We’re Getting Married!

Monday, October 13th, 2008

For those who haven’t heard, Dave and I recently became engaged!!  Hooray!!  He popped the question last week on October 8th – my birthday.  Dave came over and made a dynamite birthday dinner and then asked if I wanted my present.  I said sure and he said close your eyes…..I pulled my hand away from [...]

Jacob Brockhoff on the Bonnie Hunt Show

Monday, September 22nd, 2008

Everyone, start your coffee pots!  It’s Monday morning!!  But today isn’t just any Monday morning, its the first day of Fall!  Fall is by far my favorite season.  Back to school, the turning leaves, crisp autumn air….I love it all.  What’s more, today is Bonnie Hunt’s birthday.  You may recognize Bonnie from the big screen [...]

Life in Valencia, Spain: Festival de Christianos y Moros

Thursday, September 18th, 2008

I had the awesome opportunity to live in Spain for 3 months after college.  “Spain Life” involved a large amount of discovery, spontaneity, and exploration.  On this city excursion, we stumbled upon the Festival de Cristianos y Moros.  Historically, the Christians and Moors have battled over the lands and rights to Spain for centuries.  Still [...]

Get Your Scent On; Glade 2 in 1 Candles

Wednesday, September 17th, 2008

So it’s true. I am a victim of consumerism. After repeatedly seeing/hearing the Glade Commercial Lady try and convince her friends that she was at a fancy schmancy spa or that her mood-setting yoga candles were imported from France, I couldn’t help but remember Glade Essential Oils Candles on my trip to Target this evening. [...]

Love and Appreciate All the Women in Your Life

Wednesday, September 17th, 2008

Another great email from Grandpa.  If you’re a woman, you gotta love this one!  If you’re not a woman, pay very close attention! Quote for the Day “Whatever you give a woman, she’s going to multiply. If you give her sperm, she’ll give you a baby. If you give her a house, she’ll give you [...]

Vegas Video Poker Yields Royal Flush

Wednesday, September 17th, 2008

Uh uh, think it can’t happen? Think again!! It did! Last night, while I was dining on my lucky and and very rare broken eggs, my boyfriend was having some luck of his own at the Monte Carlo in Las Vegas when he was dealt a royal flush on video poker. He surely enjoyed this [...]

Broken Eggs for Broken Hearts

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

Alright, so I don’t really have a broken heart. But, as a Cardiac Nurse, I did take care of a lot of broken hearts today. Seven to be exact. Anywho…I decided on eggs for dinner and this is what ended up on my plate. I didn’t attempt to shape them, cut them, place them or [...]

Carnation Milk is Best of All

Friday, September 12th, 2008

My Grandfather is famous for great forwards. And yes, I know what you are probably thinking….Forwards….blah blah blah….time consuming and always the same old threats on your love live, friendships, and wealth. But the great thing about Gramp’s choice forwards is that they are always good. And even greater – my Grandpa is 87 years [...]

Photos of Michigan

Tuesday, September 9th, 2008

This summer I took a trip home to visit friends and family and I was able to snap a few great photos along the way! I love the mitten. Seriously. The first photo was taken from a pontoon boat on Silver Lake. There is also a great view from on top of the dune. If [...]

Ragtime, Saugatuck, and Charlie’s Around the Corner Ice Cream Shop

Monday, September 8th, 2008

Well, it’s true.  I’m definitely a sucker for Rag.  I came accross Ross MacLachlan today listening to The Rack on The Sixty One.  The rack is a feature that allows listeners to listen to songs of their chosen genre that are not yet on the homepage.  I racked, or raked, in a good find today!  [...]
