Frog Spot: October 2010
http://frogosphere.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 24, 2010. The closing did finally happen, but not until 4pm Friday afternoon! It went very smoothly. It was in Cooperstown, so afterwards we walked around a bit, and decided to celebrate with dinner at Alex and Ika. They take whole fingerlings, smash them flat, and fry them. Yum! Sam had their house mac and cheese with black forest ham, and I think next time I might order that for myself. It was smooth, smokey, creamy, and probably the best mac and cheese I've ever had. Really. Next week ...

Frog Spot: Soon, my pretties
http://frogosphere.blogspot.com/2010/10/soon-my-pretties.html
Friday, October 8, 2010. Soon, my pretties. A somewhat brief update: The move started smoothly, but in the days following, things quickly fell apart - maybe not so much in terms of 'stuff' but in emotional and physical exhaustion. We closed last Thursday. It was raining steadily, and sometimes heavily, all day. The moving truck and the help of family was set for the next day, so after closing we brought over one car and one truck load. We were soaked. Our cable/tv/internet should be in order this weekend...

Frog Spot: April 2010
http://frogosphere.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 25, 2010. Though it's a bit of an awkward shape and has some 'old house' issues, I love our living room. Last Sunday, I spent the morning dusting and swapping out some wintery stuff (like heavy drapes. I added semi-sheer light cotton drapes for the season (Target). I think they lift the room and make it feel pretty and more seasonally appropriate:. Yes I think if I could ask, "Now where are my linen pruning gauntlets? I might find myself doing yard work more often. Again - whatever. You...

Frog Spot: February 2010
http://frogosphere.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 21, 2010. I am a terrible baker.I've told you. I made a few modifications to the original (courtesy of Food Network Kitchens), but it's one of those recipes that is derived from a classic cookie recipe and so that's one too many stupid links for this lazy blogger. Here's what I did, which clearly is more important:. 2 sticks of butter, browned (melt in a pan over medium heat, and watch and stir until butter turns light brown, like the color of whiskey.then stop cooking it). Updated, tast...

Frog Spot: Close it up, shut it down
http://frogosphere.blogspot.com/2010/10/close-it-up-shut-it-down.html
Friday, October 15, 2010. Close it up, shut it down. We have a new date for closing on our old house - a week from today, 10/22. Send all your good stuff this way that it will not be delayed again, and will just happen and be DONE! If you don't know what city I mean. Anyway, we plan to leave mid-day Wednesday to avoid the worst traffic going in. We'll check in, have our vehicle parked, and set up our display the night before (LOVE when venues let you do this!

Frog Spot: Retiring
http://frogosphere.blogspot.com/2010/12/retiring.html
Monday, December 6, 2010. I've been writing this blog for almost two and a half years - it is the longest informal writing project I've ever undertaken: 177 published posts since July of 2008. Not a lot compared to many bloggers, but certainly a good run for someone that was unsure in the beginning. I still plan to blog, but I'm tired of this one. Blogger's Stats tool outlines some interesting items about this blog:. My top 5 viewed posts:. Besides the US, the most hits have come from:. You might be wond...

Frog Spot: May 2010
http://frogosphere.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 30, 2010. Saturday we had Sam's 4th Birthday Party. His birthday fell on Monday the 24th. We had 8 children under 5, plus a baby girl - I guess that's 9. We also had a Spiderman pinata, and that was a big hit. It was chaotic at times, but everyone had fun, and the meltdowns were brief and controlled. While tearing open gifts, Sam screamed, "This is the best birthday EVER! So even if he's only had four of them, I'll still take it. Posted by S.M.L. Wednesday, May 26, 2010. Now, my supervisor an...
