For those of you who read my sister’s blog…

…I haven’t really had need to post. She’s documenting well (minus the fact that I did not see Canada at all this trip, because that was a JW-fam adventure.) I have also been eating like there’s no tomorrow, will probably not fit in my bridesmaid dress, and am heading to Chicago today for more eating.

But first, I am picking up my laundry from all about the house and trying to pack up my stuff. And I am ill, so apparently my lack of sickness on the west coast has more to do with climate than I thought…

At least I am not the only sick one. I am sitting at the kitchen table with my parents, both sick, both on computers, both taking turns with me coughing.

It’s good to be home.

Jeff comes tomorrow, but not until after a full day of wedding dress shopping and I am sure eating. Then comes more wedding dress shopping, a break for a Groupon use at Nordstrom Rack, and maybe some more food.

Here goes nothing, folks.

Christmas Card 2010

This year, Jeff and I had the idea of recreating a photograph of my parents that I love. Conveniently, I look exactly like my mother, so it worked out pretty well…

Something beautiful.

Posted on December 13, 2010 by Jennie Palluzzi

Last night, Corelyn and Melissa came over. Corelyn and I blogged. We were finishing up our little project.

******

I made baked ziti for dinner. I pulled out a cookbook (not PW) and modified based on what I had in my kitchen (only one egg, less than half a container of ricotta, you get the picture.) I used a log of mozz.

*****

No one took a photo. No fanfare. No frills. Just baked ziti.

*****

It was still beautiful.

*****

It was ready in 25 minutes. It fed three of us. More than half was left for this week’s lunches. And for dinner tonight.

*****

Tonight I ate leftovers. Half a brick of brie. A handful of grapes. Three stalks of celery.

Break time. Holiday time.

Camp Waterloo Reunion

Posted on December 3, 2010 by sorellaaglio

I was thinking about the up-and-coming holidays, and how I am going home for a bit, which is very exciting, and I realized that I haven’t been to Camp Waterloo in a year! A year, people! Ridiculous. Because of travels to Connecticut and Chicago, I’ve avoided the mitten for a full twelve months. Terrible! Despicable! Horrendous!

So I reminisced for a while, reminding myself of what I have to look forward to…
