My mom is still asleep (as she should be on Mother’s Day) so I’m sneaking in this blog post before I make her breakfast, work in the yard and enjoy my last little bit of time at home. As usual, it’s been wonderful back in Chicago and I’ve been running around like crazy. Yesterday my [...]
I’m in the midst of a lazy morning right now and, must admit, I’m loving it. It’s feeling like a pajamas day already. This weekend has been the best of everything: time with friends, time with family, a bit of shopping, Mexican food, Derby shenanigans and a good Shrek viewing party with my cousin. What [...]
We have arrived at the last weekend in April and it’s been a dreary one up here in MN. I was up early yesterday and even witnessed some snow! Thankfully that was just a short phase and things are looking a bit better today, still cloudy, but I’ll take that over snow. I’ve got a [...]
It’s not even 10 o’clock and I’m feeling like I’ve accomplished something this weekend: I can now see the floor of my bedroom. It has been covered in clothes, laundry, papers, shoes and who knows what else for at least a week. Phew, it’s now gone and I can breathe again. Now I’m off to [...]
I’m having a writer’s block moment right now. I just stared at the computer screen for five whole minutes pondering an opening sentence for this blog post. For now, I’ll blame this cold/allergy attack I’m fighting and hope that I’m back on my game tomorrow. At least, I’ve got some wonderful links to share! • [...]
I left you hanging yesterday, so sorry about that. We lingered at the Easter feast back home, made some pit stops on the way back to Minnesota and by the time we pulled into the driveway I was spent. I had one of those nights where I didn’t even move from the spot where I [...]
And it’s April, folks. 2012, please slow down. You are absolutely flying by at a rate that I have never experienced before. Am I the only one who’s feeling this way? I can’t be. At least, it has been a good and busy first quarter of the year. Can’t complain about that! But, enough about [...]
I’m just watching the finale of Project Runway All-Stars and while I’m so, so happy for the winner, I’m more excited that I don’t have to listen to that host anymore. Bring me back Heidi! Anyone else sick of her choppy, monotone jibber jabbeR? Anyway, onto happy things. Yesterday was a very successful day of [...]
My gals have left for the weekend, but they brought my ice cream maker from home so I think I’ll bury my sorrows in a bowl of homemade delicious-ness. I haven’t made ice cream in ages, but I think it will all come back to me once I get started. If all else fails I [...]
Oh man, waking up and remembering you skipped ahead an hour is kind of a rough way to start your day. But we’ve got blue skies and high temperatures for the second day in a row so I’m thinking I may need to bust out my bike and cruise around the lake. An unusual treat [...]
