You know when you rush around so much that you almost miss something super pretty? Well apparently I’ve been doing that for months. I have a whole airport routine. It’s very organized and as a result, I know where everything is normally and I’m not fumbling around the house at 4 in the morning looking…
When you are living a suburban life, it’s not that challenging to find yourself tucked in bed on a Saturday night at 10pm. And by 10pm, I really mean 9pm. As a result, it is also not hard to get up early on a Sunday and walk the beach before most people have peeled themselves…
I love sending things in the mail… and I love getting them. So naturally on a vacation I love the idea of postcards, but I quite often forget to mail them. I go through all the effort (being a bit dramatic) to buy the cards, then I forget to get the stamps. Or sometimes, I…
It almost seems like a waste of time to say that I thoroughly enjoyed my vacation in Maine over Labor Day, after all I’ve written about it twice now (here and here). But I think one of the great things about Maine was that I did things that I wouldn’t normally do and barely thought…
I could sit in the back of the boat all damn day and watch the water A week ago today, I was getting ready to take a nighttime boat ride and look at the stars. Seems a far cry from blogging in my bed with a glass of ice water :). It’s no secret that…
You know when you have so much fun you can barely even make a list of it? Well that is what Maine amounted to. For reals. It was so good that I can’t rush a blog post about it. It needs bullet points and links. Instead, I’m going to just tease you with this glorious…
taken on 8/30/2011 in the morning after the storm It’s been awhile no? Yes, it has been. Let me fill you in. Late last week the buzz started that this lady Irene was coming to town and she was planning on causing a ruckus. Any by Irene, I mean a hurricane. Long long long story…
I was recently talking with my friend about qualities that we found to be important in men we’d like to date – and perhaps some day raise children with. Amongst many great personality traits we both doled out as being relatively important, I threw down… knowledgable and comfortable with crabs. I quickly followed that up…
You know when you make something so delicious that you can’t wait to make it again? That would be what happened to me on Saturday night. With the abundance of tomatoes in the garden, I knew that I needed to do something with them. A mere salad would not suffice. I really needed to celebrate…
View from the Wing… 6:30 AM Getting up at 4:20 in the morning is pretty uninspiring. Getting up at 4:20 in the rain might be a speck worse. Alas, the weekend is over and it is a travel week again. A few thoughts on this morning: I’m adding something to my bucket list. I want…
