Hello 2009!! Thank you all for the sweet comments on my last post. It makes me so happy that you enjoy reading my blog as much as I enjoy writing it! I can’t wait to share the next year with you. Our New Year’s Eve was relaxed and relatively uneventful at home. When I was […]

Let’s Not Remember the Alamo…
I’m a bit depressed right now 🙁 My Wildcats just lost in overtime at the Alamo Bowl. I’m a little (actually, a lot) emotional right now. I know it sounds silly to be upset over a football game, but I think it’s more than that. It’s really because the end of this game really solidified […]
Quick Turnaround
We’ve had quite the turnaround in terms of weather in the past few days. It went from freak snowfall to short sleeve golfing weather in a span of two days! We headed to the course early this morning and enjoyed 18 holes in nothing but sunshine. Much better. Before I left, I made myself a […]
Wanted: Fruits and Veggies
Although the weather certainly didn’t warm up, the snow disappeared by mid-morning. I said goodbye to White Christmas and now I’m ready to bring on the New Year festivities 😉 Actually, I’m just ready to get all of these candies and chocolates out of my life! I know we’re all saying “tis the season,” but […]

It was a lot of fun to read about everyone’s Christmas celebrations. Ours started early yesterday morning, when my brother forced […]
Chocolate Covered Spaghetti
No, not really! But I’m beginning to think it may as well have been! Is it just me, or does sugar tolerance kick into overdrive this time of year? Every night I think, “There’s no way I could eat another piece of candy or chocolate tomorrow,” only to repeat the cycle the next day! I […]
BluBurgers + Baking Blossoms
Last night’s dinner was a burger lover’s dream. When I say that, I’m talking about ANY kind burger you can imagine (well, 7 to be exact). The restaurant my mom was “raving” about is called BluBurger Grille, and the ambiance matches the name. Upon confronting the menu, you are faced with 7 delicious options: Kobe? […]
Chugga Chugga
I could not stop chugging water today. At one point I literally had to pull over to a gas station and buy a bottle of water because the thought of waiting until I got home made my mouth feel like paste. Nice, right? I’m not sure what it was – usually it’s quite the opposite […]
