Happy First Birthday our sweet Eli!!  Thanks to our daughter we were able to share his birthday celebration via Skype.  Bad Nonnie only sent clothes.  I swear Eli gave me the stinkeye when he got to the socks.  But when when your feet are warm little man you’ll thank ME!! Happy Birthday!!!!! I love you!! Updating My SEO Because Even the Internet Needs a Good Declutter If you’ve been poking around peanutbutterandwhine.com lately and thought, “Huh, something feels different,” congratulations. Your instincts are sharp and possibly paranormal. I’m deep in the process of updating my SEO. Not the glamorous kind of update where confetti falls and Google personally thanks me, but the gritty, behind-the-scenes kind where old posts get dusted off, links get refreshed, and keywords are gently coaxed into behaving better. Think less makeover montage, more haunted house cleanup. While revisiting early posts, I discovered something unsettling. Many of the original photos and videos have completely vanished. Not broken links. Not corrupted files. Gone. Poof. Into the digital ether. This can only confirm one thing: peanutbutterandwhine.com is haunted. There is no other explanation. Sure, it could be old hosting changes, platform migrations, or me being wildly optimistic about my organizational skills a…

I’ve been in a very creative mode lately.  I went to the Michaels.com site and found a project I wanted to try.  I convinced my Mom we should try this. This was so much fun!  So here is my canvas.  Tomorrow I plan to add a couple of photographs of my Grandbabies.  I’ll be sure and post a ‘done’ picture. But for now…. here is my small canvas.  (I really REALLY need more stencils for this to work right, but for now I like it.)

Yeee haaa!!  We have PICTURE!!! We replaced our tv. A couple of months ago our TV went out… then a couple of weeks ago we lost yet another TV (the one we borrowed from our son? It let out the magic smoke. BAD smoke!) The new TV is GREAT!!!! Great picture! Nice big screen! Everything is great except, all that’s on is Charlie Sheen. It’s a train wreck I can’t NOT watch! You think when he actually GETS clean he will look at these interviews and think “WTF was THAT?!?! Why didn’t someone stop me?!?” or will it be more “Hey, in Hollywood any publicity is good publicity”.

Not only did I have to sit in a hospital all day watching DH look like a pincushion with wires…. but he made me MISS National Peanut Butter Lovers Day!!!!!  Oh, the humanity!!!! This isn’t something you can EVER get back!!!! DH did well with the heart reset, doctor didn’t let me work the paddles. (I did almost have the nurse convinced though). I was 100% sure DH was in PERFECT hands when the Dr. walked in and DH asked if he was the anesthesiologist. As straight faced as I’ve ever seen and without skipping a beat, the doctor said “No, but I did stay at a Holiday In last night” Now, DH is back to the waiting game and constant blood work.  I would swear his veins have GOT to be empty by now!!
