Midnight Snack

Peach
Water
Cinnamon on Toast
Milk

I was tired at 9 pm.


I was more tired at 10 pm.


I was uncomfortable and my belly was in the way at 11 pm.


At 12 am I considered going to bed.
At 12:10 am I dove into the covers. They were so inviting, and I felt all cuddly and sleepy until Mr. Wilson came in and adjusted the fan in the window for a few minutes. And then a few minutes more. And then stopped.

And then we talked about saving money. And about rent. And about saving money on rent.

At 12:40 am I looked at the clock and thought, "I will most likely still be awake at 1. That is too late for me."

At 1:01 am I realized I was hungry and thought of cinnamon toast.
At 1:08 am I knew I wouldn't be able to sleep until I went pee.
At 1:09 am Mr. Wilson said maybe I would sleep if he stopped talking to me.
At 1:10 am I promised myself cinnamon toast at 3:00 am if I was still awake.
At 1:12 am I decided that if Mr. Wilson was not talking to me, I might as well go pee.
At 1:13 am I had to get a drink of water.
At 1:13 am I decided I could turn on the light.
And if I turned on the light I could see the toaster.
And if I got myself some toast, I would need some cinnamon.
And if I got toast with cinnamon, I would need a glass of milk to go with it.
Now I am going to go pee again.
And I am going to bed.
But I am not tired.
The End.


Maybe I will be back . . .





Good Night.

Granola Recipe adapted from a Smitten Kitchen Recipe

My friend just made these and gave ME some!  I feel so honored!  They were really crispy and clustery- new word?  So I'm sharing them with you.  Love, Paige   6 c. Old Fashioned Oats 2 c. shredded coconut 2 c. Rough chopped Almonds (I pulsed in the food processor 5-6 times) 1 c. Wheat Bran 1 t. kosher salt 1 t. cinnamon Combine all dry ingredients then add these wet ones. Stir until covered. 1/4 c. Olive Oil 1 c. pure maple syrup 3 egg whites  Whip until they are frothy and pour into oat mixture. Stir until combined.  Spread on a lined baking sheet, pressing it down gently. Bake for 40 minutes at 300. Turn large portions of granola like you are flipping a pancake. (trying to keep it clustered) Bake for 15 more minutes at 300. Check to see if its golden brown all over. If there are any patchy spots. Turn the granola one more time and bake for 5 minutes.  Let it cool and crispify on the baking sheet. Enjoy. Or...

A Pregnant Post by Paige about Pregnancy

Here's the belly progression: 6 Months 8.5 Months Warning! This post may contain personal musings about pregnancy. It may read like a journal. It may contain baby excitement and overall feelings of joy. So I have been stepping on things lately. Mostly toys. How is this possible, you ask? Those of you familiar with my adroit walking skills may be puzzled at this point. I know I was until I took a shower this morning. And I couldn't see my feet at all; not a hint of them, no toes, nothing, not even when leaning forward could I see anything but a belly button sun on the horizon of a large earth belly. And that is why I've been stepping on things. Thomas' toy hammer, a plastic giraffe, the zipper of John's coat . . . The loss of my peripheral vision going down is apparently complete. I can't see where I am stepping! What a frightening feeling. I have also been walking into common household objects with my belly. Doorknobs and chairs. Major medial disco...

Myrtle Beach

Recently we moved to Myrtle Beach, SC.  It has been quite the adventure so far, including moving across the country by car and being out of our home for 9 days before receiving our new house keys.  We have been to the urgent care a couple times and the hospital getting a finger glued back together and a forehead stitched up.  We drove between storms of snow and tornadoes, safely arriving in what we Wilsons consider summer weather, but we have been told to wait until July for the real humidity and heat. Our charming house is twenty years old and very cute.  It has kitchen dining and living rooms downstairs and bedrooms up. It was getting a little awkward when we purchased our electric lawn mower online and then waited several days for it to show up. We have made new friends with our culdesac neighbors, church members, and cub scouts. One of our favorite things is our neighborhood pool at the end of our street, six houses down.  We are really happy that Spen...
