A quick word…

July 25, 2011

I’ve hit a blogging bump in the road with the sudden death of our desktop computer mid week last week. Yes, we still own a desktop, and yes, it’s the computer where all of my photos live. The photos are backed up, but not having my photo editing system is throwing me off… So stay [...]

So I guess I’m sort of a bad blog author (blog mommy?) because I didn’t realize that 990 Square had turned 2 until after the fact. You would think the calendar reminder with the blog’s birthday would help me out, but no go. But it’s okay, because I bought the blog a really nice birthday [...]

So here we are and it’s almost July. And I’ll admit, I haven’t been cooking too many new or exciting things lately. Not that I haven’t been cooking, just that it hasn’t been very blog worthy.

We had quite the exciting weekend here at the Ratskellar! On Friday afternoon, my sister, Kori, and her boyfriend Larry, arrived at my house to head to my cousin’s wedding.

I’ve just taken a big step in my life–and I feel the need to share! Earlier this year (late Spring/early Summer) I started running for real again. I say *for real* because for the better part of the last decade, I’ve only dappled in running as part of my normal workout routine. In high school, [...]

In honor of Maryland’s Buy Local Challenge Week, I’d like to talk a little bit about why I buy local. Buying local. It’s something that’s very near and very dear to my heart.
