My husband and I rarely fight. I can probably count on both hands (and maybe a foot or two) how many times we've fought in the last 11 years. Neither of us likes confrontation, we're both pretty easy going, both of us appreciate the other too much to pick on the little things. So we don't fight. Unless we do and if we do then it's big.

Monday Menu with Lunches

I'm trying out a few recipes from my new cookbook Make It Fast, Cook it Slow. So far I've made two very simple recipes from the book with great success (Pot Roast and Whole Entire Chicken). The Lunches listed are the ones I'm packing for the kids for school. It'll be a cold week so I'm hoping to use the Thermoses. All lunches also include a fruit and bag of snacking veggies.

reclaiming the office
I have a beautiful home office upstairs. When Gunther was still working from home we ordered custom fitted office furniture and then years later bought some nice chairs. My desk is right next to the window and the room has plenty of light and is large and comfortable.

You Sound Like a Broken Record
I said that to Chloe the other day. She didn't understand. When I told her we used to listen to music on a record player and that sometimes the needle got stuck she was horrified to think we were using a needle on a poor record (Chloe and needles do not have a happy history).

All I Want For Christmas...
Is my brother home.
He's been hospitalized with heart issues and lungs half filled.
They'd managed to empty his lungs and are now assessing heart/liver/kidney damage.
The good news is that he is now out of ICU and off machines.
The bad news is that he is still in hospital (which is in all honesty the BEST place for him to be right now) and that he missed Christmas with his family.
Adam is THE Christmas guy and he was SOOOO missed. I truly hope he'll be home soon.
I appreciate all who have prayed for him and continue to keep him in your thoughts.
Here's hoping we get him home by the New Year.
