Christmas Surprise

From our relationship Danny has picked up many of my habits.  One such habit is giving gifts before the designated date.  I’ve improved in this area but he’s getting worse. lol Last night he gave me a Tiffany blue box and inside was a pair of glass mittens ornament for our tree.  He wanted to … More Christmas Surprise

Annual Cookie Exchange

It’s Cookie Exchange day at work.  A favorite activity among my co-workers.  I’m impressed with the loot this year; however, I’m surprisingly optimistic that I won’t eat it all before I get home. That’s a good thing because Danny’s been clued in on the fixings and he wants some. My contribution was an Oreo Truffle Brownie.  It’s … More Annual Cookie Exchange

Weekend Update

Thursday night I went out with my work folks in Corktown.  We went to Slows for dinner and then did some  karaoke down the street.  I love to sing and have no shame but I’m horrible!!!  Think Cameron Diaz in My Best Friend’s Wedding. Friday was the Christmas party.  It was really great.  The big … More Weekend Update

Big B Weekend

Another super busy weekend but it was great.  Saturday night I went to Alyssa’s Christmas ballet recital.  It was great as usual.  The costumes were new and absolutely gorgeous this year.  I wish I could have taken a picture of her in the green Victorian dress but it was basically identical to Samantha the America … More Big B Weekend

Irish Victory

Notre Dame finished the season 12-0 last night against their arch rival USC.  It was a low scoring game but the Irish were never behind.  Now they’re off to the National Championship!  As we have been almost all season we watched the game with Mr. B.  He was excited about the win – obviously – but … More Irish Victory

Weekend Update

 Another busy weekend has come and gone. Friday night we went to Aunt Margaret’s for dinner with Mom and then stopped by Auntie’s for Anthony and Andrew’s birthday.  Since we didn’t leave AM’s until 10 p.m. I  kidnapped Mom and D for the trip to Auntie’s and it went surprisingly well.  Mom didn’t have any problems so … More Weekend Update

Home Hunting

The absolute biggest challenge of married life thus far has been finding a place to live.  Danny HATES our apartment and staying there another year is not an option.  We have no money to buy a house or condo.  So renting is our only choice.  We’re on a wait-list for two apartments; however, potential openings for either … More Home Hunting

Weekend Update

Saturday: I woke up earlier than I have in ages to give ACT tests to my MEP girls. I even took part of the test myself and I did better than I did in high school.  I did fabulous in reading.  I suck at anything but algebra AND I don’t know how to use a … More Weekend Update
