For all of my…one maybe two readers out there…I’m not dead. I was in a bit of a funk. You see, as Charlotte York-Goldenblatt would say, my husband and I are reproductively challenged. Don’t pity. Feel bad, but don’t pity. Keep your pity. Things are moving forward. Hopefully, by year end I will be knocked up.
And hopefully by year end, I will have done more with this blog.
So, in the meantime I gotta tell you about something I’ve done. I’ve joined this farm thing where once a week I get fresh veggies from an organic farm. It kinda sucks because I don’t know what veggies I will get from week to week, but I think that may be a good thing as well. For instance, this week I received chard and collards. My first thought was, “what the hell?” But it turned out to be pretty good. I learned how to freeze chard and collard for use in soups later. You have to blanch them. I also made a rice dish with half the collards which turned out to be good. The Hubby went for seconds so I take that as good. I think this veggie thing will be a good foodie adventure for me, and get some good food into us. If anyone is interested in what I’m talking about, check out www.onestrawfarm.com. Perhaps, the website can help you find a farm like it in your area.
The Pea Family return from Lebanon tomorrow night. The Pea Family is what I call my in-laws for the purpose of this blog. Also, I tend to give names to people in my life if they remind me of something. The Pea Family got the moniker because they reminded me of the story of The Princess and The Pea. I take it a step further…my sister-in-law is Princess Pea. Her husband is Split Pea because he splits his time between work in Hawaii and his wife and kids in Maryland. Pea-Hen is my mother-in-law. She worries and frets.
Where was I going with this? Oh right. They are coming back tomorrow night. Pea-Hen comes back next month. Princess and Split and the girls return tomorrow night. It was kinda quiet for the two and half weeks without them. It’s going to suck because now the girls (one is almost 4 and the other is almost 1) have to get out of their weird phases and get used to us again. Split is going back to Hawaii next Saturday. Princess will be alone for a week. Because….
Next Saturday Hubby and I are off to beautiful Orlando, Florida! Going to visit the Big Mouse. I look forward to getting away from work. And DisneyWorld…I love it! It’s been 8 years since I was there last. Just me and the Hubby. No other family. Just me and him to explore together…without having to compromise with a group. Hubby and I travel very well together so I know we will just have the best time. And if not…well, I plan to blog about it either way.
Because, I’m not dead. I’m back! And I have a new camera. Readers beware!
