I’m a dreamer. I always have been. In some ways that has made my life more difficult, because I have all these ideas about what I want to do with my life. With so many dreams it’s sometimes difficult to pick one, or to pick one over another. Most of the time I end up [...]

trying to do my part
Last night I bought a replacement for my leather coat. While I don’t see this coat as beautiful, like I did my leather one, it is comfortable, looks nice, and feels soft (I love soft things!). And it feels quite good to know that no animals died to make this one.
I also went to go [...]

one step at a time
I’m on my way to get rid of the leather products in my everyday items. I now have a fabric wallet and checkbook cover, and have ordered a new purse (even though my current purse is fabric, it’s falling apart, so the “accomplishment” is that my new purse isn’t leather).
Even thought the wallet and the [...]

subtle changes
I made the decision to become a vegetarian (eat vegetarian?) over a year ago. I made that decision for several reasons. The first was that I didn’t eat much meat in the first place, and when I did eat it I only did so because I thought I should, not because I actually craved it [...]

CSA – Community Supported Agriculture
My work tends to have magazines in the bathroom stalls for people to read. I normally don’t bother, but occasionally I’ll take a peak at one if I see something interesting on the cover.
For the last week there has been a local magazine in there (talking about local stores, events and stuff). I never took the [...]

I now have super speed!
I got my cable internet installed on friday. But it didn’t go smoothly.
My wireless adaptor software caused a conflict with my virus program. When I restarted the computer I got the blue screen of death. I’ve never had a blue screen on this computer before (on other computers yes, but never on this one).
So I [...]

sleep, finally
I was finally able to get a good night of sleep. I was so tired that I went to bed at 9:30 and slept right up until my alarm went off at 6:30. A blessed 9 hours of sleep! I did actually wake up at 5, and I was afraid that I wasn’t going to [...]

super speed!
I’m having cable internet installed this friday! After deciding that I was frustrated with dial-up, I made the appointment to have it installed.
I have a laptop, so I can’t just hook up the cable to it. So I had to go out and purchase a wireless router/modem. Then I realized that I also needed an [...]

EbN Updates – My Recipes
I’ve finally updated the Recipes page with my Veggie Soup, and Potato Mushroom Chowder.
These were completely created by me. For the Veggie Soup I didn’t even have a recipe. I just threw together whatever sounded good.
For the Potato Mushroom Chowder I looked on the web for other chowder recipes, found what they had in common, [...]

soup update
So I made my soup over the weekend. It turned out pretty well. It’s still missing something, but I’m not sure what. I might need to add a small amount of sugar. Only like a 1/4 tsp for the whole 12 cup pot. Maybe. I don’t know exactly what it needs, but next time I make [...]

EbN updates
Being that I’ve been thinking about food and recipes today, I thought I would create a new Recipes page. I will only list recipes that I have tried and like. I’ve started with a great Slow Cooker Lasagna recipe. It is easy to make, and is oh so good!
As I try out new recipes [...]

soup if you please….
For those of you that don’t know (which means you haven’t read my “about me” page, shame on you! ) I’m a vegetarian. I made the actual decision about a year ago, but I had been eating *almost* vegetarian before that anyway. I would really only eat meat when I had thoughts like [...]
