I asked for a suprise last week while Shannon was out birthday shopping, and he brought me home a new game for my DS. He picked Rhythm Heaven. I love it, it’s so silly and funny. And hard for my small brain. I play it a lot and the songs are in my head all […]

Pickles!
By Caitlin Jane in food, making stuff is goodSince Ashley‘s been blogging about making cheese, I got all jealous and wanted to be more productive too, so I am back on pickling mode. I made some pickled beets the other day, but they aren’t that great, I think the cider vinegar I used was a cheap one and watered down. They still taste […]

Work.
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, workToday, at work, I did a double work out. Let me explain: Normally I do a 20 minute bike ride-it’s a recumbent type bike-and I average 4.5 miles and burn about 400+ calories. So I did that today, but I was done with 35 minutes left to go on my shift, so I thought, what […]

Yet another perk
By Caitlin Jane in a good dayWho would ever have thought I’d enjoy living with fish so much? Not me, that’s for sure. Yet somehow, here I am, loving fish. There are three of them, 2 koi fish and one black slurper (identified by Ashley as a plecostamus) at the bottom of the pond. I walk past them 100 times each […]

Felicitations!
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, love, toys, we have funToday was Ari’s 6th birthday. I think it was probably her most eagerly anticipated birthday yet, and has been talked about for almost a year. The day went very well, Ari helped me bake and decorate her own cake this morning: Served on my grandmother’s wedding china, yes. I am no cake decorator, that’s for […]

Foundlings
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, dollhouseIf the word on the street is that I am a total pack rat, word has it right. I really am. And the last year and a half I’ve been living without my stuff, my glorious, wonderful, life affirming stuff. Now we have room and I have all my stuff back and the joy I’ve […]

Work meeting
By Caitlin Jane in workWe have a meeting for work every 6 weeks or so, and tonight’s went really well. Probably due to the great agenda that was written: See the fifth suggestion? Trust me, a group hug at a work meeting helps bring staff together and makes everyone happy. And we did all put on happy faces after […]

Old news
By Caitlin Jane in Old crapI found the disk with my old pictures on it (from 2002 perhaps?) and wanted to share with you. I’m pretty sure I’ve posted these pictures before, so bear with me, ok? Mostly for my mom and sister: I still have one of those kilts. I tried to get Ari to wear it but she […]

Beautiful Sunday
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, friends, making stuff is goodI just got back from the briefest visit ever from Nicole. Please feel free to go to her shop and buy lots of stuff. She had a necklace for me that is so incredible, every detail of it is amazing, thanks Cole. I just need to figure out how it’s worn to show off all […]
