Rock Stars

I’m so proud of my baby bro’s band – they were recently reviewed by Highwire Daze, and the praise is highly deserved by this group of dedicated & talented boys. Yay, Rise with Honor!

Pressure Cookers & Julia Child

A few days ago Jerry sent me a link to an article in the New York Times that raved about the wonders of pressure cookers. I read the sample recipe, and had to admit that it did sound like a valuable kitchen gadget. We looked at a few reviews online, and last night we dashed [...]

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

Aeropress Love

Aeropress Love

Jerry found out about this nifty little gadget a few months ago thanks to Wired magazine, and it was perfect for us. Not only was it affordable, garnering excellent reviews from tough critics, and appealing to my coffee connoisseur hubby, but our beloved french press had been broken by someone sweet who shall remain nameless.

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 [...]

Reliving the Moment

So, I got an email today from The 11th Hour, our wonderful local paper, asking for bridal tips & wedding/engagement announcement submissions. Since we never got around to submitting our wedding announcement after our big day in 2006, I thought I’d send ours in now just for fun. Who knows if they’ll print it, but [...]

The Killers Live = AMAZING!

My little bro & I saw The Killers last night in Atlanta, and it was mindblowing! I knew they’d rock, but I had no idea they would be as AMAZING as they were! Everything was top notch, from the sound quality to the song selection to the lightshow. The band was so sincere – they [...]

Hey, Macon: Time to Vote Again!

This time the election centers around something we all know & love – FOOD! Each year, the Macon Food & Culture Magazine hosts Foodies – a wonderful opportunity to give love to your favorite restuarant, bartender, chef, and more! I’ve already submitted my vote, and may I recommend Edgar’s, Good to Go, Taki, & Tic [...]

There’s Nothing Better Than a Smiling Sky & a Happy Birthday

Check out this photo from National Geographic – I can think of few things more wonderful than living under a sky that smiles. We actually noticed the alignment Sunday night when driving home from TN after Thanksgiving – nothing like standstill traffic to allow time for stargazing. I wondered aloud if the brighter star was [...]
