I watched the latest episode of "Modern Family" and cracked up the other night because Claire has a desktop shortcut to "porn" on her lapyop. When she clicks it, it's all organizational items pinned to her Pinterest board. LOL. It made me laugh and decide to share my pics - but thus is all real … Continue reading Coffee porn

Dinner and a show
Sahara played music for me during dinner. It was great! She started playing the clarinet in September 2013. She practiced for hours all that year and joined marching band the summer of 2014. The whole band practiced for hours and hours. My little girl has some real musical ability!

I'm still pretty swollen, and I still have no feeling from the bottom knuckles down to about where the photo of my arm ends...other than feeling like I have a horrible bruise inside my hand and wrist every time I make a fist or try to bend my hand down. It's only been a week … Continue reading Healing some

BBQ short ribs
Since I'm still healing from surgery, I'm pretty much functioning with one hand, and I wear out so quickly. Recipes need to be easy and fast to make with minimal prep.
