Mini Me

My cousin is getting Jim to make their wedding cake topper (he did ours 8 years ago and a handful since for my sisters and best friend) and they wanted to see some sample pictures to decide whether they should be wearing casual clothes or wedding attire.
I had no idea where ours was [...]

Marley

Marley is my cousin’s little Yorkie…and he’s so cute he deserves the very rare “2nd Post of the Day” honor! Anything that fits in my hands and just eats up all the love and attention you can give him deserves at least that much.
I don’t care what anyone says…I like little dogs, I think [...]

Wedding Shower

Got back from the wedding shower I had in Phoenix last night and I’m exhausted. I’ve been walking from room to room, unsure what I was looking for or what I wanted to do. If you were to add a severed leg, blood drooling from my mouth and some living dead grunts….I would be [...]

NAB

I’ve finally come to a hard but realistic conclusion…my husband is a geek…big time.
The company he works for decided to take the whole gang to Las Vegas earlier this week for the National Association of Broadcasters‘ annual show. Larry and Maria (The Bosses) were kind and generous enough to invite me as well [...]

Party!

My little sister is taking her Professional Engineer exam today…8 hours long, whew! So let’s all wish her tons of smarty-pants good luck!
Go Yana, go! You can PARTY when it’s done!
(if it helps, you can imagine me singing the Rocky theme song in the back of your head)

Kitchen Geese

Had to drop off some papers with our accountant yesterday (no lectures on procrastination please!) and it just so happens that his new office is somewhat close to my favorite thrift store. Kind of a “bleh” day as far as thrifting went but I did pick up some extremely cute measuring cups.
Who couldn’t love [...]

Morning Walk

I do some of my best thinking when I’m walking. Most mornings I run with Daft Punk blaring on my iPod so there’s not much room for pensive thought but every once and a while I just feel like walking. It’s amazing how a four mile walk can clear out the cobwebs in your [...]

Leaves

Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf,
So Eden sank to grief;
So dawn goes down to day,
Nothing gold can stay.Nothing Gold Can Stay, Robert Frost

Rocking Chairs

Finally found some rocking chairs for the porch, woohoo! We thought about doing a porch swing but it would be months by the time we finally got around to finding one we liked and then another couple weeks until we could hang it from the beams…it would be Winter again before we could hang [...]
