drinking lots of tea. appreciating this article on making a marriage work. watching old Parks & Recreation episodes. laughing at The Mindy Project. eating one giant batch of spaghetti all week long. willing the last of the tomatoes to turn red. waiting anxiously for The Casual Vacancy to arrive. prepping to sell stamps at the…

This weekend, we officially launch ourselves into fall. I'm totally excited for it. Summer is absolutely my favorite season, but part of what's awesome about it is that around mid-September, I am always ready to embrace what comes next.

We're back in our sweet little townhouse in our sweet little town. We are home for less than 40 hours, but it's still a decent chunk of time to reset a bit. I am totally one of those people who looks forward to vacations, but enjoys coming home even more. If it's not obvious from…

We were up in Kirkwood (near Tahoe!) this past weekend for the wedding of one of Paul's college friends. It was stunningly beautiful. Weddings are always amazing, but for this one they did such a wonderful job on the details. Fortune cookies with custom sayings? Blue mason jars? The wooden arch? THAT SKY?!? Loved it.…

We had a fantastic little getaway to The Saguaro in Palm Springs. I have been sort of obsessed with checking this place out since we drove by it the last time we were in the desert. That rainbow paint isn't exactly subtle. The colors (and the fantastic restaurants – both Tinto and El Jefe were…

It felt like a short week. Must have been all the Olympics watching. How about that Missy Franklin? I love her. I also love every inch of every event. Makes for fantastic e&p bonding and the couch-side commentary is too good. I made progress on my website (nothing new is up yet, but soon!) and…
