I love the theme music for NPR‘s Morning Edition. It makes me happy. I also love the smell of fresh bread. And if you’re really nice to me, I’ll post a tutorial this weekend on how to make super-easy artisan bread. Promise.

Busy Schedules…
No joke – we’ve been emailing back and forth with friends, trying to schedule dinner and hanging out at our house. We’ve compared calendars and have suggested 14 different dates in two different months with no luck. The days of dropping in at a friend’s house in Kenya for dinner and long conversation seem so far […]
Signs You’re Ill
For other people, signs you’re ill may include fever, nausea, chills, aches and pains. I have all of those, for sure, but the biggest sign of illness for Shannah is an absolute lack of energy. I rarely sit in one place, let alone lay in one place, for long. For the past three days I’ve […]
Is it Just Me?
Or does August seem like the loooooongest month ever? Really – there are still two weekends left in the month. The Boy’s theory is that the heat makes time go by slowly. The clock’s melted, perhaps? Whatever’s caused the eternal month, I suppose I should be happy. After all, this weekend I’ll finally have time […]
Tweaking My Philosophy
I never been a person to look over my shoulder. I’m rarely bothered by “what if’s” and “I wish I would haves.” I just don’t find it productive and besides, every decision is just one more step on the pathway of what my life has become. Somehow wrapped up in the “no regrets” life, I’ve […]
I’m On Trend – Just a Little Late
Have you heard of jeggings? If you said no, count yourselves in my age group (or older). There’s no shame in admitting it. Anyway, they were one of the top clothing items in 2010. I’ve seen them all over the style blogs and, despite the fact that we’re now over halfway through 2011 (thus meaning […]
What Would You Do?
Real life situation…real life question: I was at the store the other day, waiting behind two other customers to check out. While I was waiting, I watched a woman’s 2-year-old son grab bits and bobs from the “temptation racks.” He shoved two small toys in his pockets and rolled a piece of candy in the bottom […]
Bah! Sleepless Nights Ruin Everything
I had a great weekend…until last night, that is. I managed to get a ton of scrapbooking done (shhh…I’m nearly caught up!), went to see a movie, got in a long run, caught up on podcasts/laundry/cooking, and sat and rested. Then I couldn’t sleep last night. I hate that.
Random Roundup Friday
It’s hot. I can’t think. At least, I can’t think coherently about anything. Here’s a roundup of the random bits of a Hayley week. I’ve been spending a lot of my spare time in Photoshop. I wonder why? Our lives have been so busy that I actually had to take a vacation day to go grocery […]
Ah, the Irony
Dealing with weather like this: Makes it hard to remember that nearly six months ago we were dealing with weather like this: {Gentle request: Please no comments about global warming. I have no sense of humor when I’m sweating.}
