I had another busy weekend and did many things; however, it I’m honest I could have accomplished more. Friday: Movie night turned into chat night. I ordered the deep dish pizza I’d been craving and took a nap before Melissa came over. We drank wine and talked weddings, jobs, housing, life in general. I confided … More Weekend Update
Even though it’s 90 degrees outside I’m still going to call it autumn. It’s my favorite season and tonight I hit the jackpot for an official welcome. I recently discovered the best wine ever, Michigan’s own Witches Brew, and this week it is on sale for $5 a bottle at Meijer! I stocked up and … More The Taste of Fall
Yesterday at a concert Kristin Chenoweth invited a random audience member to join her for a Wicked duet. She was in for QUITE a surprise. It reminded me of the surprise Michael Buble got a couple years ago.
Way back in 1998 Boy Bands were all the rage. In my 6th grade class the girls were split in three camps: Backstreet Boys, N Sync, and 98 Degrees. I wasn’t a very cool kid and had no idea who any of these groups were but a girl had to belong somewhere. 98 Degree was … More N Sync
I recently finished two books about books: Nina Sankovitch’s Tolstoy and the Purple Chair and Carmela Ciuraru’s Nom de Plume. Both were recommended by O magazine and neither were fantastic; however, each has inspired my next reading list. TPC is a memoir reflecting on the year Sankovitch spent reading a book a day. The concept … More Book Review: Tolstoy and the Purple Chair & Nom De Plume
My first attempt at a D.I.Y. project went pretty well. Mom gave us her old microwave stand when we moved but the white linoleum didn’t mesh with the wood cabinets of our new place. My initial plan was to replace it with something new; however, since I can only buy so much stuff, I decided … More D.I.Y. Refinished Microwave Stand
After another long reign for a Queen, the world will once again see a series of men at the head of the British monarchy. Charles III, William V and George VII. At least potentially, the middle names are up for grabs for all of them and it will be interesting to see what they choose. … More Prince George Alexander Louis
Yesterday I had an impromptu Girls’ Night with Cara and Kristin. We ate outside, went in the pool and walked for ice cream. A perfect summer evening. To accompany the plethora of leftover pulled pork, Cara brought a zucchini from her garden to make fries. I almost died when I saw the zucchini! It’s huge! … More Zucchini
Snow/Charming, Aurora/Philip, Cinderella/Thomas and Ariel/Eric I’m not going to do a detailed recap of my trip but I did want to mention my Disneybound fun! It all started with that pink tank top that gave me the idea to Disneybound as Aurora for a day. I found a spinning wheel necklace on Ebay that was … More DisneyBounding
I was never a Girl Scout as a kid. My sister did it for a year but it never really appealed to us. Nevertheless, like most people in this country we certainly enjoyed the cookies – no box of Samoas was safe around me. Surprisingly, as I’ve gotten older I find that I don’t actually like cookies … More Cookie Gala
