I went home on my lunch to check on dinner. I was making Spanish Rice in the crockpot for the first time and wanted to make sure that I put enough water in it so it didn’t burn. When I checked on it 3 hours later – it was already done! I could have had dinner at noon 🙂 I…

Sleep running
Instead of sleep walking I was “Sleep Running” this morning. So. Tired. I have been wanting oatmeal, but kinda picked the wrong day to make it since I am super hot now.

Gathering sticks
I feel guilty that I sometimes think I need certain material things. I think it’s ridiculous that Target has so much crap and we are almost trained to want this stuff! That being said, I went to Target today to get some stuff for the apartment. As I was driving home (feeling guilty) I realized in my own little way…

Leave it to IHOP
Sorry I didn’t post last night…we got home at 1:30am and didn’t get to bed until after 2! Then, we had to wake up early to unload the truck and get it back to the rental place. Oh, and the trip all the way to NJ was kind of a bust because the fam had recently had a yard sale…
