I signed up for the most recent homeschool swap at The Homeschool Post. I was paired up with Susan from A Homemaking Homeschooling Helpmeet, and she sent me a lovely box of goodies. I love getting mail (so long as it isn’t bills), and it was a treat to get a bunch of little presents smack dab in the middle of the week. Thank you, Susan!

Rockford don’t lose that number
Rockford was in (or on his way to/from) Brazil for work for seven days last week. I’ve tried not to get too specific about exactly where we live here at Butterscotch Sundae, but I do feel comfortable sharing this: We’re far, far from the southern hemisphere. It was definitely the longest he’d been away from us, and I think it was probably the farthest away he’s been.
It was a tough week, but there was something that made it infinitely easier on all of us: We were able to talk to him nearly every day, despite the fact that he was on another continent. Before he left, we both signed up for Skype accounts. You can buy credits to use Skype with a phone, but we used the free computer-to-computer calls. The sound is incredibly clear, with only the very occasional hiccup. There’s also a video function, so Rockford was able to see the kids while they chatted. (He doesn’t have a webcam, so we weren’t able to see him. We’ll be remedying that!)
I’d rather he didn’t have to travel at all, but I know that when Rockford’s out of town Skype works so very well to keep us connected.

Not all roads lead to ButterscotchSundae.com, but there are several that do. Here, for example, are a few things that brought people here via Google search in January.

I wonder if I’ve spelled it wrong here somewhere. And I wonder why people are looking for sundeas. Does that mean something slangy and horrible? I don’t really want to find out.
This does not surprise me at all. One of these days, I’ll write a tutorial about How to Make a Grand and Glorious Butterscotch Sundae. Until then, here’s a delicious-looking picture of a sundae.
I’ve made a few Alton Brown recipes, and I’ve also made shredded beef tacos a few times. I have not, though, made them a la Mr. Brown. Maybe I should.
Until about 2 minutes ago, I didn’t know that Bananarama was anything other than a band with an excellent name. But now I know that it’s also a gross-sounding cocktail. I have no love for bananas.
I have no idea what this means. Judging from Google’s search results, it doesn’t mean anything at all.
Other Strange and Wonderful Searches
Honey. It works really well.
