I am not ashamed to admit that I’ve DVR’d every minute of the Diamond Jubilee events and am avidly following the British Monarchy’s twitter feed. Pomp and circumstance and all of that.

I Need A Weekend
Have you ever woken up on a Monday feeling as though you need a weekend to recover from your weekend? I have – and today was one such day after one such weekend. Saturday 7 am: Running group meeting (6:30 am Hayley Home departure time) 10 am: Spa (ok, not stressful, but still time consuming) […]
RIP to My Favorites
The networks have released their schedules for the fall. For the Hayleys, that means it’s an opportunity for us to learn which of the shows that we love have gotten the axe. I’ve noticed a disturbing trend – if a television show is mindless, features sophomoric humor and/or is “reality” based, it will receive a […]
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!
I apologize for the post title. I couldn’t resist. My friend, JuJBe, helped me check another 101 List item off this week – attend a major league soccer game. Though it’s been unseasonably warm in Dallas this week, the weather was perfect for enjoying a game of footy between FC Dallas and Real Salt Lake […]
A Stroll Through the Arboretum
Until yesterday, I’ve only been to the Dallas Arboretum one time – 1998, the year before The Boy and I were married. Until yesterday, The Boy had never been to the Dallas Arboretum. This is why I put things like “Attend the Dallas Blooms Festival” on my 101 List. If I didn’t, it might be […]
Peponi (Coldplay…Swahili Style)
We love Coldplay. A lot. {Concert review here.} But we also really love this cover of Coldplay’s Paradise and think you will, too:
Music, Glorious Music
On a whim, I stopped in at a local Dallas church to listen to a cello concert this weekend. It was part of a salon-style Performing Arts concert series. Over the course of an hour and half (give or take some), the principal cellist of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, Christopher Adkins, led us on an […]
I’m Just Looking for Section 212
If you are going to go to a game – a very big game, like the Cotton Bowl – I think you would be wise to print out instructions on how to get to your seat. You need instructions in case you find yourselves in a situation like we did, attending a pep rally on […]
The Cotton Bowl
As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, we took my parents to the Cotton Bowl last week. We had lots and lots of fun, even though we didn’t win the game. But this post isn’t about all of the people that were there. Nor is about the purple overload that surrounded us during the K-State pep rally. Nor the crazy […]
Pay it Forward
For Christmas, one of my coworkers gave me this: In the spirit of the holiday season, I decided to pay my gift certificate forward. While I was out doing some last minute holiday errands on a day off, I pulled in to a very busy Starbucks drive-through line. It was so busy that another driver […]
