What a Decade! What a Year!

I’ve read so many posts about the end of this year and after watching the morning news I realized, it’s also the end of a decade. A decade. Ten years that have flown by like a blink in time. So full of history and memories. For me, for this country and for the world. I…

(almost) Wordless Wednesday

In all of the hullabaloo that was Christmas this year, I promised a post about Christmas cookies… and I FORGOT! Oh, the shame.  So, taking a cue from Mrs. Allyson and her hilarious cat, I present you with my (almost) Wordless Wednesday Christmas Recap featuring the Neon Christmas Cookies. (There are crowns and shoes and…

Blotting My Brow

After a minor (hands-shaking-over-the-mouse-major) freak out, I clicked the import button and thank my lucky stars… everything was moved successfully. Oh, WordPress, I’m in love. However, I can’t find a background that I love, so this is what we have from now until March when I spring for the big girl blog and have someone…

I need help. And widgets.

I had an epiphany. Or rather, I read something disturbing. Or possibly both simultaneously. Blogger apparently owns all of my content. (and yours too, if you’re a blogger blogger.) That’s right. At any given moment they could shut me (or you) down and never have another thought about it. So I bit the bullet I…

Hello world!

WordPress….  oh boy.

“Every time a bell rings…”

I was all prepared to write about my neon Christmas cookies and how they might possibly be more than able to glow in the dark, but then I remembered about another post I needed to write and decided on that instead. My friend Ally over at Magnolias and Mimosas posted a blog about the reality…

What have *I* been doing?

I made a promise to myself that I would not blog until I finished my essays for school. I’m done with one and the other is in my head, it just needs to be written down. Also, I wrote another article (since it’s been a month). Here’s the link…Coffee’s Crappy Side: Kopi Luwak and Jacu…

Come on, Get Happy!

I’m a winner! And Lauren (Salt) at Salt Says… said so! First, I finally found a recipe for chocolate chip cookies with wine in them. Remember THAT day? So random… So stupid… So typical of my days… Anyway, Lauren said that “I win at the internet.” (!!!!) And then she gave me this fancy schmancy…

I bet you won’t complain about decorating ever again…

You know Macy’s, that department store? They throw a cute little parade every year? Mmhm, if you put our living room in their furniture department, no one would be the wiser. We are fighting off the Grinch, stopping Scrooge in his tracks, even, yep, I’ll say it, Martha Stewart would be proud! I haven’t been…

“Oh, Oviler…”

When Oliver (or Oviler, as I like to call him) and I met we took one look at each other (me wishing he wasn’t gay because gosh, he’s cute. and look at those glasses! him tallying up how much my outfit didn’t cost and admiring my great hair and crazy blue eyes) and became insta-friends…
