I watch the news each morning before I go to work. And each day this past week, those ridiculously cheerful weather people told me how amazing the weekend was going to be. It was like they were advance shaming me for just reading magazines by the harbor. So, I was borderline determined to savor the…
Oh Maine. Every Labor Day visit to Maine is different… and perhaps that’s why it is so amazing. One year it’s about boating and swimming. The next year it’s Monhegan Island. This year? I’m not quite sure how to to wrap it up with a bow. We had lots of lady time around the house…
I guess the upside to the end of the long weekend is that today is Tuesday … and not Monday. I spent much of the time in Maine having lady talks and roaming the rocky coast taking pictures with my friend Sarah. She just got a new camera and so it was amazing to have…
10 points to Maine for scoring a great slogan. I do love Maine and I do love vacation. I’m headed out today for a few days in Maine and realizing that this is my 4th Labor Day that I’ve spent in this particular little heaven. It’s hard to believe at times. I’m not sure what…
Yes, it’s been far too long in between posts. And while I know that in my own heart, it’s always nice to have someone else remind me. I got this message at work yesterday from my friend’s hubs: “tell whatjendoes that she hasn’t been doing anything” Message received. It’s been a weird and busy few…
This post was written on the plane coming home… to America. To my family. And Eleanor, my cat. I guess it’s fitting that my last day in Italy it rained. That means it’s time to go home right? Since it was a travel day, there wasn’t really much that happened except the following: …
I just spent about 20 minutes trying to take a picture of the city lights from my balcony. I’m not sure it really went as expected. But I’ll still post it for posterity sake tomorrow maybe. Today I did everything that I had “planned” to do. It was a really great day of moving at…
Today was a big day. I put on a dress and flats. I guess that really isn’t too significant but given that I’ve been wearing khaki shorts (some nautical print) and leggings (or jeggings)… it was a considerable departure. Plus, that knocks two more items off my “must wear it because you brought it” list.…
I subscribe to this daily app called TimeHop. The essence of it is that it serves up your social media check-ins and postings from prior years. Yesterday TimeHop told me that: 3 years ago I was in Virginia at a softball tournament, 2 years ago I was working in NYC, and 1 year ago I…
Let me start by saying I have no idea what day of the week it is. I overheard someone in the lobby this morning talking about potentially having trouble getting from Naples home. WHAT. so, I cancelled my last half hour of water gawking and ran to the train station. Strike starts at 9 and…
