Autumn & Jerry

Can you imagine a society that is free of labels, particularly the staunchly divided political party labels? I try to, and in my imagination, it would be something beautiful. Potentially beautiful. The members of this society would have to use their brains, and judge information based on facts and content rather than who said it, [...]

reading: Howard’s End by E.M. Forster, textbooks of the Sociology, World Lit, & Biology variety, Coastal Living magazine, J’s blog, and this blog for some great running inspiration.
watching: The Marriage Ref, American Idol (yeah, yeah…I resisted for years but got hooked!), music videos (my constant love), The Office, Tosh.0, and a stream of Netflix.
listening to: [...]

I am currently obsessed with Solid Gold…and maybe a little in love. <3
I first found them on one of my fav MTV projects ever, You Rock the Deuce, and then last night on Subterranean, where I learned how to find & download this song – finally! iTunes, you disappoint. You should have all of their [...]

Tuesday night marks the almost-middle of my busy week, it’s when I get home early from class and make a beeline for my PJs and then camp out on the couch in front of the fire (especially nice after such a cold & wet day!). Jerry often has an awesome dinner waiting for me, and [...]

Who knew that a package of frozen dumpling could be so smart?
I didn’t buy them, if you’re wondering. But I did appreciate the good advice!
And it’s true, you should always say no to drugs. It’s so much better to be alert so you don’t miss awesome, uncommon little gems like this in everyday life! [...]

A week ago today, my honey & I celebrated Vegan Love Day. We made up our own holiday. We prepared a vegan feast of made-from-scratch split pea soup, fresh sourdough bread, and coffee-chocolate cupcakes. We lit candles and actually sat down to eat at the table. We cooked, we laughed, we took pictures, we talked, [...]

…we got our winter wonderland! Today was a true snow day, with hours & hours of fat, juicy snowflakes falling to the gound…and sticking! We got at least 3-4 inches accumulation, and it’s so pretty! I alternated playing in the snow with sitting by the fire, which made for an awesome day. Jerry took lots [...]

Just about this time last year (March 1st to be exact!) we had a wonderful snow day. I played outside all day, taking breaks only to alternate pairs of gloves when they got soaked through, tossing one pair in the dryer & tugging the others on. I made a tiny snowman, took beautiful pictures of [...]

My baby brother’s band, Rise with Honor,  is awesome, and they’re gaining steam while sharing their music all over the state of Georgia. Last month Jerry & I had the pleasure of doing a photoshoot with them that is now featured on their all new & updated website. I admire Cason for what he’s doing, [...]

This is an email I received from Planned Parenthood, and I think it makes some very valid points that are often overlooked when people think of what the organization stands for. Read on:
By now you’ve most likely heard all about it — the anti-choice group Focus on the Family is spending millions to run an [...]
