  • Another point for Amazon

    Another point for Amazon

    I often buy music when I need inspiration… or just something to distract me from the current task at hand. So yesterday afternoon when I was in need of some extra kick in my cubicle, I procured Jason Aldean’s album from Amazon MP3. I rarely buy music from iTunes anymore since the prices are just…

  • Guilty Pleasure

    Guilty Pleasure

    Earlier this week I went to grocery store {I’ll be honest… it was a Wawa} and bought cookie dough frozen yogurt. Then, I proceeded to eat only the cookie dough. I’m not exaggerating … in the least. I let the Ben & Jerry’s defrost until it was quite melty. Then I got a big spoon…

  • Ready to Relax {at home, not a Hilton}

    Ready to Relax {at home, not a Hilton}

    June 2011 I’m tired this morning and all I want to do is just relax at home. I found myself scrolling through old beach pictures on my ipad in bed this morning so it seemed appropriate to post a few of my favorites along with one from this past weekend. One of the things that…

    Hot Hot Hot

    I just saw on the news this morning that Pennsylvania is going to get a heat wave this week. A honest to goodness heatwave. While I’m “blessed” to spend this wave in Air Conditioning, I would still much rather spend it sitting on a porch drinking some ice tea…. or perhaps splashing around in the…

    Meet Walter.

    Meet Walter. My Hammock. I’ve wanted a hammock for about as long as I can remember. Its so relaxing just swinging lightly in the breeze – or laying still under the trees {rhyming unintentional, but awesome}. So last weekend, I said enough is enough and went to Lowes and picked up my new favorite thing,…

  • Anchors Away!

    Source: tumblr.com via Jennifer on Pinterest Remember the post I did around Valentine’s Day about “Talk Nerdy to Me”? Well, talking nautical is just as good. If you some how find a way to merge the seashore and the interweb together… without causing an electrical fire, call me.  But, in the meantime… I do love…

    Flat Flat Flat

    After a glorious long weekend, the witching hour arrived this morning and it was time to go back to work. Le sad.  But life isn’t without its upsides of course. I didn’t have to travel and I managed to squeeze in a quick bike ride before my 8 am call. Its times like this that…

  • Watching the grass grow

    Watching the grass grow

    Praise the lord. It’s the weekend. And it’s a long one {twss}. Not only is it a 3-day weekend, but I also don’t have to travel next week. Woot woot. A few people have asked me what I’m doing this weekend …. and my answer is NOTHING. I’m quite literally going to watch the grass…

  • My "Worldly" Posessions

    My "Worldly" Posessions

    Nearly one year ago, I packed up my apartment and put it in storage. My original plan was to collect my worldly possessions in the fall. Then fall turned into winter, winter to spring, and then …. Yes, you guessed it. Summer. {I challenge you to try and forgo living by the beach in nice…
