Yesterday, I was typing the date and realized that today would be the once-in-a-lifetime kind of date: 12-12-12. I think I like it better typed 12/12/12. Anywhoo, I got to thinking…why wasn’t I as fascinated when we had 11/11/11 or 10/10/10? My slight fascination started when I heard the story of Margie and Paul on […]
It’s no secret – if it’s in the Brown Food Group, I love it. I believe my BFF made up that food classification in honor of yours truly. And what is in said Brown Food Group you may ask? Yup – anything “bready” and baked and bad for you in excessive quantities. […]
This year has flown by. It seems that just a year ago I was setting up the Christmas tree and beginning the flurry of activities that happen in December. Christmas is my favorite holiday and I tend to go a little overboard. (Probably because I had no Christmas when I was little, but that’s a […]
So I like to take pictures. My family hates it. I’m the one at all events with a camera slung around her neck saying, “Hold it. Let me get a picture.” Followed by moans and groans and rumbling of discontent. My little guy has resorted to “ruining” every picture by making a funny face. Who […]
I’m not sure where I first heard Paper Route, but I love, love, love them! This is an indie rock band that hails from Nashville, TN. They have some pretty deep lyrics, a cool and an unpretentious vibe reminiscent of some 80’s bands like Tears for Fears and Mr. Mister. They released their newest album, […]
I really need an extra hour in my day. I mean, it’s October and there are a ton of new fall television shows for me to get sucked into. Have you started watching any cool new shows this season? In years past, I couldn’t wait for the special TV Guide Fall Preview issue. I’d read […]
Owning a dog is a learning experience and an exercise in extreme patience. We have an eight-month-old Portuguese Water Dog. Porties are hypo-allergenic, active, sweet natured and lovable dogs. What you might not know is that they are a notoriously mouthy breed. When our breeder repeatedly warned me about this trait, I thought, okay, the […]
I just got back from walking Fergie, my six month old Portuguese Water Dog. Isn’t she cute?? She’s a bundle of energy, so we try to walk her twice a day. Between my runs and these Fergie power walks, I should stay in good shape. Today, the sun is shining, birds are chirping. There’s a […]
Today marked the U.S. release of Our Version of Events by Emeli Sandé. It’s fifteen songs of awesome!!! And get this — I downloaded the MP3 album from Amazon for $5. Right – $5. What are you waiting for? Go get it!! In case you’re not convinced, here’s a sample of the songs you’ll find […]
I tend to do a lot of runs on the treadmill since I have two kids who aren’t old enough to babysit themselves and I have to squeeze in workouts whenever I can. I’m the kind of runner that doesn’t mind the treadmill. I don’t get dizzy or disoriented. Plus, I really love being able […]
