We’ll take the train into Penn Station on Tuesday, July 7th and come home on Friday, July 10th. Our hotel is the New York Marriott Marquis, and we have reservations for dinner one night at… Read More New York, New York!
I’ve decided to steal Fidgeting Gidget’s 5 Question Friday idea and do it today instead of my usual Saturday Summary. I felt the need to shake things up a bit 🙂 1. When they make the movie of your life, who will play you? Hmmm, well I’ve been told before that my face and hair… Read More 5 Question Saturday!
I decided to do a little shoe-shopping on Wednesday (my day off), and rather than just going by myself, asked Chris to come along and turn things into a shopping trip + movie night. We headed out to Patriot Place in Foxboro, MA and stopped at Off Broadway Shoes, where I snagged some pretty good… Read More Great Deals + Cute Steals at Crabtree & Evelyn
Do any of you have some good hair dryer recommendations? I’m about to throw mine in the garbage. I don’t have super-thick hair, but it’s pretty long and takes a good 30-40 minutes to dry straight out of the shower. I would really like something that takes a little less time than that. Suggestions, please!
Well, after several weeks + one afternoon’s worth of work, I’m happy to report that we’ve decided on an apartment for this coming August. Yay! Before I tell you about it, let me just say this – if you’re in the apartment business, puh-leaze get yourself a website with decent pictures and hire people who… Read More Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy!

Hello my lovely readers 🙂 I’m back, and raring to go! I had a wonderful time in Florida and loved seeing all of my family. I am a little bummed about the weather in Massachusetts right now – highs of 60 degrees and rainy all week – blech. It’s the end of June – shouldn’t… Read More Marco Island Vacation Summary!
Here’s a little taste of the view from where we’re staying…
Hi everyone! Well, we arrived in sunny, gorgeous Marco Island, Florida yesterday afternoon. We picked up our rental car at the airport in Ft. Myers, then swung back and picked up my SIL, Nicki, who was flying in from Chicago. The three of us headed south to California Pizza Kitchen, picked up a couple of… Read More Marco Island
Happy Birthday to my wonderful, handsome husband 🙂 He’s an old man – 28 years old! This is the 6th birthday that I’ve been able to celebrate with him, and each year I’m more grateful than the last. We’re not planning on anything too special tonight – just presents (he’s already gotten his cake/pie earlier… Read More Happy Birthday to my Husband
So we’re leaving for the airport tomorrow morning at 10:30 for our week-long vacation, and I am not ready AT ALL! I have done no packing, no ironing (yes, I do have some stuff that needs to be ironed), I need to clean the house, sew up a torn seam in one of the shirts… Read More So Much To Do
During my wolf down your food in 5 minutes or less lunch break at work yesterday, I called Chris to ask if I’d left my blackberry at home. Turns out that I did, but then we had the following conversation… Chris – “I left something sweet in your car.” Me – “You put something in… Read More Corn Syrup is Something Sweet
I have a confession to make: I love Lori Wick books. I think I started reading them when I was in 7th grade, and I’m pretty sure I’ve read every one she’s ever written. They aren’t what I’d call deep, thought-provoking books – they’re Christian novels – but I really like them. Recently, I began… Read More Lori Wick
At the grocery check-out last night, I look over my shoulder and what do I see? An entire check-out conveyor nearly covered with Duncan Hines Moist Deluxe Chocolate Cake mix boxes! Good night! And there were even more in her shopping cart! I really, really, really wanted to hop on over there and ask this… Read More Spotted: Way Too Much Cake Mix!
A huge thanks to Amy over at Ha Ha. Wait. What? for nominating me as her favorite blogger 🙂 Thanks so much! If you don’t know Amy, please head to her blog and send her some love!
Happy June everyone! I can’t believe May is over and done with, can you? I have some interesting news – Chris is going to be on a radio show this Thursday! He was emailed on Saturday by the host, Chuck Morse, and asked if he would be interested in having an hour’s discussion on philosophy… Read More Stay Tuned: Chris on the Radio
Just wanted to share this sweet photograph of my two youngest nieces, Carrie and Ella. Carrie belongs to my sister Shelly and her husband Sam, and Ella belongs to my sister Cindy and brother-in-law Dan. They are both wearing dresses that my mom made for their moms, my sisters, when they were very young. Aren’t… Read More Sweet Sunday
Hello my lovely readers! I’ve been on a bit of a blogging hiatus, and let me say that I’ve enjoyed it. It’s nice to just sit back and read what others are writing without having to think of anything to post 🙂 Nothing exciting has been going on in the life of yours truly, but… Read More A Practically Perfect Shopping List 🙂
Let me start out by saying that today’s my day off, and that inside every guy there is a dormant 5 year old, just waiting to come out. Since I don’t have to work today, I slept in till almost 8:30, and Chris was in bed till 9:30 at least. After eating breakfast, Chris was… Read More The Hidden 5 year old in us All
