Daniel and I have had a big weekend. Even though we were tuckered out from Thanksgiving, we made our way downtown last night to attend the West Point Society’s beat Hawaii cocktail mixer/pep rally. The event details online said “doors open at 6:30” so we figured arriving around 7:15 was no big deal. Wrong. We … Continue reading
Thanksgiving 2013 was a huge success! Because you can’t sample the all the delicious food we ate yesterday, I decided share a taste of our Thanksgiving in 10 photos. 1. The boys had a very stressful morning keeping themselves out of the kitchen. After an exhausting trip to the park, I caught Kirk and Beck … Continue reading
Tonight’s post will be brief since I want to get some good rest before Thanksgiving festivities begin! Last year I posted lots of photos, but I neglected to provide links to all of the recipes. Bad idea. What a pain it has been to track them down! This year I am wiser. For your reference … Continue reading
Well, I didn’t exactly catch up on sleep last night. I slept snug as a bug in my cozy covers for about 3 hours until Daniel got out of bed at 2:00am to check on a noise coming from the front room. When I saw him peer around the frame of our bedroom door, as … Continue reading
Remember the other night when I mentioned it was chilly? By chilly I meant freezing. When you’re used to the sweltering summer days here, anything below 79 seems nippy, and anything below 69 is downright cold. It’s been in the low 60s at night for the last few days, which for most of you reading … Continue reading
Happy Birthday Daniel!!! 29, how does it feel? Daniel is about three and a half years older that me, but we have a little joke that each year he is aging at a faster pace so that when he turns 60 I’ll still be in my 30’s. Even if that’s not the case, maybe I’ll … Continue reading
Karma is a you know what. Yesterday I commented on some Facebooker’s obsession with making others feel totally frantic and unprepared for Thanksgiving. I even made some snarky sarcastic mention that commissary was going to be out of butter. As if that would ever happen [insert eye roll]. The rampant threats of bare shelves were not getting under my skin, but rather I wanted to spend the better part … Continue reading
It’s that time again. I regret it has been nearly eight months – eight! – since I have made any noise on my blog. Lame. Does it count that I’ve been thinking about re-establishing the daily updates since August? Not likely. I was re-reading my posts from thanksgiving last year because I desperately need to make a grocery list for … Continue reading
Happy Easter!! Daniel got home from a month long training assignment in Germany last night! You didn’t know he was gone? Well, then I did a good job keeping it quiet. I don’t like to advertise when he’s away. Too many Law & Order episodes I guess. But now he is home and back on … Continue reading
Ketchup is one of the condiments that I’ve recently developed a palate for. Unfortunately, it’s not paleo. Instead of eating ketchup, I’m playing ‘ketchup’ tonight. Bad joke. I won’t recap my days at work (which have been totally fun, and challenging, and exhausting, and revitalizing, and did I mention exhausting?). I will, however, give a … Continue reading
