Rough last couple of days. Missing Paul + setbacks at work + humid weather = not much sleep and too many tears. Ugh. But last night was good. Paul + I decided that it is important for us to start eating dinner at the table and talking for that half hour instead of watching TV.…

Marta was right, nothing beats the blahs like watching The Bachelorette. I stayed up late, late, late after work to watch all three hours of reality television. Which, when you fast-forward through all the commercials/flashbacks ends up taking about 14 minutes. But OH MAN am I so glad she picked who she picked. The other…

Hmm. I seem to have caught a bit of the blahs. It is Monday. I have very little to say. Other than I started a new 28 day workout plan. And today is day 3. I already know I will make it at least four days because tomorrow is a “rest day.” At least I…

I got into Georgetown early this morning and decided to wander in search of red + white + blue. I really must act like a tourist more. I get better photos when I do not care who is watching. And when I keep my camera in my hand instead of my bag.

Here is to a quick eight hour work day, peanut butter bars, good eats, good drinks, fireworks and crafty endeavors. Here is to freedom and pride and hopefully peace. Have a great weekend.

  Last night we hosted a fondue dinner party. Because nothing brings a table together like melted cheese. And nothing makes everyone laugh like ABC’s Wipeout. Also yesterday, I posted a challenge at The Sketch Book, a New Zealand based scrapbooking community. My challenge was to create a mini album using just photos and a…

My to-do list is about 14 miles long today. It is so long that I cannot see the start and the end at the same time and just have to start plucking away somewhere in the middle. Look for a new challenge and exciting giveaway here within the next couple hours and a minibook challenge…

Cheers to Saturday. Yesterday was busy. We ran errands and traded in Nalgenes for BPA free Nalgenes. We shopped and I bought over $400 worth of clothes and shoes for $164. I love Martin+Osa. And I adore good sales. We enjoyed fine dining and entertainment (mushroom chicken + South Park). And of course the cats…

So we are cat sitting. Two little teenage felines. Paul has always owned cats but this is a first for me. I feel a bit like the paparazzi chasing them around the house. It is so exciting to have something mobile to photograph although I think my plates and foodstuffs are slightly jealous. When I…

I am watching the US women's gymnastic Olympic trials. And I am already starting to cry and stand up and clap out loud. I cannot watch gymnastics with out remembering 1996 when the Magnificent Seven reigned supreme. I wanted to be Kerri Strug. Or at least put her in my pocket. Oh, hooray for Olympic…
