Yesterday was super fun mail day at my house. I was a winner in Go Fish’s blogaversary contest and for my prize Nicole sent me a beautiful handmade journal: . I also received my Summer Vacation Swap box from Hovey! It was full of great things: travel sized lotion, foot scrub, leave in conditioner, lip…

I’m taking part in the May Day project today. I think it’s a very interesting project. You take at least 6 pictures of what you’re doing today, ideally a picture an hour. We tend to take pictures of the “big” events in our lives, but I think the day to day events are just as…

Yesterday I met my sister and nephew out for lunch at the mall. Jake just gets bigger and cuter every time I see him. Then I finished up my Vacation swap shopping. All I have left to do is my craft, which is tres fabulous I must admit. I hope Stef likes everything! I ordered…

Sunday we pulled up the old rug in the kitchen to lay down the new one and made a gruesome discovery. While we were shopping at IKEA our kitty girls were apparently stalking and killing a poor innocent little gecko. He was flattened and missing his tail and hidden under the kitchen rug.

I’m back at work. Those two weeks both flew by and lasted forever at the same time. It all ended on a high note though with our mini holiday. We drove up to Woodbridge, VA and met up with Rachel and Brian for dinner at Macaroni Grill. It was our first time there and it…

One of the most bizarre side effects of the many medications I’m on right now is that I’m apparently talking in my sleep. So much so that poor J awakes to full on conversations involving hand movements and even laughter. He said it’s mostly unintelligible, raspy, and hoarse but he makes out a few words…

Where do you keep your pajamas when they aren’t being used? Not the clean ones that are in the drawer. When you wake up in the morning and let’s assume you’ll put those same ones back on that night, what do you do with them? Apparently J and I are a little weird because over…

Yesterday my sister Sara, bil Marc and nephew Jake came over to visit for the afternoon. It was such a welcome visit! I was dying for some socialization. Not being able to drive or talk on the phone will do that to you. So we hung out all afternoon, grilled out and watched The Transporter.…
