From the Smokies to the Rockies

I took a quick trip to Denver this weekend to visit The Boy, who is now living the life in a great apartment with a garage, crown molding, daily trash service, and his double reclining couch. Must be nice! Denver seems to be a great city. Especially for those interested in good health (me!) – [...]

The Sunday before the Storm

Happy Sunday to you all. Today was my big day to get out of the house and get things done. The snow/ice on the roads yesterday morning kept me house-bound, although I did get a rebellious streak in the afternoon and snuck out to the gym for a workout (the roads were fine!). Tomorrow brings [...]

A beautiful fall weekend!

Exhibit A: New pyrex fall display, complete with pinecones and homegrown pumpkins: Exhibit B: Dogs sunning themselves in awesome 70 degree weather:   We had to say goodbye to Harmo today, sniff sniff. She is now making her way to a lovely 50 acre farm near Ithaca, New York. We’ll miss you all, Harmo! (Sheff [...]

Comments on the day

Massage Was pure bliss. Loved it. It’s located in a resort here, nestled among the smoky mountains. We should rent a cabin there. Oh wait, there’s this whole house in the mountains I live in. haha. Back to the massage – I left feeling so refreshed and relaxed! But I do feel like my morning [...]

A new cover

One of the difficulties perks of having such furry dogs is having a furry car. I swear, if I roll down my car windows to enjoy the fall weather, my car turns into a snow globe on wheels – except that it’s dog hair flying around instead of snow . My christmas 2009 wish list [...]

Quick exciting news to get out of the way: The US Open started today – so my TV will be tuned to ESPN2 for the next 2 weeks :) Sheldon, aka Jim Parsons, won an Emmy last night for best Actor in a Comedy Series. I was so overjoyed when he won. It was a [...]

A weekend of adventures in the sun!

Sunday evening is always a lovely time to get things organized for the week. I said goodbye to my weekend guests earlier this afternoon, after they successfully jumped out of an airplane with Skydive East Tennessee. They both had a great time and felt it was worth the time and $$. I joined them for [...]

Lazy Day Sunday

Had a fun time at game night yesterday. Improved my cranium skills, and discovered a new game with a twist. Plus, my zucchini chocolate chip cookies were a hit! This morning I was able to sleep in until almost 9 o’clock! (of course, that was after the dogs woke up me up at 7 for [...]

Fun Day

I got 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep last night (thanks dogs!) I spend the morning at garage sales and thrift stores and may have started an obsession for vintage pyrex Housework checked off the to-do list made me feel good Having time to read, craft, and blog is always a good day too! I made [...]

Elizabeth was at the beach?!

Had a great weekend with my friends. Sometimes it’s nice to be spontaneous and go to Charleston! We spent Saturday down in Charleston – covering most of downtown on foot, enjoying seafood at Hyman’s and the shops along King Street, as well as walking through Charleston’s farmers market (and wishing I could come more often!).
