Welcome to the decade of your 30s, husband of mine.

Nathan hit the big three-oh milestone and we celebrated by being sick together. Thankfully we are recovering and felt well enough to go out to dinner. This dinner was so fancy, I felt out of place wearing a slightly bulky sweater and still trotting around in maternity pants (they don’t quite fit but neither do …

Sunday Afternoon

I wish I could hit pause on Sunday afternoons. It's quiet, we're cozy on the couch while it's snowing outside, Nathan's home and Dom falls asleep in my arms. How can you not love his little arm wrapped around you?

Stay Away From Fiber One

Today, I was teleworking. I logged onto the network this morning, then went and poured a bowl of Fiber One cereal for breakfast. Bad idea. The worst. Within a half an hour, I spent some quality time in the bathroom, ridding it from my system. I thought I could blame this one on pregnancy, but …

Do You Eat Your Spinach?

I shower every day. I always wear clean clothes. I don’t always put on makeup or do much with my hair. It would seem that I’m not keen on trying to impress my coworkers with anything other than being clean. Of course, back in my dating days, I would try a little harder on the …

The Drama of Running Out of Milk

Sometimes you should have just stayed in bed. Yesterday was, well, an ADVENTURE for the Elkinseseses. The day started out nice and cheery: Nathan’s last day of summer and my regular teleworking day. I got out of bed, shuffled into the kitchen and started to pour a bowl of cereal. But then I realized WE …

Wisdom Teeth

I've been thinking today about my senior year of high school when I had my wisdom teeth removed. I remember having to schedule it in between the end of a fall basketball league and before tryouts started for the high school team.  I was a little worried about this because I needed to be in …

The Easter Bunny’s Demise

In case you were wondering, the Easter Bunny lost his head. That's my proof that I took with my cell phone. Here's the news story proof: Easter Bunny Loses His Head on Live TV. Must have been terrifying for the kids that witnessed it. Did the Easter Bunny visit you this year? Nathan and I …

Talking About Food Burns Calories

Nathan is falling asleep on the floor. Our little PC attached to our TV is playing through our music library, currently on "C'est Trop Beau" by Tino Rossi. It's dinner time. I need to wake up my husband to go pick something up tonight because we didn't get around to buying fish. You have to …

2011: The Year of The Dictator

I’ve thought about writing a Larrie’s-year-in-review post since sometime in mid-December but nothing seemed to materialize. Sure you could blame that on me not attempting to write it. Apparently, words don’t just appear all by themselves. Shucks. At one point, I tried pulling out my Google Calendar to review all of the happenings in my …

Christmas Time is Here!

This is just to say... Christmas treats are delicious Too bad it won't be a white Christmas here But we should have blue skies, no inversion 🙂 We finally put up decorations and our tree this week Pogi has not eaten the tree or even knocked off one ornament (yet) Lots of time with family …
