I discovered Sherlock this past week and it’s wonderful. Also the easiest marathon I’ve ever done with only 9 episodes. Although I spent a good part of my weekend watching the show I’m not addicted to it. It may come but currently I’m in the clear. My biggest attraction to the show is that it … More Sherlock
Yesterday Danny and I had an impromptu date night. Originally we were going to go on a double date to Slows but it was postponed. Instead of going home we decided to try out a new restaurant in the city. The cold has kept me indoors so it was great to spend time in Detroit. … More Union Street
I decided I wasn’t busy enough applying for jobs, finishing the International Literary Project, plugging into my Roosevelt research again, starting a new workout program and practicing Spanish, SO I decided to learn to play the piano. Since my last attempt to learn a skill most children know failed I decided to keep this under … More And One More Thing…
I’m still getting use to the being married thing. I can’t really explain what I mean by that. I don’t feel single but most days I just feel like myself without a title. Today was not one of those days and this morning I felt like a very lucky wife. Weather in Michigan has been … More Lucky Wife
The current frigid temperatures left me with some unexpected time at home. I decided to spend it cleaning the house and going through old things including pictures, cards and letters. Finding tokens of mine and Danny’s relationship was a fun way to pass time. It’s interesting to see how our relationship has evolved and amazing … More Assuming Positions
We had some more parenting practice this weekend. Three days with our godaughter Gwen. She’s a doll and the best baby to practice with. She’s mild mannered but she didn’t make it all easy. Sunday she was quite fussy but I appreciated the experience of a semi-inconsolable baby. I learned a lot of things this … More Parenting Practice Take II
In a much over due get together Kristin and Paul came over for game night yesterday. I made a cake for the occasion and I think it was my best yet. Chocolate cake mix (I used coffee instead of water and it really heightened the flavor), a raspberry filling and some almonds for added flavor … More Midweek Game Night
I did not plan to do anything for my birthday this year. I’m not a big birthday person and since Danny was turning 30 I wanted the focus to be on him. What a fail!!! Although he did get what he asked for Danny didn’t really get anything special for his birthday. I even forgot … More A VERY happy Birthday!
Today Danny turned the big 3-0. I knew Danny throughout his 20s and he’s a very different person today – much more mature and responsible. I’m eager to see what the 30s have in store for him – hopefully only good things! He’s not a goal maker but I did get a few things … More Happy Birthday Wordbird!
For my birthday Danny surprised me with tickets to the Cranbrook gardens. It was an activity on my 25 goals for my 25th year that I hadn’t gotten around to yet and I am SO glad we went. I was skeptical of going to a garden when it feels like winter most days but luckily the … More Paradise
