money, dress like leprechauns, drink beer then jump in a frozen lake. All donations and pledges go towards Special Olympics. I couldn't go, but I did pledge, and some of my...

What does the inside your refrigerator look like? Mine is usually a mess. I do clean it out once a week (toss left overs etc) but I have a bad habit over packing it so things get shoved in the back and forgot about. Yesterday, it was driving me crazy so I cleaned it REAL good, as in taking the...

So, last night I decided to make Swiss steak (cubed steak with onions, green peppers, tomatoes and gravy). So I browned the steak nicely, added the onions and a can of diced tomatoes, grabbed a bag of frozen peppers from the freezer and dumped it in still frozen. Put the lid on to let it slow...

This has probably been asked before but I think its interesting: What was your first paying job? Mine was working as a receptionist at our church.  I started when I was 14 and I was paid under the table at $1.25/hr. Hey, for sitting there, answering the phone and door, doing mailings and my...

So, today is Super Bowl Sunday here in the US. I admit, I'm rooting for the Ravens...for 3 reasons: 1) I'm a Maryland girl at heart 2) I like Edgar Allen Poe and 3) I like purple   . Honestly, I have no idea about the game or team, I just watch it for the food, beer and commercials. The only...

Sorry this is so late, I'm feeling under the weather today. Which brings me to my question: Have you been sick yet this season? I haven't gotten "sick" sick (knock on wood) as in I haven't caught the flu or anything. What I have is the annual sinus infection which usually is here on and off...

Sorry this is so late. We started hanging dry wall first thing this morning, and I kind of forgot about this. Anyway, our local high school's marching band was chosen to perform in the Inaugural parade tomorrow! There were over 3000 high school bands that applied, I forget how many were chosen...

So, I have a nasty burn on my arm from the wood stove (yes, it attacked me! lol). I was putting logs in to feed a decent fire, and it was one of those moments when you think to yourself "I bet it would really hurt if I touched this"....and sure enough I sizzled my arm when I put the next log in...

Today's question is kind of strange, but it was something we were talking about at work last week. Are there any everyday tasks that you have trouble with simply because you can't wrap your mind around it? For example, a girl I went to school with had a hard time telling time on an ordinary...

Well, 2013 is almost upon us, for better or worse. Today's question: was 2012 good to you? I guess it was good to us because we're still here, but it could have been a little bit more generous. I'll be happy to see a new year though. Something about a new year makes me feel like anything is...

Sorry this is SO late....today's question is: Are you ready for Christmas? Obviously I am not or the question would have posted this morning instead of at 11:44pm. Actually, we don't have much to get done for Christmas since we're still working on getting this stupid room done, but I'm hosting...

Well, I'm about ready to venture out in the world to finish my Christmas shopping. Today's question is: Do you enjoy Christmas shopping? I admit, I do enjoy the hustle and bustle a bit, at least for the first 1/2 hour or so. I went on Black Friday and haven't been in a store (except for the...

DH started decorating outside last night, so far so good. Now, keep in mind, this is a multi-night task. It's definitely not as simple as putting up a few strands of light and putting a wreath on the door. No, my husband is a Griswald wanna be. And every year it's different. So far, we have the...

So we're trying to get this room done before the holidays so we have a place to put our Christmas tree. I'm not sure it's going to happen though... Today's question: Do you put up a tree? If so, is it real or artificial? 

You know, I just realized today that I forgot the question of the day last Sunday! Sorry about that!! Last weekend was so nice DH and I spent most of it outside trying to get the addition under roof and it completely slipped my mind. But, I remembered it today! Anyway, this week I'm getting my...
