Yesterday afternoon, I tweeted this: I must have received at least 50 replies agreeing that unloading the dishwasher is one of the worst household chores ever. Actually, for me, cleaning the bathtub is the worst chore ever, but unloading the dishwasher is a close second. I still haven’t unloaded the dishwasher from yesterday, so now the kitchen sink [...]

Since breakfast, I’ve done a whole lot of nothing. Ok, well, that’s a total lie. I actually cleaned the entire house (including the floors), did 3 loads of laundry, and took Murphy for an hour-long walk. So, it was a productive day, but on my own time, ya know? Mid-morning, Murphy parked his little butt [...]

Wahhh. My pumpkin oatmeal pancake completely bombed this morning. I have no idea what happened. I’ve made a zillion oatmeal pancakes in my lifetime, but for some reason, mine totally stuck to the pan this morning. My pumpkin oatmeal pancake ended up looking like this: It’s not the worst looking breakfast ever– and it actually [...]

Good morning, bloggies!!! I am in SUCH a good mood this morning! It must all of those feel-good endorphins from my early-morning workout! So, something weird happened this morning. When I took Murphy out to do his business, I actually found myself singing while I walked along. Guys, I don’t sing. You know those people who [...]

Hello, Monday! Sorry that I didn’t post about dinner last night. It ended up being a really late night for me– plus, I still needed to write my Health post for the week. If you’re curious, Mal and I ate dinner at my mom’s house last night, which I wrote about over at Trading Up [...]

Good morning, bloggies! I slept so late this morning! It was awesome and totally worth it. I feel so much better this morning. I almost feel like my normal self again. I just need to get rid of my stuffy nose! Breakfast Mal finished off the peanut butter the other day and almost threw out [...]

Hi, guys! What a beautiful morning! Murphy and I just returned from a longer-than-usual morning walk. Typically, we walk for about 10-15 minutes in the morning, just so he can do his “business.” But, today, we did an extra loop around the block and walked for close to 25 minutes. It was so nice to [...]

Good morning! So, last night, I realized that I have a weird bedtime ritual. Before I get into bed, I need to close all of the closets in the apartment. For some reason, I feel like I can’t sleep soundly if they are open. Weird, right? This weird-o habit probably goes back to my “monster [...]

Happy Monday, bloggies! So, Ecto randomly starting working this morning. Wtf!?! I’m obviously happy, but it’s still very strange. Let’s just hope that it keeps working! I don’t think I can deal with another technology breakdown. Breakfast For breakfast this morning, I reheated a piece of Breakfast Polenta Pizza in the toaster oven. It was [...]
