I.O.U.S.A.

My anticipation and excitement about vacation has reached a fever pitch. I’m wrapping up stuff at work to get ready for my week off and can’t stop thinking about how awesome it’s going to be. We leave early tomorrow morning and will be gone until next Sunday evening so I won’t be posting at all [...]

And my Heaven is a nice house in the sky

It’s less than 48 hours until Mike and I take off on our Western adventure to Yellowstone, Grand Teton and Jackson Hole, Wyoming. I am beyond excited about the trip right now. I can hardly concentrate on anything else because of my overhwleming excitement. I started (and almost finished) packing last night and everything (somewhat [...]

Fall is fast approaching

“Like a summer rose I’m a victim of the fall / But am soon returning”-Ben Harper
I should have known it would be here sooner than expected. It always creeps up on you, sneaking in a cool day here and there until suddenly it’s practically snowing outside. While we’re not quite there yet, it’s become [...]

Vacation anticipation

There’s only a few days left until our vacation out West. I’ve been doing a lot of reading about Yellowstone and the surrounding area, so we can maximize our time there by having a game plan. So far the weather looks good, the forecast is sunny most days, with temperatures in the 60s and 70s [...]

To the woods

“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life. And see if I could not learn what it had to teach. And not, when I came to die, discover that I had no lived.”-Henry David Thoreau
Yesterday Mike and I headed out of the city to [...]

Weekend anticipation a day early

Although it’s only Thursday, it feels more like Friday to me. This is because we’re going on an adventure tomorrow at work up to Maine to eat lobster and enjoy some good old-fashioned New England summer fun. So while I have to come to work, I won’t really have to do much in the morning [...]

Dreams indicate need for a break

First of all, I want to wish everyone a happy sunny day! We haven’t had many of them lately, but today the sun is shining and it’s making me very happy. I hope we have some more great weather to finish out the summer so that everyone can get outside and enjoy it before it [...]

New music sounds great

Recently I’ve been listening to some new music that one of my roommates gave me. The singer’s name is Ray LaMontagne and he is awesome. It’s sort of like Joe Cocker mixed with Jack Johnson. I am loving the music so far and have been listening to it on repeat since she gave it to [...]

Summer time in New England

This weekend was another great one spent in New Hampshire with the family. It was the first time the four of us have been together at home without other visitors in quite a while and it was nice just to spend time together. We watched the Olympics, ate so much lobstah that we almost burst [...]

Pants, pants everywhere

Something incredible happened this week. I got a whole load of new pants. This is an amazing accomplishment vecause I can NEVER buy pants. No pants ever fit me, even with hemming, because them the pants lose their shape. This has been a lifelong struggle that makes me dread colder months. But the other day [...]
