    Gym Thoughts

    Its dangerous for me to be alone with my thoughts. I start to think about life, things I need to do, things I want to do…. things I don’t want to do :). I’m most frequently alone with my “thoughts” at the gym but when I’m there I’m usually doing one of two things: planning…

  • Mason Jars? Yes please.

    Source: raeslittlegarden.blogspot.com via Roxanne on Pinterest There is something about mason jars that just make me happy. I think its because they remind me of coastal homes, summer, and relaxation. I saw this post on Apartment Therapy last night and immediately pinned the picture to my Pinterest board. I’m not super creative, but I feel…

    Setting the tone

    Is it weird that sometimes when I’m flying I feel super high up in the air?  I would imagine that is because of the clouds. The closer they seem, the closer I feel to the ground. This morning in the security line at Logan airport there was a man in a suit standing near the TSA…

    Sunday Dinner

    One of the perks of having several roommates {this is how I refer to living at home} is that I get to cook for more than one person! Having lived at home for nearly a year now … wow the time flies … I’ve forced the family to try several new foods and most have…

  • Sun! Finally!

    Sun! Finally!

     It feels as though its been raining in Boston / Philadelphia / Eastern Seaboard for an eternity. Seriously nature. Stop it. Then! Just as Baby Sister and I were drinking some coffee and planning the day, the sun broke through and it was clear as day. We poured ourselves some coffee in to-go cups, grabbed…

  • Bring it Gert

    Source: tumblr.com via Mo on Pinterest I saw recently that that NOAA has published the hurricane names for this coming hurricane season. I’m always intrigued by the names and the logic behind it. According to their website: Experience shows that the use of short, distinctive given names in written as well as spoken communications is…

    Berry-licious

        Source: give-me-summer.tumblr.com via Stephanie on Pinterest I’ve never been one to know what “season” it is. Despite my love of clementines, I’m always surprised when I see them in the grocery store. I get super pumped when I see those little wooden crates packed with clementines allegedly from Spain. {I’m super skeptical about…

    Hotel Rants (but no Raves)

    Source: harmoniogkontrast.blogspot.com via Gayla on Pinterest In life I like to think I’m not picky, I roll with the punches. I’m certainly particular, but not picky. Perhaps I’m arguing based on semantics but since I’m the one writing, I get the final say. However, in traveling life I willingly admit that I’m picky. Its not…

    Things that are silly…

There is something just super attractive about just the right amount of facial hair on a guy. By facial hair, I mean stuff…

    Cozy Rain

    Source: shannoneileenblog.typepad.com via Sanela on Pinterest It’s raining today in Boston… and It’s foggy in Philadelphia. I just can’t win weather wise 🙂 Rain always makes me want to do one of two things: 1) Go for a run outside 2) Stay inside and snuggle on a couch. Often option #2 wins out. Like today,…
