Long Weekends

July 4, 2011

This post is dedicated to all of my loyal readers (all 5 of you).  I got nudges from several different friends this weekend that it was time for me to update the blog.  Long weekends are one of my most favorite things.  I firmly believe that if all weekends lasted 3 days and the work […]

Low-Key Weekend

June 12, 2011

For weeks I have been craving a low-key, zero drama weekend.  Things did not start out all that promising on Thursday night, when we made another trip to the ER.  Thankfully, they caught things early enough that Danny’s mom was able to go home later that evening. On Friday, I got to spend some quality […]

Happy Thoughts

June 5, 2011

Ever since we got back from Australia, life has kind of kicked us in the teeth.  With my busy season at work in full swing (totally grateful for the business) the days are longer and the weekends shorter.  Danny’s mom has been back in the hospital a few times and all of the trips back […]

Whirlwind Trip

May 14, 2011

The first part of this weekend has been kind of a whirlwind.  On Friday afternoon, Danny and I both took off work a few hours early and hit the road to Charleston, SC. The main purpose of this trip was to retrieve Danny’s mom from a cruise that was coming back into port in Charleston […]

Mystery Vegetable

May 11, 2011

Today I received my second Produce Box of the season.  This week, I opted for the “surprise box.”  I probably won’t do this again – but, my box did yield some interesting options. I had a serious “WTF” moment when I pulled out a bag of this mysterious vegetable.  After some internet research, I discerned […]

Quarter Life Crisis?

May 7, 2011

There is a chance that someone in our house might be going through some type of “quarter life crisis.”  Hint: It is neither myself nor Gracie Yep, today Danny we went out and bought a new (to us) car.  It is a sweet ride and I will admit that I am a teensy bit jealous […]

Produce Box #1

May 4, 2011

Apparently I went MIA for awhile once I returned from Australia.  That jet lag thing was brutal, it took both Danny and I at least a week to feel fully recovered.  Thankfully, my schedule seems to be back on Eastern Standard Time these days. Usually when I return home from work each day, I am […]

Happy Birthday To Me

April 24, 2011

I haven’t written much about it on the blog – but, aside from Danny, Gracie and Duke basketball, one of my favorite things in all of the world is going to see live music.  My preference for shows is small venues where the energy of the band fills up the entire room (read: I DO […]

Play Hangover

April 23, 2011

Alternate titles for this blog post might include: Jet Lag Sucks; Holy Crap I Am Tired or Ouch! My Pounding Head. Play Hangover is the term that we use to describe Gracie when she returns from a stay at Dogs at Play.  After 14 days there, she did not quite know what to do with […]

The Final Countdown

April 19, 2011

We kept things pretty low key on our last day in Australia.  While out on our soggy bike tour on Saturday, we caught a glimpse of the Royal Botanical Gardens.  Normally, gardens would not be anything to hold my interest, but these are different.  Since the weather has turned nice (just in time for us […]
