How is it almost the middle of June already? Didn’t we just have Christmas? I just put the Weber away for the winter…how can it be time to use it again every weekend? Sometimes I notice the speed at which life flies by and it astounds me. It’s so easy to get caught up in […]
A pre-flight wine flight did wonders for my acceptance of our delayed departure. The seat-back digital button pusher and screaming infant immediately behind me, however, were trying my patience. The storm was moving in quickly and, despite the crew’s urging to board swiftly in order to beat the weather, the usual passenger dawdling ensued. As […]
After nearly a month of doing a pseudo-vegan diet to fit into a snug [understatement] bridesmaid dress, I cut loose and set my tastebuds free today. A nearby vineyard was my target, and I had a sneaking suspicion I’d be making up for lost time. Before I knew it, I was taking down a foot-long […]
They say that preparation is the key to success. Today, I think that enjoying every possible moment of a fantastic day is the key to success. Neither rain nor humidity, gray skies or umbrellas can dampen the spirit of a bride about to marry her best friend. Both are ready, calm and eager to call […]
I think déjà vu is a strange thing. I felt it today while sitting in the church during the ceremony rehearsal. The angle at which I was sitting, the light that was coming in through the windows, the people and the sentiment all felt right — like we were meant to be there, and like […]
There are some things in life that are impossible to control. Others’ actions, the stock market, the weather, and on and on. We can make all the plans in the world, but the universe operates as it’s supposed to. After all, how does the quote go? “The best laid plans of mice and men often […]
I’m not sure if it was because I’d embarked on some crazy vegan diet shenanigans, whether it was the altitude, my early morning cocktail or if it was due to getting three hours of sleep last night. Whatever it was, it gave me buttercream dreams somewhere over New Mexico. I woke up after dozing for […]
I knew it was going to be a long day, but I didn’t think it’d be this long. I nearly forgot to blog, something that shocked the heck out of me. The day before a trip is always the longest — for me, anyway. Part of it is driven by my need to have things […]
It was faint, but I knew it in a heartbeat. It was the sound of patient, dutiful learning. Yesterday morning’s walk took me through a familiar neighborhood, past a house that I’ve passed time and time again, but there was a new sound coming from it. It was a sound I knew well, because I […]
I’d been looking forward to my mani/pedi all week. The toes needed some love, and I decided to go the gel route on my hands. I have no idea why. The last time I had gels, they were done by someone who — instead of soaking them off — would Dremel them off. While the […]
