Welcome to September!

(You can download your own version of this wallpaper here.) I’ve only been here since about 6:00am, myself, but I can already tell it’s going to be a great month. FIRST of all, it’s fall time, which means pumpkin time. Pumpkin bread and pumpkin spice lattés for me, pumpkin BEER for my husband. We wait [...]

Foggy

In Lupus, My 24th Year on 31 August 2010 with 3 comments

Last weekend, I was doing my FAVORITE weekend thing and making breakfast for myself and Rocky.  I put the eggs on to fry, added a little salt, and then grabbed a glass for my juice and a plate for my eggs. I turned around, opened the fridge, and pulled out the orange juice. I turned [...]

Anniversary Shenanigans!

In My 24th Year on 10 August 2010 with 1 comment

Would that be Shenanniversarygans? We had a Biltmore adventure! Josh and I have been married for a YEAR. Can you believe it? This time has seriously flown by. Why? Why did the stressful pre-wedding jitters and anxiety seem to crawl through the countdown? Why did time speed up only now that we’re happy and relaxed [...]

Let’s catch up, shall we?

In My 24th Year on 17 July 2010 with no comments

Good morning! It’s been a while, yeah? Sorry for that. Wanna catch up? Grab yourself a cup of coffee! We got a French press lately, and I am loving it. It’s not something I have time for on weekday mornings, but boy do I enjoy my Saturday coffee. Josh digs it, too. This morning it’s [...]

Rockwell had things right.

(left: “Little Brother Listens In,” Saturday Evening Post. Right: “The Tuxedo,” Leslie Thrasher. I was doing some image research at work today — specifically looking at “The Saturday Evening Post.” I was reminded of how much I love creamy, Rockwell-ian images like these. Do you ever get the feeling you were maybe born in the [...]

Road Weary

In My 24th Year on 13 June 2010 with 1 comment

So Josh and I headed to Charlotte yesterday for an engagement party for some dear friends. We packed our bags and our puppy and hit the road – and I realized that we drive a LOT. Like. A lot a lot. Like, 12,000 miles on our car since October a lot. We’ve probably spent as [...]

Hello, June!

(June wallpaper courtesy of this Smashing Magazine post.) So far, I love June. Thunderstorms, sunshine, pool parties, cookouts (and all those delicious grilling smells that follow), the MEAT I’m allowing myself to eat this month (I’m lookin’ at you, bacon). Yup. June is turning out to be just my style. Jennifer and I got to [...]

My big announcement:

In My 24th Year on 29 May 2010 with no comments

First of all: he likes me. We’re pretty much BFF. So! Some of you may have seen my big announcement on facebook and twitter. If you didn’t, let me recap. I got the job! Many of you didn’t know I was even applying for the job – things happened fast, which was for the best [...]

I can do anything good, better than anyone.

Ok, so I know we’ve almost all seen this video at this point, but I just had to post it here. This little girl has it down! Something that I took years to learn – that “I can do anything good, better than anyone,” – she’s on it. She knows it. And she tells herself! [...]

That funny honey of mine…

In My 24th Year on 24 May 2010 with 3 comments

Josh is great at giving gifts. He always strikes the perfect balance between funny, sweet, and “I didn’t know I wanted this, but I DID and it’s PERFECT!” Before we got married, he put together a little series of comics about our life together so far. I know. Seriously the best. He keeps telling me [...]
