Dear Blog, I’ve missed you! You know when you haven’t done something in so long, and you just keep wanting to do it…. but you aren’t sure what to do? That’s what’s kept me from blogging since July 20th 🙂 I’ve been really active since that last post… but mostly just with enjoying my vacation.…
Oh. so. busy. I’m getting ready to go on vacation for a week and I’m very excited – but its been a very busy few days as I realize how unprepared I am for this. I should send Amazon a special thank you note for getting me all of my packages on-time. Without Amazon, I…
My summer romance. Yes it’s with a dog but look at that cute little face! My favorite dog friend is visiting me for a few days while his mom and dad are watching people tie the knot in Vermont. Dwight came to stay with me last summer for a few days and it was the…
pinterest. Another blog I read, Boundless Fille, does this thing called Thankful Thursday and it seems appropriate since I spent the first half of the week sick with the flu. I used to think of myself as a “healthy” person but when you’ve gotten the flu twice in 6 months, you’ve got to wonder what…
I read in a cooking magazine once that although we like to try lots of recipes to experiment, it is only by doing a recipe a million times over that we become really good at it. This makes perfect sense although I definitely didn’t think of it. This is how mom’s get their “famous” recipes….…
As I mentioned on Friday, I’ve been really lucky to work at home for a week. Its the 2nd time that it has happened pretty much since mid-October. {Yep, I travel pretty frequently… and it gets old}. But this week, I was super lucky to spend some time walking the beach in the mornings ….…
I do not like to be cheated. I get frustrated when I feel like I’m not getting the value for my dollar. I work hard for my Washingtons, Benjamins, and the like. So, when I spend them I “savor” them … especially if I can’t expense the expense. A few weeks back I ordered a…
I’ve been working from home this week and it feels pretty great. There are obviously many perks to it {and a few downsides} but one of them is that I get to sit in the sun during lunch and go for bike rides before I start my day. Today, I woke up and it was…
People often fall into one of two camps when certain things come up. Lake or Ocean? Beer or Wine? City or Country? I like to think one’s interest in sending and receiving mail is one of the those types of categories. Personally, I L.O.V.E. getting mail. I also love sending mail. Its not about getting…
Like any good chocolate chip cookie recipe, each person has their own special ingredients that help to make the cookie equation work for them. For me? I made it home three hours earlier than I expected on Thursday. What did I manage to do in those three hours you ask? I “longboard”ed in the driveway…
