In the salad: mixed summer greens from the farmers market, grown here in town; carrots from my garden; cucumber; radishes; homemade vinaigrette. In the cous cous: sugar snap peas and mint from my garden; cherry tomatoes; toasted pine nuts; golden raisins; sauteed chicken breast; […]

I think everyone on my friends list stopped blogging. Oh well, I am still here, keeping livejournal afloat. For the next ten days, we are supposed to have highs above 80 degrees. I wonder if this means my tomatoes will begin to blush. Sometimes when the baby is squirming around inside me, I am able […]

Today I paid for a pedicure. I can no longer comfortably reach my toes, and it was nice to get a pampering foot soak/scrub/massage. I brought in a polish I just bought, it’s a new Chanel color that is best described as red wine with subtle sparkle. I love it. And their polish has the […]

Last night after dinner, as the sun was setting, we took Kona on a little walk. We ended up at this run-down old quarter mile track that lies well behind the middle school. In the center of the oval, Brian unclipped Kona from her leash, which always makes me nervous, and they ran about for […]

I think I am going to give Boscia skincare a try. It’s cheaper than the stuff I usually use, and on our new budget I will no longer be able to splurge on face cream. Right now I use a Clinique day moisturizer, and La Prairie cleanser and night cream and toner. I’ve been using […]

Mandatory unpaid day off today. Fortunately the weather is perfect, and my cough has slightly diminished. I started my day by going to the OB clinic to do the blood draw for my glucose test. Do I have gestational diabetes? Probably not, but it seems that the test they do for this condition is notorious […]

A nice thing about being home sick: laying on the couch watching the MLB Network (in HD!). They spend the entire evening “peeking” into live game broadcasts all around the country, so I got to watch a White Sox grand slam happen live, and a grand slam being taken away from A-Rod, also live. All […]

My lovely sunny three-day weekend was pretty much ruined by the cold I developed starting Saturday morning and continuing until right now and probably into tomorrow. Lots of violent coughing, aches, a low but very real fever, etc etc. Last night I kind of freaked out as the fever climbed over 100 degrees and I […]
