Bananas and Such


Two bananas sat on my counter, getting more and more brown, and less and less appetizing. I usually put them in the freezer and then wait for that one day when I will think, "Hey, I know. I have three to four (2 cups) of bananas in the freezer. I should make banana bread." I search through my two freezers for the said bananas, and after finding a few I let them sit out on the counter to thaw into a sloppy puddle. Once they are mostly thawed I attempt to peel them and get the semi-liquid form to the bowl on the opposite side of the kitchen without goo-ing the floor ('why didn't I bring the bowl over here by the garbage,' I always think). Well today I had a genius idea. Genius! I peeled the bananas BEFORE I put them in the freezer. I took out a quart-size slider plastic bag (purchase by accident, because those sliders are a luxury in my silly mind while I'm contemplating my purchase in the plastics aisle at the grocery store), found a Sharpie pen and wrote, "2 bananas" on the bag. Yep.

I know many of you when you started reading this have very strong opinions about how ripe a banana should be when eaten. That actually has nothing to do with this.

Happy Days

This is Dan's last week being gone Monday through Wednesday! Yahoo!! He gets a new student this Thursday too. And I got to go to a movie with my mom and Katelin, and didn't have to take my kids! Megan lives just down the hill and came up to watch them. And she cleaned up all the toys. All of them. In every room. Next time I need to clean my house I'll just go out. By myself. What a great idea! And Josie loves her. One time when Megan got here I was saying bye to Josie and she said, "Mom, just go." Awesome.

Morning Glory and Hallelujah!


WE HAVE THE INTERNET AT HOME! I am typing this in my very own chair at my very own table! My world is changed. And I am happy. And a little over- and under-dressed according to my picture.

Something new

I'm going to go private, so not everyone can look at my blog. Please let me know if you want me to add you to the list. Thanks!

Josie likes Dan to do hats before bedtime.


Easter!














Josie's giving Violet some flowers that she picked at the park.



My first attempt at a birthday cake. Yeah, my second attempt was in a pan.




I walked in and Josie said, "Lotion." No, it was Desitin.

Happy Birthday Josie!


She loved the candles!








She did get a lot of loot.




What a cutie!















But I can't get this thing to work. AAAAAAAh!
