Can’t sleep. My first instinct is to write. Always has been, even before this blog, before the moosh, before Cody and even before the tumultous years of high school. I have kind of faded into the background in the world of blogging and it’s my own doing.  It’s changed so much since I started almostContinue reading “the vicious cycle of write.”

Let me tell you a little about my life so far in 2010. I get to cook. A lot. Counter space! A fridge that has it’s own zip code! A dishwasher that does everything short of load and unload itself! A kitchen faucet that is more bendy than Sting! It’s spectacular. Three meals in aContinue reading “tonyho, trashkicking and faux snuggies.”

Hi 2010. I’m going to be swearing less. Praying more. Fighting less. Loving more. I’ll also be drinking a lot more water. I’ll be nice to you if you’ll be nice to me. xo, a very tired Casey fresh from 2009.

Cody’s little (well, 24 year old) sister came out to spend the holidays with us. She’s single. Quite the catch. Before she left for Indiana she slipped her number to a hunk at her gym. He ended up texting her last week and they chatted on the phone each evening. Things seemed to be goingContinue reading “blame the dog? nah, it was totally the window.”

I made my first turkey and there is an entire (painfully detailed) Wiki page dedicated to Perry the Platypus. So our Christmas this year involved a turkey and a platypus. I never did get to make a turkey for Thanksgiving, you know, living in a hotel and all. But for Christmas? GOBBLE. So here youContinue reading “perry the turkeypus (plataturkey? plataturkeypus?)”

Heh. Just the title of this post makes my inner voices giggle. I don’t decorate. I’ve been living with bachelor pad furniture for the last 9 years. (Still am!) But I got so many emails asking “HOW DID YOU DO IT?” in regards to the before and afters of my dining room that I’m nowContinue reading “wherein i pretend to give decorating advice.”

Ding dong the bamboo’s done. (And the lighting and the paint.) 6 months. 1 trip to Ikea. 17 breakdowns. 842 sq. feet of cootie free bamboo flooring. At least 20 gallons of paint. My furniture isn’t pretty enough to live here. Heck, I’m barely pretty enough to live here.

You, Moosh, turn Big Three today!  My little girl is growing younger today.  No kindergarten next year.  No learning to ride your bike without training wheels this year.  No learning to play the piano this year.  You are turning Big Three today and going to preschool again next year.  Thank goodness you decided to growContinue reading “Big Three (Five) by Cody.”

Whoops. You move into a new house and time just flies right by doesn’t it? It may be that I’m drowning in boxes. Or that my downstairs ceiling is leaking upstairs toilet water. It may be that I am completely consumed with the fact that I have five light switches that control nothing. Perhaps it’sContinue reading “ladybug ladybug, fly away and die somewhere else.”

I was told to ‘CHILL’ in all caps tonight from my contractor. I can see why the moosh is so smitten kitten with him. (Truth be told she’s moved onto Keith, the do everything and anything man that works for Gene, he has a charming Midwestern drawl.) I can also see why home renovations canContinue reading “our! first! house! (during. part III.)”
