(27/366) Nothing like spending a Friday night watching a depressing Holocaust movie. I read the book a couple of weeks ago on way out here and I thought the film adaptation was pretty good. The French know how to do it I guess.

(25/366) Apparently there’s some truth in all the mocking I get about being an old lady at taekwondo. Or the two-a-day workouts are finally getting to me, but on Tuesday I pulled my hamstring. So now I’m icing up the old leg so I can heal quickly and make sure I can keep getting beaten [...]

(24/366) I mean, if I had the talent and the patience to actually draw that picture, it would be pretty awesome. Instead I have a phone that has a sweet app called Paper Camera that makes photographs look like drawings. There are a whole bunch of different filters that make the photo look like a [...]

I wish I had a fun anecdote or something clever to say about these cupcakes. But I don’t. But really? Do these cupcakes need an amusing quip? I mean, they are CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER BANANA cupcakes. But these are seriously, ridiculously easy. Start with your favorite peanut butter cake recipe. Don’t have one? You can [...]

(23/366) Elise made us barley risotto with roasted sweet potato and cannellini beans for dinner tonight. Because Elise is awesome. As I walked in the door today Elise was just getting started with dinner. I would definitely tell you how she made it, except I fell asleep on the couch five minutes after she told [...]

(22/366) The Abels came over today to watch the Ravens face the Patriots in the AFC Championship game. Can you figure out which team they were rooting for? How about which team Elise was rooting for? (I’m going to wager a guess that this is the most football Elise has watched all year.) Anyways, it’s [...]

Elise and I are doing a puzzle. Can’t you tell? Puzzles are one of my favorite indoor activities. I’ve been big into jigsaw puzzles ever since I was a little kid. These days I like to do those really big puzzles, 2000 pieces minimum, but preferably more. I dream someday of doing the 18000 piece [...]

(20/366) Elise is here! She’s going to stay with us for the next six weeks. She came toting a giant bag of gummi bears and a giant bag of chocolate covered gummi bears, so I think she can stay. I have big plans for the time she’s here. Most of these plans involve exploiting her [...]

(19/366) …our first spin class! A couple of weeks ago my friend Mel decided we should become gym fiends. However, due to our extremely awesome lifestyles, it turns out the only time we can really make it to the gym is at 6:00 AM. Which means waking up at 5:30 AM. Which means…it’s very dark [...]

(18/366) Sometimes, you just really have to enjoy your bread. Can you guess what kind of food we had for dinner? Andrew did the heavy lifting tonight. I…preheated the oven to 400 degrees and then forgot to actually put the naan in the oven for the 1.5 minutes it was supposed to be in there. [...]

I’d like to introduce you all to Sherlock. He’s a new addition to our household and already I’m smitten. For some reason he sort of reminds me of Eve from WALL-E. In case you can’t tell, Sherlock is a space heater. And in case you can’t tell from the photo, the space that he is [...]
