I’m a big fan of using baskets and bins when you need to store things in plain site. The problem with our place right now is having enough space for even those items. For storage. A one-bedroom place is so tiny. I get frustrated at times with our lack of space.
But what I really need [...]

I’m taking it easy on myself tonight. (Do I do that too much?) I’m slowly feeling better from the cold I had/ have. But I don’t want to do too much and get sick again. I debated not even going to the store tonight, but I wanted to pick up a couple of things.
On my [...]
I’ve been distracted tonight by watching Top Chef. We watch every Wednesday and it’s getting down to the wire. I’ve learned a lot about food since watching it the last several seasons. I would love to read more about classical French cooking and techniques. And I would love to be a much better cook.
Since meeting [...]
Not feeling well right now. Big cold seriously kicking my behind. Right now I’m trying to get some rest and figure out why my eye is watering, burning, and light sensitive. Made for a rough day of looking at the computer, that’s for sure. Hubby has been helpful, letting me take a nap this afternoon. [...]

And even with going to bed that early, I didn’t get much sleep last night. I kept waking [...]
I’m almost falling asleep at the keyboard. This is my stopgap in case I don’t get to post something longer. I will try to get back to fix this. Honest.
It’s sometimes tough to keep a running tally in your head of every item in your pantry. If you do it, you have a better memory than I. While I mostly know what we have on hand, I sometimes forget a small item or two that we needed. If I keep a running grocery list, [...]
I still haven’t managed to clear the recent desk clutter. In fact, I just tossed more mail on it this morning. Ugh. And the next couple of days are busy enough that I may not have time to properly file and put things away. Maybe I’ll squeeze in 15 minutes to do some minor clearing, [...]
I haven’t been feeling too well the last couple of days. Kid waking up in the middle of the night and not going back to sleep right away. Lack of sleep, plus other health things. Like allergies.
And things like that make it really hard to keep on top of things. To stay organized. My desk [...]
