Cath In Color

We’ve run across a bit of bad luck this week.  On the first day of construction, I had to back the truck out of the garage and when I went to do this, it wouldn’t go into reverse.  I took it over to the auto shop and they told me that the transmission is going [...]

Our weekend has come to an end and we managed to get everything out of the kitchen just under the wire.  It was a lot of work but now we’re excited to get this project underway.  Tonight we enjoyed our last meal (Nate’s pizza) which was my special request, because I will truly miss his [...]

Today we finished packing up the entire kitchen and living room.  What an exhausting day.  I never want to move and if we should ever have to, Nate & I decided that we’d definately hire movers to do the job.  Tomorrow will be our last meal using real plates and glasses….we move to paper products starting on Monday.  Now [...]

Another Thanksgiving has come and gone and once again, I am very, very full!  This year we had an “Italian” Thanksgiving with all the fixings.  Nate does most of the cooking for these meals and this year he outdid himself again.  The turkey was so incredibly moist with perfect seasoning in every bite.  Also at [...]

Tonight I went out with my girlfriends from high school.  There are about 10 of us in our group and we get together once a month, if you can make it.  We typically meet at a restuarant and last night we were at The Outback.  It’s always a good time being together with this group [...]

Yay, the Vikings won today.  That’s a big deal around here because they really stink this year so we’ll take anything we can get.  Nate’s put a positive spin on the Vikings by realizing if they keep losing, they’ll fire our coach and hopefully we’ll have a better season next year.  Good thinking hon! 
Nate is [...]

I’m really getting tired of these cloudy November days.  I was all gung-ho about getting out today and doing some shopping, getting Kelly’s hair cut and maybe even cleaning off the deck.  All of that changed when Kelly came down with a stomach-ache in Walgreens and we had to head back home.  Now I’ve lost [...]

I’m so glad it’s Friday.  I wasn’t feeling very good this morning and was worried I was coming down with some sort of a “bug” that would ruin my weekend.  Turns out, by mid-afternoon I was feeling better.  Must have been that “not wanting to go to work” bug.
Nate talked to our contractor today and [...]

Tonight I took Kelly over to church for her First Reconcilliation (aka – confession).  There were 157 kids going through this with 10 priests strategically planted all around the church.  They do this face-to-face with the priest and are much more prepared than we were as kids.  Kelly was very nervous and chose to go [...]

I just finished eating one of my favorite homemade pizza’s, a thin crust proscuitto and asparagus pizza.  Nate makes the best pizza’s in the world, and I do mean in the world.  I keep telling him that he could easily open a pizzaria with his homemade gourmet pizza recipes that he’s developed.  They’re so fabulous [...]
