My thoughts for the day: It’s so exciting to finish a book, but so sad when you realize you’ve finished. I love that one of my best friends can just stop in on her way to and from Canada and the US. Even if it’s just for 20 minutes. I love finding common bonds with […]
The One with the Humidity
I am ashamed slash proud of the fact that I used the pinesol, mop and mop bucket for the first time this morning (very nice supplies thanks to Elizabeth). I sweep (especially our bathroom) about twice a week, I vacuum about that much, I clean the sinks when they get dirty and the same goes […]
The One with the Clouds
I’ve had the urge to whip up a batch of good ol’ fashion chocolate chip cookies. Our “snack” selection is running a little bland, so I thought this homemade goodness would be just the remedy. I decided to make only half a batch since we’re leaving for my hometown on Friday. That said, despite the […]
The One with the Potluck
We were pleasantly surprised when we got to church today. Being gone for two weeks keeps pertinent information from you. There was an all-church potluck following the morning service. Three cheers for that! [side note: what on earth is the origin of the term “pot. luck.”? You bring a pot of something and you get […]
The One with the Bookshelves
Isn’t it funny how on the days you can sleep in, you still manage to wake up at the same time your dreadful alarm normally sounds? Maybe you don’t know what I’m talking about (and if you don’t count yourself blessed), but that’s what happens to me every weekend. But you know what, even though […]
on nerf guns & coffee mugs
Can I just say how excited I was yesterday when I realized what geniuses we were for getting married Memorial Day weekend!? It occurred to me that for the rest of our lives, our anniversary will fall on a holiday that happens to give us a three day weekend. How sweet is that?! (oh, and […]
me:::a to z
ok, before I start the second post of the day, I must admit that the “a to z” portion of this title reminded me of the Friends episode where Chandler, Rachel, and Phoebe are trying to find their Christmas gifts from Monica. Instead they come across their gifts from Chandler…one of which is a set […]
On dating
A date is what you make of it. That’s what I say. That’s what I’m learning. Yesterday around 2pm, Kevin sent me a message from work saying there was a staff vs. organic lab soccer game at 3pm (apparently there was this big tunry all summer and this was the “finals”.) He asked me if […]
The things that make you go “awwwww”
Kevin’s parents’ outdoor cat, Twiggy, had four kittens about five weeks ago. Kevin and I stopped by the house the first weekend of family camp and I was dying to see the little guys. I had never seen kittens so tiny and so adorable. They fit right in the palm of Kevin’s had. We both […]
