Just something pretty on this Wednesday morning: That’s right. It’s a glass chicken available at Pier One. I want it. Badly.
Fun
Well Rested
Because of the way the holidays fell this year, The Boy and I were able to enjoy a four day weekend. And enjoy we did! We celebrated Christmas, went for a couple of long(er) runs, cooked up a storm, lazed around with the furbabies, went to bed early and got up late, discovered new stories […]
Choo-Choo!
While out and about, I stopped to cross another holiday-related 101 off my List: I visited the Trains at NorthPark Center. The exhibit, which has been on display at the glorious NorthPark Center the same amount of time that I’ve known The Boy (13 years), benefits the Ronald McDonald House of Dallas. In fact, the exhibit provides […]
Shop Love
I’ve hit nearly every Christmas decor selling shop in north Texas looking for a particular wreath (to no avail) over the past few weeks. Two observations: Far too many stores already have Christmas items on clearance. As if it’s insulting enough to endure Christmas-on-display in late September, now I can’t even find what I’d like […]
That Was Quick
I love Words with Friends. But I don’t love Words with Friends when I have terrible letters – like all consonants, or nearly all vowels. Ergh. And that was the situation the other day during a hot-and-heavy game with Baby Sister. In frustration, I asked The Boy, What is a word that uses four i’s? […]
Checking the List
Not my Christmas list…that would be a miracle. I’m way behind on shopping (and decorating and cooking and…) But somehow, I did find time to stop at the library for one last checkout for 2011: Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom. And with that, I had one more goal to check off my 101 list […]
Sucking my Soul Away…One Pin at a Time
Oh Pinterest, how I love thee. You are the repository for all of the projects I daydream of having time to do and the source of much angst regarding my over-full schedule (and over-full project room upstairs). If I’m not careful, my next 101 list will be nothing but my Pinterest projects. Sigh. Source
But Wait, There’s More
Just when you thought it was safe to check something off of your 101 List….this lands in your email inbox: Wonder what The Boy would say if I showed him this great deal?
Boogity Boogity Boogity!
I spent Sunday in redneck heaven – at the Texas Motor Speedway for the NASCAR AAA Texas 500. There were tattoos, cut off t-shirts, baseball caps, chewing tobacco, and more sponsorship patches than you can imagine. But there were also stands full of the nicest people ever, all of us struggling to hear (with or […]
