Tonight I made a quick-n-easy vanilla ice cream. I made this up on the fly, no printed recipe. (I do that a lot; I make up recipes on the fly but write 'em down so I don't forget.) Total prep time about 30 minutes, but the wait time is 12 hours after putting it in the freezer. Update: I accidentally said whole milk. Turned out I used 2% Milk (Horizon Organic to be exact). Sorry about that! I'm...

I often listen to XMKids in the car with Gaetano. There's a hilarious song by Anita Renfroe called Momisms that comes on every so often. Gaetano doesn't seem to appreciate it near as much as I do of course. I love Momisms more each time I hear it and thought why not share it here on my blog. Enjoy! And for those of you wondering if there are any Dadisms, well Anita's got this for you:

On the way home from school yesterday, my son decided to ask me a question. Here's our conversation for your reading pleasure. Gaetano: Mom, how much does a jet pack cost? Me: A what? A jet pack? (I know what a jet pack is, I was just caught off guard since his question came out of nowhere.) Gaetano: Yeah, you know the ones you wear to make you fly. Me: Yeah, I know what a jet pack is. Well, you...

Nope, we're not buying an RV... Yep, it is true; earlier today Dan asked me to marry him! (A few weeks ago, he quite jokingly asked me in a very thick southern accent, "Wanna git hitched?" To which I said, "Not when you ask me like that!" Hence, the title of this blog post.) Everyone's been asking me, "How'd he propose?" so I'll fill you in... I just returned...

Last night I got home and found I'd forgotten to plug in the power to my MacBook Pro and left it on without putting it to sleep. That's happened before; it usually just shuts down on its own. This time, it went to sleep on its own but the screen looked like it was on a psychedelic journey of some sort. All sorts of shapes everywhere and they seemed to be enlarged portions of apps I had open...

Twittervate ( twi-tər-vāt-ed ) Inflected forms : twittervates, twittervated, twittervating, twittervation Etymology : A combination of the words twitter and aggravated , which is not at all like (and quite opposite of) the Disney-derived term " twitterpated ". Middle English...
