A Weekend in the Queen City

Check out what I scored from Saturday’s garage sales in Charlotte, NC! Kathy and I had a lot of fun, driving all over Charlotte and scoring some great finds. For me, this included: some dirt cheap corning ware (75 cents!) from an estate sale “Passionate Vegetarian” cookbook, by Crescent Dragonwagon. Sure to have some great [...]

Happy Birthday To Me!

7pm, I am back safe and sound at the farm. Picked up the dogs, who smell freshly perfumed, from the boarding kennel. They were very happy to be back home! The drive this time around was a full hour shorter, thanks to light Sunday traffic through Atlanta. Of course the weather continued to be beautiful [...]

It’s Mehl-ting!

Today has been a pretty awesome day. First of all… the heat wave has arrived!! Never before has mid-30 degree weather excited me so much. The sun was out in full force, along with beautiful blue skies, which helped melt a lot of the snow around the farm today. Hooray! The driveway is still pretty [...]

TGIF!

Greetings y’all! Sorry I’ve been so bad about posting this week. It’s been a busy week – Sheff and I have both been sick, and going to be real early. I wish I could blog at work, when I’m sitting there with nothing to do! So glad the weekend is here! I had planned to [...]

Weekend in Nashville!

Sheff and I took a road trip to Nashville for the weekend, celebrating The Boy and I’s 6 month anniversary. It was absolutely beautiful weather all weekend – mid 70s in mid November!?!?! I remember this time last year it was already down into the 30s and 40s. We were so lucky! I was really [...]

Perfect Weather Weekend

What happens when 5 dietitian friends get together for the weekend? “Eat bowls of leaves” was The Boy’s idea. This, of course, is related to the fact that we enjoy our leafy green vegetables, and prefer them in salads to the nutritional-weakling that is iceberg lettuce. But no, salads were not the mainstay of this [...]

Friday the 30th

Today is a day to celebrate: It’s Friday! My best friend from college is coming to visit this weekend! 6 month anniversary with The Boy :) 4 month anniversary of leaving Nashville :( and coming to the farm :) 6 weeks (and 3 paychecks) at my job! Beautiful fall weather! And so… a celebratory breakfast [...]

Being a canine mom

Sunday in the smokies…. it’s a surprisingly beautiful day out. After a week of gray drizzlyness, we finally got sunshine today. My parents left for Texas at 4am. They’re somewhere in Louisiana as we speak, with Annie (crazy black mini lab) and Neuman (chubby ninja beagle)… leaving me with Sheff! He’s doing ok without his [...]

75 and sunny

A lovely Sunday afternoon here. We just got back from a fun day of shopping (mostly). Started at Hardee’s to get my mom a country ham biscuit (she’s become obsessed with them!)…. and I might have had a biscuit myself. I wasn’t too excited to see the woman in the kitchen open the biscuit with [...]

Today’s Yays

Excited for a few things today: Moe’s is coming to Nashville! I saw the building and sign out in Belle Meade earlier this week, and definitely shouted for joy in my car as I drove past. Hooray for cheap tofu tacos!! The Obamas finally announced that they will be growing an organic garden in the [...]
