There was a point when we were scared of Hurricane Florence–that point where the hurricane was forecast to be category 5 making landfall directly on our house. In the end, she came onshore as a massive storm that caused major flooding and annoyance for all of us — food shortages, traffic, logistical nightmares, and going without power. We were lucky […]
Rob and I never lived together before we got married, and when we finally did get married and move in together, we had a lot of fun playing Rock Band (the video game). We named our band in the game Flesh Eating Champagne, and the name has stayed with us since. When we need to come up with a team […]
When I began running, I think I did what a lot of people do. I pulled on some clothes I found around the house, laced up the most decent sneakers I had in the closet, and went out for week 1, day 1 of couch to 5K training. That was May 1, 2014. I ran my first 5K on July […]
View this Course on MapMyFitness This is my least favorite circle to run in Windjammer Village. The hill…. Now it’s a course, so everyone can do it and compete!
I love, love, love the concept of wearing socks with sandals. This photo shows me trying out this style with my brand new pair of OTBT Black Trenton’s (that I got on final-pair sale for a great deal at Lori’s Shoes of Chicago). These shoes are super-cute, comfy, and make me about 6′-4″ (eye-to-eye with my husband). They’re great, and […]
I was recently reading Apartment Therapy’s post on warm and cool people (find by clicking here) and their design styles. I am definitely a warm person. Rob and I have created a home full of tchotchkes and things that make us smile. Our problems are weeding out stuff we don’t use and organizing the stuff we do use. (Rob may […]
Some saved wildlife stamps… (why did I save these for years?)
On Sunday, April 19th, 2009, Rob and I our first wedding anniversary–the paper one. We were really lucky that some of our family members were able to come over to our apartment and celebrate with us. We made everyone try our year old cake, which was actually quite tasty. Click on the image for a larger view. When we cut […]
Erin came up this past weekend. We had a blast. On Saturday Night, we even managed to have a girl’s night (with Mama too)!
I thought that I would take the opportunity to show everyone to my favorite shoe company ever: Re-Mix Vintage Shoes. If you ever need to buy me a present, any of their shoes (in size 11-yay! they make 11) would be a perfect, though expensive, gift.
It wasn’t snowing when i got back from the gym this morning at 6:50am, but by the time I left for work at 7:30–it was coming down in Little River. I took some photos to document the whole thing because snow is so rare in this part of the world. The best was watching my cats. They’d never seen snow […]
October 11th will be here VERY SOON! This past weekend I went down to Savannah to help Erin celebrate a surprise bridal shower that some very lovely ladies helped put together for her. Pictures here.
Pirates in Little River?
I couldn’t help taking these pictures of my adorable cat, Trixie, helping Rob play Warcraft. Grrrrrrr.
