    Weekend Snaps | Earl the Pug

    April 24, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    T minus 25 minutes until The Good Wife, which means I’m short on time and, to be honest, completely lacking in exciting topics to write about at this particular moment. So instead, I bring you … Earl the Pug photos!  Did you know … Earl is named after Teacher Man’s football hero,…

    I totally wanted to ditch work today and stay home to watch all the Prince coverage and tributes on TV. I was responsible, though, and instead DVR’ed CBS This Morning so I could at least watch the interview with Sheila E. later. I am also fairly sure you don’t need another…

    Turkey Tuesday: Southwest Turkey Chopped Salad

    April 19, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    The view outside my window on this Turkey Tuesday – gray, cloudy, slightly rainy, and cool – is whispering soup or mac-n-cheese or something comfort-y/warm. But I refuse to listen, people. It’s April and it’s spring and I’m in the mood for a light, crisp, salad with tons of protein,…

    Weekend Snaps | Rustic Garden

    April 17, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    It’s late Sunday afternoon as I write this latest post. Teacher Man is napping, Joe is video gaming (Terraria, I believe), and Earl the Pug is trying to find a comfortable spot on the floor by my feet so that he catches some of the warm breeze coming through the…

    High Five For Friday | Getting Springy!

    April 14, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    You guys. I’m having one of those evenings where I am quite literally exhausted. I feel like I can’t expend any more energy than I already have today. I got my kiddo to school, I worked, I put supper on the table, I’m done. (Okay, I ordered pizza and opened a…

    Turkey Tuesday: Cheesy Turkey Pull-Apart Sliders

    April 12, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    The clock is ticking, but technically it’s still Tuesday in these parts so I’m safe in posting a new turkey recipe. Yes! I hate missing a week – I know you all are depending on me to share a new turkey recipe every week. 😉  After a day of meetings,…

    The Young Man

    April 11, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    I had a moment last night. I was sitting in the piano room, listening to Joe practice his percussion and I looked over at him and just, well … sigh. Who is this young man who is nearly as tall as me? Who looks so grown up? Who is working…

    Favorite Spring Sandals

    April 11, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    I don’t know about you, but I really, really want to go shoe shopping. (Like if I lived closer to DSW Shoe Warehouse, I’d be in a big trouble.) I think it’s the change in season – or at least the expected change in season, since it’s been unusually cold here…
