Although reading for pleasure is not a New Year's Resolution for me this year, I've kept up my reading for pleasure habit quite well since 2011! I just thought I'd share with you what I've been reading, and my thoughts about each read. If you are interested in reading about other books I've read/reviewed check out HERE, HERE, HERE and HERE. If you are interested in making yourself a slip cover for your Kindle check out HERE.Ok, since January I've read a surprising number of books! So be prepared for another LOOOOOOONNNNNNGGGG...
Every now and again I get out my trusty-dusty sewing machine and put it to good use. Today was one of those days :) I recently found an online tutorial/blog post about making a slip cover for a Kindle...
Living in the city has its perks! For Greg's b-day we got tickets to go see Jim Gaffigan, who was performing just a hop, skip, and a jump away from our apartment! His performance was in the Warfield...
As Greg and I embark on this new journey into "human" parenthood (shout out to Garbanzo---I love you buddy!), I've been thinking about traditions. Growing up my mom always made a big fancy dinner on Sundays. When I studied abroad, my host mother also made a big fancy dinner on Sundays (a multi-course, hours long dinner). At some point my mom changed the tradition to having breakfast for dinner on Sundays, which I admit was/is fun. However, I really liked a more formal dinner. So, I think having a weekly "nice...
These days everywhere I turn, everywhere I look I see babies. Friends are having babies, other bloggers are having babies, my nieces are still just babies. I see babies on TV, I see babies in my sleep. I'm going to baby showers, and visiting friends with babies. Well, it must be catching because....wait for it..... Greg and I are having a BABY! It's true. It's been real hard to not tell all of you. It's been a pretty big secret to carry around for the last few months, but I'm afraid I can't hide it much longer...
My dear friend and college roommate keeps a recipe blog. Quite a while back she had a recipe up for pizza dough/sauce. I love pizza so I thought I'd try it out. As I got to it, I realized that her...
I haven't been blogging much these days. But for whatever reason I decided to post at my shared blog kthroughv.com. Then I found myself reading through past posts. I like that blog. Vanessa and I have done a pretty good job writing about fun/interesting stuff. I came across a post I wrote about mine and Greg's long distance relationship. Reading it put a smile on my face. It was like looking back on a journal entry and being refilled with the freshness of the emotion of that moment. So I just thought I'd link...
It's been a fun weekend. We've spent a lot of time with good friends eating yummy food, yummy desserts, and playing trivial pursuits. AND we got together with Dave and Joyce and their three dogs Mochi...
Garbanzo is a one-of-a-kind dog. I say that with love and a sigh. He fills my life with joy and energy. I wouldn't trade him for the world. He's been raised as a spoiled-(I say that lovingly, knowing...
