As I mentioned in my Coffee Date post, last week was pretty rough. So, come Friday night, I was ready to not cook dinner. Beer Geek and I had a gift certificate to a local restaurant and a few restaurants had extended DC Restaurant week, so we headed out for a decadent meal. Because I’m trying…

Sometimes you really need a coffee date with friends
Happy Saturday! This post is publishing WAY before I get up today. It’s been a long hard week and I’m sleeping in. Anyways, I’m joining up with my friends Deborah, Coco, and Lynda for a virtual coffee date. If we were having coffee, I’d tell you that this week was a week of crazy ups and…
5 Snowfessions Friday
Towards the middle of the week, I was so tired of the whole Snowzilla thing, that I went outside and shoveled snow that didn’t have to be moved. I figured it was better than sitting inside being mad that my street hadn’t been plowed. Speaking of not being plowed, by Tuesday I could have gotten out…
Snowzilla hit DC this weekend
As I mentioned on Thursday when I was “thinking out loud about winter”, there was a big storm AKA Snowzilla slated to hit the Washington DC area this past weekend. I have to admit that I had a fair amount of skepticism about exactly how bad the storm would be. We do get the occasional…
A very merry coffee date
Happy Saturday! I’m sitting here with a cup of coffee, having survived my first holiday party of the season. No, I’m not hungover (I had to drive), just tired. Anyways, I’m joining up with my friends Deborah, Coco, and Lynda for a virtual coffee date. If we were having coffee, I’d tell you that I’m really excited to…
It’s a perfect day for a coffee date!
Happy Saturday! I’m sitting here with a cup of coffee, wondering if there is actually enough coffee in the world to get me through the day. It feels like it’s been raining for years. I know it hasn’t and I know we need at least some of this rain, but I don’t do well with…
Friday Five: #261fearless Ambassadors
TGIF! This has seriously been one of the longest weeks ever. Between the constant coughing, volunteering at Shoo’s school book fair, a doctor appointment, a kid dentist appointment, and soccer practice, I’ve felt like I’ve had no down time. (Or really any time to do any of the 10o0s of things I need to accomplish)….
A (Summer) Day in the Life of MCM Mama
Once again, I’m joining some other bloggers to share a “Day in the Life”. I’ve done a few of these before. I’ve shared a typical school day, a day near the holidays, and a Friday complete with volunteering at Shoo’s school. Since there is no such thing as a typical day for us in the…
Spring? Where are you?
Yesterday turned out to be a glorious spring day. It started off rainy (and I started off whiny), but then the sun came out an it actually got warm. So warm, in fact, that I was overdressed for my run and I opened the windows when I got home. Today it is 44* and rainy…

All opinions are mine alone. #ChangingPrepaid #CollectiveBias We’ve been shaking things up around here – getting rid of cable, turning off the landline, exploring new cell phone options. With suddenly needing at least two more phones (a teenager + a house phone) plus…
13 random things Thursday
My life seems to be going in 1000 directions at once and 13 is my favorite number, so… 1. Yesterday I spent my entire day in snow pants. I put them on early in the day to shovel snow and just never took them off. Why? Because my drafty old house does not do well…
Throwback Thursday and Foodie Pen Pal Reveal
8 years (and 50+ pounds ago) Shoo and I had a deal. He was not to arrive until after Jones’ birthday party and Boo at the Zoo. He obeyed, barely. Three hours after Boo at the Zoo, my water broke. I spent the next 7 hours in mild labor, cleaning my house (in the middle…
