Space Age Housewife: February 2007
http://thatsloanegirl.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 19, 2007. Ever had a roommate? I wrote this as an exercise on a message board, and it's all too, too true:. You know, it's been almost 22 years, and I'm still a little angry with you. Maybe a lot angry. Maybe I should get over it, but the way you treated me and my belongings was horrendous, and I hope you have managed to grow up and learn some responsibility since then. That jewelry you took with you when did the fly-by-night move? Can I get that back yet? When you told me the police had...

Space Age Housewife: March 2008
http://thatsloanegirl.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 24, 2008. The Space Age Grandchild is well on his or her way now. My daughter had a doctor's appointment today - she's almost 16 weeks and has lost another pound, but as she put it, is "expanding in all the right places." The baby's heartbeat was 160-ish. The old wives' tales will tell you this is a girl, but I'm an old wife, and I'm not sure I believe the tales. This Gramma business looms ever closer. It's really a baby! Posted by Space Age Housewife. Wednesday, March 19, 2008. We flew on ...

Space Age Housewife: October 2006
http://thatsloanegirl.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 31, 2006. Happy Halloween to all who celebrate! I'm looking forward to ham soup for supper, trick-or-treat, then some warm cider with kettle corn and apples while we watch "It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown! Stay warm and be careful. Posted by Space Age Housewife. Tuesday, October 10, 2006. Happy anniversary to me. We've been in Idaho six years now. We left Minnesota early on Saturday morning, October 7, 2000, arriving in Idaho late in the afternoon on Monday, October 9, 2000. For ye...

Space Age Housewife: December 2006
http://thatsloanegirl.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 31, 2006. Strange days it's been recently. December was busy - we threw a party, the oldest Space Age daughter visited for a week, we traveled over Christmas, and we spent three days in a row feasting and celebrating with large crowds of people. There was no one quiet, moving moment, no tiny break in the action when I could allow myself to be washed over with peacefulness, if even for a minute. I'm going to try to take that minute tonight, somehow, at some moment. She spent the day makin...

Space Age Housewife: One of THOSE days...
http://thatsloanegirl.blogspot.com/2008/04/one-of-those-days.html
Friday, April 18, 2008. One of THOSE days. I burned my hand. I made a cake, a beautiful cake using vodka and Kahlua, and it smells like warm heaven. The hot pad slipped when I was pulling it out of the oven, and I have two burns on the palm of my right hand. It stings, and I'm a big baby. It's also hard to type when one's hand is wrapped in bandages. No, I did not consume any of the vodka before pouring it into the batter. No, not the Kahlua either. Now, perhaps, would be a good time for that drink.

Space Age Housewife: Wonderful, Wonderful Copenhagen
http://thatsloanegirl.blogspot.com/2008/04/wonderful-wonderful-copenhagen.html
Friday, April 11, 2008. Wonderful, Wonderful Copenhagen. Choose a city in a country other than your own, and tell us why you would like to visit there. That was the blogroll topic this week. Despite the fact that it was I who came up with this theme, I was stumped on the subject of my own entry. Would I go to Greece - Athens, perhaps? Would I sail the Mediterranean and bake in the hot Greek sun and eat lamb and stuffed grape leaves? Would I go to London? The other day, I watched Hans Christian Andersen.

Space Age Housewife: Sad
http://thatsloanegirl.blogspot.com/2008/04/sad.html
Tuesday, April 08, 2008. My girl left me a text message earlier. We had talked on the phone this evening, and some time afterward, she sent me the message. She wants her Mama. We are separated by some 1500 miles, and while she is halfway through her first pregnancy and in the midst of planning her wedding, I am much too far away. She wants to share these experiences with me. She wants me there. And I want to be. How could I not? Posted by Space Age Housewife. I'm in MN, and if there is *anything* I can d...

Space Age Housewife: January 2007
http://thatsloanegirl.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 09, 2007. We interrupt this program for an important message. It goes without saying that what I miss most about Minnesota is proximity to my family, the important people who helped shape my life and love me no matter what. I must admit, however, that there is something else from Minnesota that I miss with a startling amount of regularity. I want some right now. I want Old Dutch potato chips. And some French onion dip. And a Dad's root beer in a glass bottle. Posted by Space Age Housewife.

http://thatsloanegirl.blogspot.com/2008/04/its-space-age-grandson.html
Monday, April 14, 2008. It's a Space Age Grandson! My older daughter had her ultrasound today, at eighteen weeks of pregnancy. There's no doubt," she said breathlessly afterward. "It's clear. We have pictures. It's a boy! The Space Age Grandson is expected to make his appearance the second week of September or so. Posted by Space Age Housewife. Congrats on the twig -n- berries! You're going to be the greatest space age granny ever! How cute- a baby boy! I'm so excited for you, so wonderful.
