  1. It's 26 degrees outside and I'm grilling dinner on the Weber. It's my Midwest roots - no day is a bad day for a charcoal grilled dinner.
  2. Public Service Announcement: A mixture of peroxide and Dawn dishsoap works miracles with red wine on white linen.
  3. I took my purse (instead of my diaper bag) to an appointment this morning - found 23 cheerios while looking for my insurance card.
  4. "I don't have a birthmark, so I wasn't born." (Toddler Tweet, after learning about a baby cousin's birth mark.)
  5. It's Christmas decorating day!
  6. I've started adding a splash of heavy cream to my chocolate milk. A very bad habit, I admit, but probably worth it.
  7. I've been eating natural peanut butter so long, I forgot how delicious it is with the added sugar and hydrogenated oil. Can I go back now?
  8. "I'm just feeling WHINEY today Mom." (Toddler Tweet. At least I know what kind of day it's going to be!)
  9. I really must finish my Shutterfly photobook Christmas gifts today or they might not ship in time. Just...can't...find...perfect...photos!
  10. Is 10 pounds of mashed potatoes too much for a dinner for 20 people? I feel like I might be eating mashed potatoes for... months.
  11. "I like your tummy today Mom. It's really giant." (Toddler Tweet, speaking the simple truth.)
  12. My goal for today: get my work email inbox under 1000 messages.
  13. I think I am the only person I know that can get a cut while opening a cardboard box (and it was from the cardboard, not the scissors).
  14. As much as I love fancy schmancy teas, I always go back to Bigelow's Constant Comment in the fall - it's orange and spicy and perfect.
  15. Reports from my sister a week into her car adventure with a 10-month-old say the quiet book is serving well! http://wp.me/pxtBg-aL
  16. "Mom, let's save some cookies for Daddy because he like cookies. Boys love cookies." (Toddler Tweet, wise beyond her years.)
  17. I am still listening to Bon Iver. I can't stop. This album feels like fall.
  18. If I could tweet some chocolate chip cookies to you I would.
  19. What can I say? I can be charmed by fruit.
  20. I pulled an apple out of the bag that still had a leaf attached to the stem. For some reason I found this very charming.
