MamaBlogger365 - My Girlfriend, Cooking by *Dr Mama* Amber Kinser

Cooking and I, well, let’s just say we have a complicated relationship. I mean I do love her, I do. But when calling up descriptors of us as a couple, clichés like absence makes the heart grow fonder and familiarity breeds contempt seem to fit better than, say, you’re the light of my life or you make everything make sense when you’re near me.

What I like, as I’ve noted in a previous post about good intentions, is planning. I like thinking about Cooking and planning what our time together will be like, but once the day finally arrives to actually DO something with her, well, I have a harder time with that. We work better long distance, I think. Do you know a couple like that? They’re fine as long as they’re not together all that much? Maybe you ARE part of a couple like that, so maybe you know exactly what I’m talking about. I mean there are occasions, when we’re together, and especially when we’re alone, that I can really get into her. And it’s those occasions that I try to keep in mind on days when a meal I’ve prepared rather tanks, or days when everyone in the house is suffering from some spat of sorts she and I have had. I feel like defending our relationship by saying, Hey, it’s not always like this! Sometimes we’re really good together! You don’t know her like I do!

We spent a very sexy evening together before the holidays, making gifts for some friends, mixing it up, rolling it out, you know, things were getting pretty hot. Lots of attention to the details, if you know what I mean, not rushing anything. My hands all up in that business, taking the temperature of things, taking a taste now and again. A little sweet stuff, a little instrumental holiday music playing in the background—some Celtic and some jazz, and boy was I ever in the mood. We just stretched it out like that for hours. Not a single thing on my mind but Cooking and whatever she needed to make things work, you know?

MamaBlogger365 - The Road to My House is Paved with Good Intentions (Part 1, I think) by *Dr Mama* Amber Kinser

This is an ode to unfinished business. Broken promises. Good ideas that never made it past the idea stage. Starts whose stops came prematurely. Beginnings with unimpressive endings. If you’re thinking: Wait. That sounds suspiciously like Amber’s life, you’d be right. If you’re thinking: Wait, that sounds suspiciously like my life, you’d be my new best friend. Like AimingLow.com, I’m working here to raise mediocrity to a new level.

First I want to thank my family for staying out of the ingredients that I marked with SAVE FOR RECIPE, like that package of Swiss cheese, even though the cheese molded, I never made the alleged recipe, and I have no idea what recipe that cheese was even for.

But let’s don’t start talking about recipes that never made it past the print stage...

MamaBlogger365 - Those Three Little Words by Jennifer Covello

Let me begin by saying that I do not permit the use of bad language in my home. Even the word that describes the passing of gas is not allowed. If a colorful word is muttered by my children, it usually results in some type of discipline that hopefully instills in them that there is no need for this type of language. Being an author and a lover of words, I know there are a plethora of words for them to choose that don’t cause people to cringe or look away in disgust.
