Wednesday, May 7th, 2008This week’s WFMW is all about what DOESN’T work. Last week I promised to share my green tea frapp recipe, and the reason I came up with it is because of what doesn’t work for me: paying too much for those tea drinks at my local Big Bucks coffee shop.
I gave it a name that’s […]
The Ways of the Lawn
Thursday, May 1st, 2008When I wrote about the ginormous boxes in our backyard (which have since gone to the ginormous recycling bin) I taunted poor BusyDad with my oh so green and beautimous lawn.
His new grass was looking mighty fine, but now it’s kind of pitiful.
Sorry dude.
Keeping a nice lawn in an area that’s usually bone dry isn’t easy, and I never anticipated […]
Going Green…Tea That Is
Wednesday, April 30th, 2008Although my love of coffee is well documented (here, here and here) I do enjoy a good cup of tea as well. Green tea in particular is loaded with all sorts of wonderful antioxidants, which we know is a good thing. The problem is that green tea isn’t exactly my cup of tea favorite.
The green […]
Some Like It Cold (Frapper’s Delight)
Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008In my last WFMW post I mentioned that it would probably take me all week to find my frap-style coffee recipe. I wasn’t kidding. I found it Tuesday afternoon, and I’m oh so glad I did even if it means writing this late at night.
This recipe goes by the basic assumption that you’ve
1.) Got leftover coffee.
2.) Taken the […]
Fight the Frump - McSteamy Style
Friday, April 18th, 2008Wrinkles. Fine lines. Creases. Call them what you will. No one wants them, but like an uninvited guest they show up anyway. I’m not talking about wrinkled faces, though. I’m talking about wrinkled clothes.
I make no excuses for the fact that I don’t like to iron and I go to great lengths to avoid it. […]
Some Like it Cold
Wednesday, April 16th, 2008It’s no secret to anyone who knows me how much I loooove coffee. I’ve bared my java loving soul right here about how I don’t like to waste a single precious drop.
We have friends over regularly, so I make a large pot of coffee and keep it hot in a thermal caraffe. Often I end […]
The Nuclear Option Revisited
Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008This week’s WFMW over at Rocks in My Dryer is a Greatest Hits Edition. I’m looking forward to reading everyone’s “best of” posts.
Because I haven’t had this blog up for very long, my “oldie but goodie” isn’t really all that old. I’m wiping the teensy bit of dust off and reposting my favorite:
The Nuclear Option
Just […]
Turn the ‘Tude Around
Wednesday, March 26th, 2008My aunt has been visiting and was so sweet to take us to dinner last night. All through dinner I couldn’t help but notice a cute little baby girl at the table next to us. She was around six or seven months old, sitting in a high chair fussing her cute little head off. She […]
There’s a Party Goin’ On Around Here
Tuesday, February 19th, 2008Both of my daughters have summer birthdays. Late summer birthdays. The part of summer that’s hot, hot, HOT. If I’d been the plan ahead type, I doubt I would have planned it that way. We left it up to God and took what we got. I believe we got a pretty great deal (and some […]
What Would MacGyver Do?
Wednesday, February 13th, 2008As Christians, we’re called to follow the example the Lord Jesus set for us. It’s not always easy, but thankfully He gave us His Word and the Holy Spirit to guide and direct us. Reminding myself of what Jesus would do (or not do) in situations helps keep me on the right path. Whoever thought […]
