The Two-Story Target

July 29, 2010

When we were back in San Diego (for the third time this year) we went across the highway to the Target to pick up some stuff for TJ. The weather was a lot chillier than we had expected. It may be because I grew up in Oklahoma and live in Amarillo now and haven’t been [...]

You Never Know

June 22, 2010

You never know where your name might show up when you have a book about bartending published. You also never know if anybody has ever really bought it and is actually using it. But, apparently a writer for the Chicago Tribune found it and wrote an article about coffee drinks and adapted one of the [...]

I Can’t Say I Didn’t Try

May 16, 2010

We did a ton of yard work today.  We had 1400 pounds of rock that we put down in the rose garden.  It was called New Mexico chips.  Anyhow, we didn’t quite have enough rocks and while we inspected our work, we found a little baby  bird that had fallen from its nest near our [...]

Pinto Beans in the Pressure Cooker

May 15, 2010

A few weeks ago we were visiting my sister-in-law and her family in Galesburg, Illinois for Easter.  It was here that I learned about the power of a pressure cooker.  Now, there’s not a whole lot of space in our kitchen for additional kitchen gadgets, but I convinced my husband that a pressure cooker is [...]

New Site Devoted to My Photography

April 25, 2010

I’ve had www.photosuwant.com for quite awhile, but I created a new design for it over the weekend and have decided that I’m going to post all photo challenge entries over there. I’ll probably still share them over here, but I’m trying to attract more attention to that site and get some traffic going. Saying that, [...]

We’re Not Supposed to be Working from Home – Technically

March 24, 2010

Yesterday we received a sign violation for our small Words You Want sign that we have in our yard. We don’t really try to advertise locally, as a lot of our business comes from international clients and out of state clients. There are several website and business owners in our town, but for whatever reason, [...]

Red Beans and Rice

March 15, 2010

I’ve made this recipe about three times now and it has come out awesome twice of those three times. Interestingly enough, I used the quick soak method both of those times for the beans. I tried soaking them overnight one of the times and I needed to cook them a whole lot longer than I [...]

Loving my New Blackberry Tour!

We are going to Spain at the end of September and to in order to keep up with the business, we needed a phone that we could use internationally. There aren’t many international cell phones out there and there are only two Blackberries that are international. We both had Blackberry Curves, so we had to [...]

WordPress Tip of the Week

January 13, 2010

Okay, so I really don’t have a WordPress tip of the week, but this week while I was working on a client’s project that involved posting to WordPress I was having this crazy problem with paragraph spacing. Apparently, there are some WordPress themes that just won’t allow you to have proper paragraph spacing, which makes [...]

Diet Day 3-5

January 7, 2010

It’s been so crazy around the office this week, that I haven’t had a chance to post about my dieting. So far it’s going pretty good in terms of meeting 1300 calories a day. It leaves absolutely no room for me to have any junk food, which is good and bad. I would really like [...]
