Lovely Little Links
Welcome to Birthday Week! Wherein we celebrate Rachel for the whole week. Is it too much? Well, it’s my blog, so I guess I can talk about myself occasionally. I’m not a person who will tell you offhand “yeah, it was my birthday a week ago…” Nope. I like my birthday. I’m Not Happy it’s being eclipsed by Easter this year, though. Feh.
These are my last days of being 36, so each day will come with a list of 6 things having to do with me. Six days, 6 items per day = 36. And then on 3/22 I turn 37, and there is much rejoicing that my family tends to be long-lived, and so I’m still about 10 years from middle-aged. Woot! Many thanks to my Nanas!
Todays 6 things are 6 things I did for myself today:
- Bought artichokes, my favorite vegetable of all time. Swoon
- Bought daffodils to brighten the house. Forsythia is my favorite spring flower, but they don’t have that in the flower section of the grocery store.
- Slept in until 9:30, then when BG offered to make breakfast, accepted her offer.
- Chatted with a friend on the phone, just for the heck of it
- Took the laptop away from my darling children, just to browse around looking for birthday presents.
- Read a novel by an author I love, even though it meant reading a gasp! Harlequin Romance. It was good, too!
I took the very-helpful BG with me to the grocery store, which made everything much easier. While we were there, I bought 2 packages of cherry tomatoes so I could try making another Cherry Tomato Crisp this week. It worked pretty well last time, though the bread crumbs didn’t really brown. This was the first way my girls liked tomatoes (other than in a sauce), so we need to repeat it! We might want to actually follow the recipe this time, too. heh.

A Gaggle of Girls
About Me: I'm a Mom living a busy life with my husband, 3 girls (9, 7, 4), Celiac Disease, homeschooling, Chronic Lyme Disease which acts like Fibromyalgia, 2 dogs, 1 puppy, 1 cat, and a lot of books & computers in a house up the hill from a New England beach. We eat great, homecooked, allergy safe food due to our food allergies & sensitivities. In my copious free time, I write for all our other web pages and read .

- Current Read Aloud - Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports: Maximum Ride Novel #3, by James Patterson. I read and reviewed this before, and after seeing the website, the girls wanted to hear it. A great tween/young adult fantasy novel with a fantastic female lead!
- Current Audiobook - The Opal Deception (Artemis Fowl, Book 4) by Eoin Colfer. We love this series! Artemis Fowl is a young teen genius and criminal mastermind, and he interacts with the hidden world of the Fairies. A fabulous mix of YA-level suspense, technology, and magic!
