It is one of those days when you just want to put on your sweats and lounge around the house and do nothing. That is what we are doing now but our weekend didn’t start that way. I worked at home yesterday and decided to surprise Brett with a lemon baked chicken dinner with roasted root vegetables. (It’s still in the fridge.) With Akron Canton…
cleanin’ and ebayin’
We spent the weekend sorting through the closet. January seems to be the perfect time to clean out the old so there’s room for the new. This year it has been particularly true since my sizes have been dropping. I ended up with three big black garbage bags stuffed full. Next time Amvets calls, I’ll have something for them to pickup. I sorted out the…
welcome 2009!
2009 is here. Last night we had 8 friends over for a New Years Eve pork and sauerkraut dinner. We played some SkipBo and just had fun hanging out. We watched the ball drop on ABC. It was amazing to see Dick Clark on another year. I feel for him and his recovery from the stroke, but it is time to hang it up. They…
post-holiday shopping marathon
Brett and I are off work this week and decided to spend a day shopping for after Christmas bargains. We had never been to Whole Foods and Trader Joes in Beachwood.

Treasure Bars
I am going to post an unhealthy recipe. You won’t see me do that much on this blog. I posted this recipe originally on Bearly Edible. It’s Christmas, and I love this cookie. I am making it for friends and family. I must confess I will sample a few also. So, I have no nutrition data for this recipe and know it is not what…
