After reading my post on cleaning with vinegar and baking soda, Laurie, a college friend of mine, gave me a great suggestion. She could tell I was leaning toward the more “natural” way of life, and thought I might be interested in an all natural facial cleanser. After check out the link for The Oil […]
The One with the Anniversary Amusement
Yes, our anniversary was a lovely day spent together. We went out for the best ice cream in town. We sat in the park and talked while enjoying the creamy goodness. We took a stroll. We went out to Johnny Rockets for dinner. We came home and read side by side. And finished the night […]
The One with our Second Year
Last night was the series finale of the best television show ever made.* *In my educated opinion, of course. If you know TV and you know me, then you know I’m referring to LOST. Unfortunately I can’t say a whole lot about the 2 and 1/2 hour episode. Because it started at 9pm. And I was […]
The One with the Rainy Day Sales
Another day of rain. I thought April showers were supposed to bring May flowers. But I don’t remember April having much rain at all. And I’m pretty sure rain has dictated the forecast for this pre-summer month. At least the temps are almost where they should be. I’m finally realizing SUMMER is just around the corner. I […]
The One with the Big Five-O
Yesterday I was delighted to discover I had reached the “fifty followers” mark. I should probably give Number Fifty a prize don’t you think? Well. Get this. It was my HUSBAND. I know, right? Two things come to mind. 1. How did he wait this long to become a blog follower? and 2. How in the […]
The One where Twitter Deals Work for Me
You all know I’m all about the good deals, right? I mean, seriously. That’s pretty much the first thing people know about me. I am a bargain hunter. I hate spending money. But when I do I shop for THE lowest price. And I won’t stop until I know I’ve found it. Thanks, Dad, for this […]
The One with a Walk Down the Aisle
You may recall my look back on college graduation last week? Well, it’s only appropriate that today, just a week later, I share my beautiful memories of our wedding day. Because, two years ago, that’s exactly when it happened. We graduated Saturday, May 17th, 2008. We were married Saturday, May 24th, 2008. It was a […]
The One with Gils
It came. I can’t believe it came. I heard the doorbell ring. I peered out and saw the USPS truck. And I nearly squealed. I took a moment, ran to the door, and tried to look “normal” before greeting the mail lady. Sure enough. The box was the right size. I tore into it and […]
The One where God’s Plan Trumps ALL
Where do I begin? Hmmm. Kevin and I have been experiencing the hand of God is some undeniable ways these past days. Our plan for our lives has been, well, uprooted. In Mere Christianity, C.S. Lewis says the only way to truly hand over our whole selves to God, is to “be ploughed up and […]
The One with the Business Card
What a perfectly fantastic day for garage sale shopping. (I would just write “garage saling” but “saling” just doesn’t seem proper. I’m pretty sure it’s not a word at all. But that’s the word I say when I’m going shopping at garage sales. Oh well.) I had checked out Craigslist all week to scope out possible sales. There […]
