I loathe to admit it but my Scarlett fever is back – the curses of an obsessive personality. Given my lack of self control, I try to avoid my favorite things like the plague but only ever with temporary success. In this case, my love for Gone with the Wind has reared its head. I … More Happy Friday!
I hear a cool down is coming and I’m ready. If nothing else a change in seasons is a perfect time to hit restart and ‘turn over a new leaf’. Some items on the agenda: exercise more, eat more vegetables, and spend more time reading than watching television. I’ve been decent about two mile walks … More Happy Friday!
During our summer trip Up North I stopped by a bookshop in Ludington and picked up Mark Twain’s autobiography. This 500 page read wasn’t quick but it was entertaining. I spent most my time, shaking my head in amazement at how this man lived so successfully. He was AWFUL with money. He lost more money at … More Happy Friday!
This time last year, I wrote a Friday post about Misty Copeland’s recently released Under Amour ad and my hope that it would help attract attention from the general public. That may not be the catalyst for her current fame but I’m so happy to see her mentioned regularly by various news outlets. I was … More Happy Friday!
So after a week of boycotting, I’ve decided to remove the city from my list – I’m becoming a pushover in my old age. The truth of the matter is a week without feeling a need to write about the city was actually refreshing. I love the city and sharing about it but sometimes I … More Happy Friday!
Tucked away next to the Packard Plant is a warehouse full of goodies. I was treated to a behind the scenes tour of the Display Group space and was too awestruck by the row upon rows of couches, chairs, mammoth award statues, a ginormous Eiffel Tower, Western displays, celebrity cutouts and more, to take pictures. … More Happy Friday!
Well an era is over and I can’t help but wonder when I’ll be interested in broadcast news again. Losing Colbert was rough but at least he’s moving on to something new. Stewart walking away is a more bitter pill to swallow. I give him a lot of credit for doing it but he’ll be … More Happy Friday
Innovation abounds in Detroit and it’s latest iteration is on display in North Corktown. These lovely lofts are made from shipping containers! I’m all for green designs and using what you have but I’m curious about how climate control works in these units. Regardless, they look cool and make me want to read the Boxcar Children again. … More Happy Friday!
The moment we have been waiting for has finally arrived! Tomorrow we leave for a week-long cottage getaway. Added bonus the Hakalas and Cory will be joining us for part of the trip. It’s been a long year and I am very much looking forward to sitting back and relaxing. We even plan to fulfill my … More Happy Friday
Today has been a fantastic day filled with fun and even misadventure. I had a perfect coffee date with a new acquaintance. We had a great conversation and I didn’t even feel like we only met this week. I’m hopeful that we’ll get together again soon. Afterwards, I went to Danny’s work for a short visit before walking back … More Happy Friday!
