My husband and I celebrated 5 years of marriage in October! And I found myself reflecting on this today as I was thinking about Valentine's Day ( Read more... )

This was just about the best weekend ever. Friday was Heart of Gold Night where we celebrated the births of 3 good friends. Prior to that, I hung out with one my dearest girlfriends wherein she presented me with custom-made blank greeting cards that have veggies on their fronts! (I have sought far and wide for cool veggie cards and NOW they are ( Read more... )

Jim Henson's Fantastic World rolls out of the EMP - this was the last weekend. The exhibit was awesome - a Smithsonian affair actually. And the talks and movies were wonderful. I'm pleased though that a portion of my schedule will now be cleared up. Events nearly every week or every other week for months can take there toll ( Read more... )

In a nutshell: I feel lucky!

Saturday started bright and early since we knew a plumber was coming to install the sink from the last post. We ate breakfast as he installed a the sink. Then we headed off to a gathering hosted by ursuscelticus and his fiance who vanderbolt and I had not yet met. What a great gathering of folks. We were the first to arrive and were greeted ( Read more... )

So we had planned to spend a little bit over a week to take a trip to England this spring. That would exhaust all of our my vacation time and a good chunk of vanderbolt's...but we've really been thinking that we need a trip together for awhile and our next long distance trip was totally pegged to be to England where Matt studied in undergrad for a semester ( Read more... )
