Yesterday was one of the best Mondays I’ve had in a while – November 16 is a very special day around here. Last year, it involved a 5k for the Special Olympics. Perhaps you remember this goofy video? It just so happens that this date is the anniversary of when Bobby and I first decided […]
Tidbits and Treats
It’s a…Duck!
First of all, huge congrats to my Aunt Jenny and Uncle David — IT’S A BOY!! The name is still to be determined (they are having trouble deciding on one they both like best, haha) but I could not be happier to have a new boy cousin. I can’t wait to pay a visit to […]
Eggs-actly
This weekend was eggs-actly the right combination of productivity and fun. I was glad to read that so many bloggers enjoyed themselves in San Francisco!

The first toast goes to Rose for her endless […]
I’ve Got Lucky Taste Buds (Food on Fire)
Do you know how fantastic you all are? If you’re ever looking for some cheap, quality wine recommendations, just read the comments in my last post. I wrote them all down and plan to go on a scavenger hunt 🙂 Last night at Trader Joe’s I bought “Two Buck Chuck,” so I’m on my way! […]
“Even Then I Knew…I Was Waiting For My Wife.”
Pam and Jim never cease to make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside Don’t worry, no spoilers ahead if you haven’t seen the episode (that quote is featured in the TV teaser). Let’s just say it was a good one and it made the fact that Friday was October 16, 2009 – one year […]
