Yippy Skippy!

Yippy Skippy!

So,  it wasn’t that long ago that my brother and I were lamenting that the best shows of Nickelodeon stardom were past. Oh, the good old days…meaning the 90s, of course ; – ) Then, just as I surfed Google News one last time last night before bed (yes, I love my Google News and [...]

Let the Holiday Blur Begin..!

Let the Holiday Blur Begin..!

Personally, the holidays seem to fly by in a magic flash starting back at Halloween, but especially between Thanksgiving & Christmas! Before we know it, 2010 will be celebrating its finale and 2011 will be here. Every single year I say I’m going to slow down and try to enjoy every moment more than the [...]

Fall is Here!

Fall is Here!

Wow, got a little behind on my blogging here but that’s only thanks to staying busy in a good way. School is going well, work is still a lot of work, but I am thankful for having a good job, and Jerry & I have been on the move! We’ve just returned from enjoying a [...]

Happy 95th to My Sweet Granny!

On Monday, the 9th of August, my Granny turned 95. We celebrated a day early, with cake, other sweet treats, and lots of family. She is an amazing woman, and is as graceful and gentle as they come. I love you, Granny, and happy birthday. Many more to come! <3

Loss.

Loss.

While I see a lot of sadness at work, I am a very fortunate person otherwise to have lost a fairly small number of people that were truly close to my core. I lost my grandfather when I was still a bit too young to really understand what was going on. Losing my cousin, Kraig, [...]

Ringing in 2010

Ringing in 2010

Poor Jerry was out of town for a short & unplanned trip, so we couldn’t bring in the new year together. Still, I managed to have fun & ring it in with style! My brother & I went Downtown for dinner at a local pizzeria (not good.), coffee & dessert at Dolce Vita (awesome!!!), champagne [...]

Goodbye, 2009.

Goodbye, 2009.

As always, it’s hard to believe another whole year has come & gone. Everyone seems to say that with each new year, but it’s true! Are there people out there who anxiously await the end of a year, and feel as if every square on the calendar was long & drawn out? I suppose there [...]

OMG! Yay!

OMG! Yay!

So we all know Diablo Cody, the cool chick who gave us Juno, and any lady my age might remember the Sweet Valley High series of awesome tween books. I found out today that these two forces are merging, and I have a new movie to look forward to! Wheeeee

Anniversary Trip, Part 2

Anniversary Trip, Part 2

We got up early and braved the rain to grab some coffee & do some shopping in Savannah before making our way to our second destination, the lovely city of Charleston. The weather was far from perfect, but in truth it didn’t slow us down much at all. With Starbucks in hand (piping hot Awake [...]
