Rambling

  • Giddy

    I should be so embarrassed to write this. Last night, after waiting almost 20 years, I finally got to see New Kids on the Block in concert. And it was everything I had ever hoped and dreamed it would be! They played all the classics like Hangin’ Tough, The Right Stuff, and my personal favorite,…

  • It’s beginning to feel a lot like…

    The weather outside is chilly and the leaves are almost done falling. I woke up this morning to let Bruno out and for some reason I got the urge to go dare I say it – Christmas shopping! The music hasn’t even started playing and yet I’m feeling a rare burst of holiday spirit. I…

  • Behind

    I’ve got lots to write and pictures to add, but I just haven’t been in the mood to sit and compose! As the days get shorter, so is my energy level at night. It makes me want to go to bed so early! Hopefully sometime this week I’ll feel like getting caught up on here.…

  • Home Sweet Home!

    Flying home from a vacation never felt so good! As soon as our plane touched down from today’s bumpy, windy landing in KC, I wanted to burst out with tears of joy! We were home safely and would be seeing Skyler very soon. We are super exhausted from what we wish would’ve been an amazing…

    Election coverage is getting old. The weather is definitely Fall. My two-year performance review is coming up. Our vacation is 2 weeks away. Our hotel is brand new, beautiful, and now officially open. Ronnie is getting a Harley this weekend. Skyler is EVERYWHERE. She is getting her molars. There is drool EVERYWHERE. This Saturday is…

  • On the horizon…

    Our vacation is finally within my sights! It’s close enough that I’ve got a meeting with my boss on Friday to go over the plan for while I’m gone. It’s close enough that I informed Skyler’s daycare about her schedule while we’re gone. And it’s close enough that we’re actually in the month of our…

    So tired….must…blog…….LATER!

  • I can’t help but share this…

    My good friend reminded me of this video recently – it’s of her baby boy Benjamin, while he was 4 months old (he’s almost 13 months now), and it is the funniest video of her feeding him in his highchair while he’s falling asleep! I remember watching this back in the day and cracking up,…

  • Vegetables really can taste good!

    While Skyler seems to have zero opposition to vegetables, she does not take after her mother! In my attempts to eat healthier, I force a serving or two of vegetables down my throat on a daily basis, and I feel good about that (despite that the recommended daily veggie consumption is something like 47 servings,…

  • Lettuce wraps, spatulas, and canoes

    1) Jimmy John’s lettuce wraps are my new favorite thing! Jimmy’s always has good sandwiches, but as I’m [still] attempting to get back down to my desired weight, I try to do the low-carb thing, so sandwiches are usually not an option. I know lettuce wraps are nothing new as an alternative to bread or…
