Covid Life Weeks 86 & 87

Let's be fair. I am a month behind and writing several weeks' posts at once. So yes, the cranky from week 85 continues to carry through. And I'm combining a couple of weeks because I got carried away writing it and because I'm so damned behind again and I have several non-diary blog post ideas … Continue reading Covid Life Weeks 86 & 87 →

But I like my food diary and while I might change the name again...and … Continue reading Covid Life Food Diary Week 81 →

Semi-Quarantined Life Week 77

This was hopefully the last truly hot week this year. Fall is here after all, so I want cool days and even cooler nights. But don't worry, I'll be complaining about the cold before we know it.

Okay, I'm about a month behind writing this journal series. This may mean it's about time to give it up.

Can you believe July is almost over? Schools are going to be starting soon. And there is much debate across the country on how that should look. I won't jump into the politics of said debate.

Semi-Quarantined Life Week 65

We did a little traveling this week, which always changes up our normal eating routine. However, we should get some credit that we made a trip to Arkansas that did not include Taco Bell. Seriously folks, I don't know what it is about traveling south, but we always end up at a Taco Bell. I'm … Continue reading Semi-Quarantined Life Week 65 →

Semi-Quarantined Life…Week 64

Yep, life is a little more open and about to get even more so. I'll tell ya'll more about that soon. But we are still being cautious. We go to places in person, though not indoor dining yet.
