the christmas quilt picture story of 2007

December 21, 2011

Welcome to the Fifth Annual Posting of the Christmas Quilt Picture Story. This quilt was given to me at my first baby shower.

why i never travel out of the country

January 31, 2011

Today I went and had a passport picture taken. Because the camera at our local post office has been out of order for years, we stopped by a nearby CVS drug store to complete the photo step of the passport renewal process. It was then that I realized what a difference 13 years makes in [...]

when i got airbrushed like a super model

October 4, 2010

A really, really exciting opportunity has arisen that I will be kicking off on Tuesday with a BIG GIVEAWAY, but secrets aren’t really my specialty. A couple weeks ago I met Courtney Robbins who started a clothing company, Gypsy & Co. Gypsy is sold via home parties like you would go to for Pampered Chef, [...]

potluck sans rhyme or reason

April 26, 2010

I know that is kinda the point of potluck… POTLUCK: now with 73% more randomness! Does that mean that there is still 27% non-randomness? Let’s take a little look at what brought readers to the Nirvana. Most of my recent visitors have sought specific information about Pajama Jeans, Target Cakes and The World’s Smallest Horse. [...]

Some things should just stay in Vegas

September 28, 2009

Blog-Stedman and I went to Las Vegas last week. It was a planned trip that we agonized over for a few weeks to assure that we could afford to go. It is no shock to those who know us that our approach to gambling is a bit different. Blog-Stedman is a low risk taker and [...]

Do the Mondays never end Potluck

June 15, 2009

It really seems like it has been a month of Mondays… Someone should really write THAT song. This summer has been the perfect storm for avoiding being online. Seriously, it has been hard to squeak in a few minutes here and there. It is easy for me when blog-Stedman is working because then I have [...]

I dunno why she backed over the rope

May 25, 2009

* This weekend we celebrated Memorial Day at my parents’ house. They live on a lake. First came this… And then this… Yep, I backed over the tow rope which caused one end to lodge itself into the jet ski motor rendering it useless until someone does major surgery on the motor…that someone is my [...]

Potluck that is mushy and smells funny

March 23, 2009

Yipeee. Let’s hear it for Monday. Goooooooo Monday! *clap**clap* (those cheerleader claps with the outward elbows) Last week was spring break for my family and me which is why there wasn’t much original going on here at the Nirvana. I did more cooking in the last 7 days than I thought humanly possible. Thankfully we [...]
