In over my head

I have a problem.  Well technically several problems all with the same source.  I can’t seem to get a project done.  We’ve chatted before about my tendency to leave projected unfinished, but this time is different (I think). I am currently working on several projects that are progressing nicely; however, each time I begin it [...]

Fashion Websites Lie

I have tried the sock bun.  I have tried the mesh doughnut contraptions you get from the drug store.  I have teased and twisted, and wrapped my hair. I must be doing something wrong.  I was going for this: & got this: Do you know how hard it is to take a picture of the [...]

My 1st Book and Movie Review

Ever since moving to Florida, Beau and I have an insatiable hunger for books.  We each read approximately a book a month.  That may not sound like a lot but when you take into the account our long work days, 1-2 hour daily gym session, 2 dogs, keeping up a two-story 3 bedroom home, and [...]

GMATing me crazy

Superman, messaged me today “that’s quite the blogging break you’re taking, eh?.”  As I detailed all the things in life that got in the way of posting, I suddenly realized how much I really had to blog about. So as promised, I am back to impart wisdom, share my views, and just generally update you [...]

Are you mad at me?

I wouldn’t blame you if you were.  It’s been ages, but with everything that’s been going on “behind the scenes” it feels like time has FLOWN by. In the past two weeks, since we last chatted, I Started reading Shades of Grey, finished ready ALL 3 books in the trilogy Attempted to golf for the [...]

Down on the Farm

Beau & I spent a beautiful weekend in Duck Key participating in an Engineering Conference for his work.  The association meeting was held at Hawk’s Cay Resort.  The resort was gorgeous, overlooking the beautiful clear blue water with little tiki huts scattered across the ocean front. I’m typically not a huge fan of hotel room [...]

Spoil me

There are a few things that I do to spoil myself.  I like to get my hair done at a nice salon (although I haven’t found one I love in FL yet).  I take bubble baths when I’m stressed out, I keep my finger & toe nails painted.  For the day-to-day, I usually paint my [...]

I will punch him

At the request of Walnuthead, I am transcribing one of our recent conversations to share with you. Me:  ”So Beau’s been running again.” Walnuthead: ” That’s good.” Me:  ”Yeah, I guess.” WH: “Why do you sound so disappointed?” Me:  ”Well it’s not like he’s out of shape & I’ve been busting my @$$ for close [...]

Knick, Knack, Paddy-Whack

White Elephant

One of my favorite parts of decorating is the knickknacks.  You can completely change a room with just a few pieces, the addition of a new accent color, or even by a little rearranging. A few weekends ago Lallisola and I went antiquing.  We did it up – flea markets, antique stores, consignment stores – [...]
