  • New presents for Jen

    I’m going to the Vineyard in a week or so and decided to buy myself a present or two for the trip … and just for the rest of the summer. Before I went to Ireland I bought myself a Nikon D3000 as a graduation present – and I really like it. I am a…

    The Price is… Creepy?

    I think we all have some fond memories of watching the Price is Right when we were growing up. Well… today I was at the gym running and happened to catch a few peeks at the new version with Drew Carey. Granted, I didn’t listen to anything Drew or his contestants were saying since I…

  • Summer Reading: Part Two

    I finished two more books today! I really hope when I return these two to the library tomorrow they have another book ready for me!

    Maps are cool

    I’m not sure if you’ve ever been on Etsy – but it is a treasure trove of interesting and often handmade products. Two items that I’d found on there recently that I love are related to maps. I’ve always been interested in historical maps and dream of one day giving them their own room in…

  • Perfect?

    Perfect?

    In the afternoons, I make myself a gin & tonic and go to the beach. I bring: – a book – a towel – my phone – a gin & tonic Oh and of course sunblock… Life is extraordinary …
