It’s Saturday, which means the holiday weekend is already half over.
Some notes about the last two days:
The new table was a splendid success. All 8 of us easily fit together and though it seemed like it only took us 15 minutes to clear our plates, it was worth it.
Thanksgiving dinner is MUCH easier when two [...]

As predicted, I saw Twilight on Saturday. I also forced my husband to go see it with me. This was probably mistake number one. Never take someone to a movie if all they do is complain about how bad it is BEFORE they even see the movie! It doesn’t matter if it is the best. [...]

For the last three years, I have hosted Thanksgiving. My parents come in from Tennessee/Kentucky/wherever they currently live and my grandparents, aunt, and cousin make the 45 min. drive north to my house. One year my in-laws and nephew came for turkey day too. Needless to say, we have a full house on Thanksgiving.
I love hosting. Up [...]

I’ve been reading a few posts from bloggers that went to the midnight showing of Twilight last night, and I have to admit, they have me jonesing to get out and see this flick NOW. I love, love, love the book and had planned on going to a late show tonight, but I’d like to [...]

Remember when I told you guys about our little summer project? The one where we tore down our old deck and rebuilt a new one…all by ourselves?
Well it took another month, but we finally had a nice weekend, oh about a month ago, where we had a chance to stain it.
Couple of notes about staining decks.
1. [...]

I’m not really a gadget kind of person. I like to keep up on the latest technology (actually, sometimes it’s my job to keep up on the latest technology) but I rarely incorporate it into my daily life. I have a flat screen HDTV, but I only subscribe to basic cable (which is completely idiotic, [...]

I haven’t blogged in a week. This isn’t usually my style, but lately, my mind has been occupied with all things work related. I know I always say how busy I am with work, but honestly, I didn’t expect “busy” to turn into “holy shit I don’t even have time to eat/pee/breathe until Chrstimas” kind [...]

I woke up before 6 a.m. to head to the polls and cast my vote. I had only voted for President of the United States twice before, and both times, I voted for someone that did not win the election. I was beginning to wonder if a vote from me was the kiss of death for a presidential [...]

Hey remember that trip I took to Europe at the end of September that now seems like eons ago? And remember how I was kind-of-sort-of writing about it? Yeah, me neither.
But, my archives tell me that I did. And there are pictures I’ve been meaning to share with you. And since I have nothing else [...]

Is it sad that one of the most exciting parts of my weekend involved the discovery of Sierra Mist Free Cranberry Splash?
It is? Ok then let’s forget I ever said anything.
