A beautiful number. The light at the end of this tunnel. The calm after the storm. The number of days I will have off in July. I tend to hoard my vacation days, liked a prized possession, only taking off the bare minimum & usually only when I’m going out of town. So, yesterday, when I [...]

a sweet dilemma
Posted in advice, summer, treats, wedding on December 19, 2011 | 1 Comment »
& how very sweet it is. You see, at this moment, I am enlisting your help in making some wedding cake (or non-cake) decisions. So, take a moment to relinquish any concerns of hurting my feelings & give me your most honest opinions. To help you in your decision making, let me walk you through the [...]
men in vests

You can’t tell me that’s not hot. I’m really digging this look for the guys. No coats. Just vests. Except maybe for the groom. Light gray for the groom. Darker gray for the groomsmen. An orange & blue tie. & those White Converse, yes. It feels a [...]

Friday, August 12th (1) Mom’s Birthday. (2) First visit of my Dad, Terri & Rach to our little dungeon bundle of a home! It was so good to have them here..(even if they did break my oven & melt my timer!) Saturday, August 13th (1) Adieu to my Ohio-bound family after a week of their [...]
let me tell you a little story…

This might be a bit of a longer post. But I hope you find it as entertaining as I did. I hope this isn’t one of those “had-to-be-there” moments. Friday evening Nick & I arrived at White Caps Campground in Vermont. Shortly after arriving, Nick developed a habit of lifting firewood from deserted campsites. (!) [...]
This weekend was one of small amounts of progress in many different areas. #1 (& also probably the biggest): we stripped A LOT of paint off of TWO shutters. The shutter on the right used to be as black as the one to it’s left. With the help of some seriously powerful (but not eco-friendly) [...]

Never mind this July 12th date. I haven’t gone to bed yet so to me, it’s still July 11th, the very topic of this post. You see, this day last year, July 11th, Nick & I were working really really hard to move our stuff in this little one bedroom basement apartment with the help [...]
lemonade stand

I know, I know what you all are thinking….what about the trip!? Well, I haven’t completed my thoughts on that yet, mostly due to a VERY slow computer that often leaves me walking away before I’m tempted to smash it on the ground. No seriously. You think I’m joking, but I’m not. So forgive me [...]

YESTERDAY marked the last day of work for me until July. TODAY..in 60 minutes exactly, I am about to embark on an adventure. I am flying down to PA in “the bird” (a little plan with only 4 seats) with my very own step-dad as pilot. Now that’s some lucky traveling! Upon landing in PA, [...]
just keep swimming

Here’s to overcoming my fear of pond swimming. Or trying to anyway! Today I went swimming in Cunningham Pond. The very pond at which I used to lifeguard. Nick kayaked next to me while I bravely (or not so bravely) took to the water. It was cold. Cold, cold, cold. But refreshing. & I was [...]
