We had a bit of fun with our annual Clear the Shelter event (it’s held nationwide). The thought was…who doesn’t like cute animal photos? The answer is: The only people who don’t like animal photos are people without a heart. And they aren’t our target audience. So to celebrate animals heading to their fur-ever homes, we decided […]
Fun
The Next (Gen) Step
My friend A, who knows all things beauty, suggested I give Next-Gen nails a try when I wasn’t sure what I thought of my gel manicure. So I did: Another great, long-lasting performance. This is about 5 weeks later on the day I had them removed: Yet again, my nails underneath took a bit of […]
Up Up and Almost Away
Well, it wasn’t quite a balloon ride, but I did get an off-the-ground experience in a hot air balloon. (I should finish that sentence with punctuation reflective of my emotion in the moment. Let me add on: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) We (the City) received a new hot air balloon earlier this year. Although she’d been tested and flown […]
Finishing a Yelp 100
I’ve been half-heartedly engaged on Yelp (a review website). I upload reviews, every now and then answer a question and otherwise leave it be. And in truth, much more of the latter now because 1) who has time and 2) I’ve noticed some people on the Yelp site Live For Yelp rather than Living For […]
It’s a Little Plano Everywhere
One of these days I’ll actually be caught up with the goings on in our lives, but until then we soldier on… Since this blog is for myself as much as it is for anyone else, I didn’t want to forget the It’s a Little Plano madness that swept through North Texas earlier this year. […]
May and June Work Roundup
May and June went by in a flash! (And since it’s nearly the end of the month, it looks like I could say the same for July.) What all happened in the Fun Work World? I returned to The Real Estate Council’s Fight Night fundraiser. I hadn’t been in years, but it’s still just as over-the-top […]
Kentucky by Road and Foot
Wrapping up our time in Kentucky with some snaps of the scenery. It was so beautiful and green there… We spent a little time exploring historic Bardstown by foot: The sunrises… And some of the roads made it easy to envision what life was like in the horse-and-carriage days… Were you aware that many […]
Traveling Kentucky’s Bourbon Trail (Part 2)
We were determined people – no snow storm would keep us from finishing the Kentucky Bourbon Trail this year. Because we were in the area in the spring (again – this time for the Nashville full/half marathon), we headed back to Kentucky to pick up what we’d missed in January. Stop One: Corsair Distillery We […]
Gel Manicures and Boy Pedicures
Checking off another 101 list item (gel manicure) and a life goal (convince Kelly to get a pedicure). Success!
Traveling Kentucky’s Bourbon Trail (Part 1)
Kelly and I have long wanted to “do” the Kentucky Bourbon Trail. We like bourbon and we really like to see how things are made. Here’s a summary of our first trip on the Bourbon Trail (cut short due to weather) and some tips and tricks if you’re interested in planning your own trip.
