Autumn & Jerry

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Today is my mother’s birthday – I hope it’s a wonderful, happy day because she deserves it! We celebrated last night with a lovely dinner of her choice, followed by good conversation & cheer over coffee at ABC. Great night with great people. I love you, Mom – thanks for always being my #1 fan! [...]

Today was a very productive day – after waking early for a dental appointment, I resisted returning straight to bed and broke out the books instead. I made some major study progress with biology, and feel better about my upcoming test. I have a sociology test on the same day, but at least there is [...]

Okay, so I have been a bad girl & neglected my blog for quite some time. But today I’m playing catch up! This lovely day took place on February 23rd. I had one night off & I used it quite wisely – I woke up a little earlier in the afternoon than usual & whisked [...]

and I spent it at work! I suppose the 5th floor of a large hospital is a much safer place to be than in my own house, but there is something quite disconcerting about being responsible for yourself plus several injured & ill people during inclement weather. We started the shift by moving all the [...]

AKA every day for us Even though we really don’t get into this cheesy holiday, ours still turned out to be a great day together! After sleeping in, we ventured to the ATL for some shopping & delicious dining out. The shopping was successful, from an awesome 35mm Canon we snatched up at Showcase to [...]
