After Washing a Sink Full of Dishes…
I always end up looking like this when done washing dishes!

Why do always end up looking like this? Am I the only one who gets as much water on myself as I get on the dishes?! Take care, Debi aka…

Mom’s Meatloaf For Christmas!

I asked my son what he wanted for Christmas dinner… game hens again (that’s what we had for Thanksgiving but they really weren’t that good this time around), ham, chicken or meatloaf (it’s his grandma’s recipe).

He chose meatloaf. I’m good with that!

This is the original recipe I got from my mom. She made it for us as far back as I can remember. She was a single mom of two. And even when she was with my stepdad, she still had to make food stretch because he came with two sons that moved in as well.

I’m in the process of “getting my life together”… as if that’s a surprise right?! The real question is, “What the hell does that mean!?”

For me, that entails quite a few different things. I want more room in my home which requires that I declutter, more time to focus on the things that matter which requires that I get this stuff done, and the peace of mind that when I die, my son knows what the hell is here which requires that I get organized! But I keep putting these things off because life is happening. But this is ABOUT my life so it’s time to get it together!

True Stories: Stop Jumping There Before You Get Hurt!
The Granddaughter - Always on the Go!

The latest and greatest… she’s smart, she’s 4, and she’s always on the move…

Monday. Granddaughter’s playing “don’t touch the floor”. So she’s jumping from the bed to the cooler in the corner.

Who Bought You Flowers?
You Seriously Didnt Notice

I want to share with you a glimpse into my personal relationship. We’re dating. We’re not dating. We used to date and now… Aw hell! For the sake of this post, I’m just gonna leave it at “It’s complicated.”

Anyway…

No More Bitter Cucumbers! Victory or Voodoo?
Sliced Cucumbers - One of my favorite vegetables

I love cucumbers! Of course I prefer them in pickle form if I have a choice, but in the summer heat, eating them plain and ice cold is definitely the way to go.

Until recently…

For some reason over the past year, it seems like every time I’ve bought cucumbers, part or all of every one had this god-awful bitter taste.
