Busy Weekend

It coulden't be avoided. Well, I guess it could have, but it would have required death and I wasn't quite ready to go to that extreme. On Friday, I turned 30. Oy. It even LOOKS old. My husband and some of my sweet friends helped to soften the blow by having a party to celebrate. Later that night, Kari and I went out and enjoyed a night on the town. I wore completely impractical shoes and stayed out way too late and loved every minuite of it.

Saturday morning my sister was sweet enough to take the girls for a few hours so I could relax and recover. Matt and I enjoyed a quiet morning drinking coffee and watching the rain fall.


That afternoon we went over to my friend Sarah's new house. It is lovely and I can't wait to see it finished. I am so glad she left the East coast to come back to Colorado!

Sunday morning we considered going to church, decided it was too much work and enjoyed another morning drinking coffee together on the couch. We got supplies ready and did some prep work for making sushi with some friends for the evening. I am not really that big of sushi fan, but must say dinner was very good.

The weekend was over and I was not exactly rested. Matt packed his bags and headed to NYC for the week so it is just the girls and I holding down the fort. Maybe next weekend we can just do nothing. HA! that will never happen.

Working on my Domestic Goddess Badge

I looked at the to-do list I made last week and am happy to say I can cross off almost everything on it. It only took me 2 weeks. I think I either need smaller lists or more time. Here is what I have been up to: -I have made 2 loaves of banana oat bread, 1 batch of blackberry strawberry freezer jam, 1 loaf of gluten free bread. -From 12 juiced grapefruit I made grapefruit curd and a pan of grapefruit bars. -My garden is almost completely done, including a upgrade in size. I am growing tomatoes, onions, peppers, potatoes , cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower , herbs, lettuce, spinach , green beans, snap peas, cucumbers, and kohlrabi. -I hung herbs to dry -I have folded massive amounts of laundry...with more yet to do. All washed with my homemade laundry soap. -I recovered the "green monster" which is another post entirely. -I added a sitting area in my bedroom, where I am currently sitting, so that my laptop has a home other than the kitchen table. - I got a new dining room table a...

Sugar Free and Me

Not so long ago, I went to the Doctor. It had been a while. The last time I had seen a doctor I was having a baby. Since the trip was long over due, I had all my blood work and such done. Everything came back just fine...well, almost everything. The same genes that make me a celiac are also the ones they see in diabetics. Double whammy crappy genes. My fasting blood sugar came back at 99. You are considered pre-diabetic at 100. Ugh. I have been successfully ignoring this information for months. Last week I went to the doctors again, twice in one year! This may be a non-pregnant record for me. I hate going to the doctor, it is expensive and inconvenient and they always find a reason to poke you. I was discussing with my doctor my up-coming surgery (don't freak out, it isn't anything big, just a bump in my hand) and she asked about my over all health. She asked how I was handling my blood sugar. Funny thing about doctors, they don't really want to hear about how you find the ...

Life

I haven't really updated on what the Crocker fam has been up to lately. Maybe because my life is just not that exciting? I do have some cute new pictures. So, lets see, we went up into the mountains (well, Evergreen) and went leaf peeping, walked around the lake and ate at Beau Joes (they have gf pizza). We went on a nice bike ride with the girls. Matt and I had our 9 year anniversary , he was soooo sweet and had flowers delivered and chocolates from See's. We are going to celebrate Grandma and Grandpa's 60 th anniversary this Friday. That about covers it! Here are some pictures!
