here it is...

As I said on Sunday, it has been quite the week.  Actually, it has been quite the fortnight by this point.  I really need a nap in a major kind of way. 

No, I'm not ready to talk about it.
But I will anyway.
Because I'm a big girl, and my life is NOT ending, and I need to get some sleep and move on with my life and stop being so dramatic.

Are you worried yet?  Don't be.  

in the mean time...

What a week!

What.

A.

Week.

It's been crazy, Kids.  Totally bonkers.

I laughed.
I cried.
Not exactly in that order.

Someone even told me I was wild!

Unfortunately, I need to eat food and do laundry and other responsible things, but until I can catch a moment to fill you in on the deets, here's a picture from this weekend to hold you over :)

Weekly Meditations: Romans 12:12

"Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer."

recent recipes

I've been trying some new recipes lately, and it's lots of fun.  Here's what I've been up to.

(None of these pictures are mine... I think that will be obvious...be sure to check out the recipe links!)

Parmesean Baked Potato Halves from Favorite Family Recipes.

I was pleased that (for once!) they turned out pretty much like they look in the picture.  That never happens for me!

Review and Preview

Amazing how time just gets away from you.  One minute you're enjoying your summer, blogging somewhat regularly, feeling sorta sane and rested.  Then you take a trip, start one too many projects, bite off more than you can chew (me?  no... never), and get kicked in the butt by obscenely hot weather for weeks, and the next thing you know, its the middle of August, school is starting soon (not that you care), and you have a whole summer you haven't told your faithful readers about!

Sorry.  I know you all have been sitting eagerly at your computers, day after day, just waiting to see more dumb pictures of my dog or my latest recipe.

Let's catch up, shall we?  Here are a few summer highlights.

Land's End (Year 3)

Life has been pretty busy lately, so I haven't had time to sweep my floor, much less post pictures and tell y'all  about the nonsense that gone on around these here parts.  I will try to get you caught up.

Let's start with Lands' End.
