The Old 97s

January 29, 2012

Friday afternoon we hit the road and made the two hour drive to Chapel Hill to see the Old 97s at The Cat’s Cradle.  The Old 97s are probably my most favorite band to see live.  They put on a pretty kick ass show. With my bum ankle, we were sort of on the fence […]

Ridiculous

January 24, 2012

Let’s just all take a moment to appreciate the how ridiculous my outfit was today:   I went into work this morning and tried to cram as much stuff as possible into about a four hour window of time.  My mom kept reminding me that the doctor said I was really supposed to keep my […]

Damn Stairs

January 23, 2012

Last night I had an unfortunate incident involving my left ankle and the stairs to my back porch.  As I was taking Gracie outside before bed, I somehow managed to roll my ankle while coming down the stairs.  I heard a pretty disgusting crunching sound and that was followed by some pretty spectacular pain. Sadly, […]

Changing Names

January 12, 2012

I need to preface this post by saying that I consider myself to be a very independent, non-traditional girl.  Even after Danny and I had been dating for years, I never sat around dreaming of my wedding dress and I certainly never, ever practiced my signature while using his last name.  This is why it […]

Happy (belated) New Years!

January 3, 2012

If the first day back to work after the holidays was any indication – 2012 is going to be a very hectic year.  I got a lot done today, but still have so much left to do to get 2011 closed out and 2012 moving forward smoothly. At any rate – backing up to New […]

2011 Reflections

December 31, 2011

Around this same time last year I wrote a post welcoming in 2011 and asking it to please not suck quite as bad as 2010 did.  Unfortunately, this year did not take it any easier on us as we lost Danny’s mom. Rather than focusing on the negative – I am going to look back […]

Christmas 2011

December 25, 2011

This year has been one of the most “on the go” Christmas seasons that I have ever experienced. On Christmas Eve we invited Danny’s entire side of the family (roughly 13 people) over for a meal and gift exchange.  It was the first time that I had ever hosted anything like that before and I […]

Lessons Learned

December 12, 2011

Between decorating the house for the holidays, Christmas shopping and working on remodeling our kitchen (more on that later), the past few weeks have flown by.  I have had several life lessons tossed my way and I figured I would share them on the blog for posterity. 1.) When purchasing a new refrigerator, it is […]

Thankful

November 24, 2011

As I sit in my chair suffering from a massive case of food hangover, I am thankful for the following things: My husband –it still blows my mind that I actually found someone as awesome as he is.  Not only is he the smartest person that I know – he is also my #1 partner […]

Home Again

November 20, 2011

We arrived back at our house around 10pm on Friday.  It was a long day of travel – and so, when we pulled into our driveway and discovered a giant monkey waiting on us, I thought maybe I was hallucinating. No big deal, just a giant Christmas monkey chilling out in the front yard. I […]
