James... The doorman at my office building. Such a warm man, love being greeted by him as I walk through the doors and he always has an elevator waiting for me.

I saw this and hope it works - you soak a rag in fabric softener. Then, let it dry. You then use it as fabric softener. It says it will last 50 loads! Hoping it works...

I'm sending out letters requesting donations to the fun fair raffle & silent auction for Shel's school PTO. I love doing it. It feels like I've won a raffle, myself, every time I check the PTO mailbox & find another gift certificate there!

Such a badgirl!

I took this picture to share with Cole (since he loves bacon). A 1,081 calorie shake...Disgusting!

I decided to contribute to Ralph (Bad Examples) Covert's Kickstarter account today. His is trying to make a new kids show about a Time Machine Guitar. He met and exceeded his goal so now he can go ahead with production.

Shel & I went for a walk at the West Chicago Prairie, this afternoon. Back in the woods we found a big warm blanket under a tree. We wondered if someone was sleeping out there, or if some teenagers just brought it out with them to stay warm while they were hanging out.

Tonight Bryce was hanging out with his other family (Navadomskis gang) & Nathan, Adam & Wyatt went to Target. Toots & I got some quality girl time together. We had soooo much fun just being super silly!!

Cole had an orchestra concert tonight and we have made it a tradition of going to get ice cream after the performance.

Miranda February 7, 2012

YUM!

It was pinewood derby night at Annie's church youth group.

Flower (our kitty) sneakily follows me around the house in the early morning hours when I am the only one awake, like he is spying on me. Any other time of the day the darn cat can't be bothered with me.

This is the book that Cole just finished reading tonight. It was 726 pages of really small type. We take turns reading with him every school night and I was not enjoying this book so, I am so happy that it is finally done.
