In the last week or so, I’ve been shopping. If you’re a long-time reader, then you know that I’m no impulse buyer. I’ve been thinking about purchasing several of these items for a while. It just ended up that all of these purchases were made this week. First off, I got a second media cabinet… Read More Furniture, Clothing, Bags, a myAgenda, and some Stationary
As some of you may know, my HP laptop of 4 1/2 years finally gave up the ghost. It had been wheezing and dragging it’s figurative feet for months, but I kept refusing to let it go despite Chris’ protests. After awhile, my protests didn’t make any difference. It died. I mourned the loss but… Read More Hello, New Computer!
Good morning, everyone 🙂 It is absolutely pouring here! This Saturday, Chris and I got up early and went to the South Bend Farmer’s Market. It was so great! After a little confusion as to how to get there (thanks in part to Google Maps and yours truly), we found it, parked, and headed inside.… Read More Farmer’s Market and a Movie
I did what I said I would do today – I called the nurse recruiters at both area hospitals. One was out of the office, so I left a voicemail, and the other just directed me to their website. I went ahead and applied for 4 jobs. We’ll see what happens! Also, I told Chris… Read More Freshening Up
Isn’t Hobby Lobby the best? I went there this afternoon to get some of our paintings framed – two of them were from a street vendor in Paris and were purchased during last year’s trip, and another is a painting that Chris bought when he went to Russia several years ago. In less than 20… Read More Thank You Hobby Lobby 🙂
I feel antsy and unsettled and malcontent. How’s that for an opening sentence? A lot of factors are combining to make me feel this way, but I think that the last adjective I used in my first sentence pretty well sums it up – I’m not content. I think that, sometimes, not being happy with… Read More I Need Help. Furniture Help.
I decided to do a little shoe-shopping on Wednesday (my day off), and rather than just going by myself, asked Chris to come along and turn things into a shopping trip + movie night. We headed out to Patriot Place in Foxboro, MA and stopped at Off Broadway Shoes, where I snagged some pretty good… Read More Great Deals + Cute Steals at Crabtree & Evelyn
At the grocery check-out last night, I look over my shoulder and what do I see? An entire check-out conveyor nearly covered with Duncan Hines Moist Deluxe Chocolate Cake mix boxes! Good night! And there were even more in her shopping cart! I really, really, really wanted to hop on over there and ask this… Read More Spotted: Way Too Much Cake Mix!
Hello my lovely readers! I’ve been on a bit of a blogging hiatus, and let me say that I’ve enjoyed it. It’s nice to just sit back and read what others are writing without having to think of anything to post 🙂 Nothing exciting has been going on in the life of yours truly, but… Read More A Practically Perfect Shopping List 🙂
I love shopping for Chris – he’s easy to buy for, loves just about anything I pick out, and I get to buy clothes without worrying about how I’ll look in them 🙂 Usually shopping for Chris involves trying to find stuff that’s both appropriate for a 27 year old professor to teach in, but… Read More Shopping for the Guys
Hi Everyone! We’re back from Maine, and we had such a great, relaxing time. We stayed in a Marriott hotel using some of our Marriott points (sidenote: I think that Marriott has the best reward program, but that’s just me). Here’s some photos of our room… Kitchen/Dining Area Living Room Area Bedroom Some of you… Read More Trip Summary: Photos of Chris, Bear, and Maine
This week, it’s all about the dogs 🙂 I was looking on Etsy and found some funny, cute, and downright odd stuff for your four-legged furry friends. Exhibit A: Woof Woof and SEW On Dog Collars by Bice Designs. Now, Bear is more of a halter kind of dog, but if he wore collars, I’d… Read More Etsy Wednesday – It’s for the Dogs!
Hooray for Wednesdays! Wednesday means that the week is half over, and that puts me in a very happy mood 🙂 I’m also happy because I get to share some of the stuff that I’m loving on Etsy this week! Today, I was looking at all of the different pieces of jewelry, especially bracelets. I… Read More Etsy Wednesday!
Yes, I’m a nerd who get’s excited over new scrubs 🙂 But these aren’t just any scrubs – they’re my new Purdue scrubs! Purdue University is my alma mater, and I had ordered them over 2 months ago. I had just emailed the company to figure out what the heck was taking so long, and… Read More Purdue Scrubs
Thanks so much to everyone who posted suggestions to my question about stationary! I ended up finding a really cute site – Ink Obsession Designs! Erin (the owner/designer) has such great stuff there, and she is offering a really good deal for all of my lovely readers 🙂 Just enter the code BLOG10 for 10%… Read More Special Offer: Obsessed with Ink Obsession Designs!
I’m a bit sun burnt (all of that time on the beach is catching up with me), so I decided to take today to do a bit of laundry and hang out inside the resort. It helps that I can do all of this while looking out on the beautiful turquoise waters of the St.… Read More Heavenly Sugar
It started snowing in our area of Massachusetts around 1:30 on Friday afternoon, and it basically continued for the next 48 hours. It finally slowed up and eventually stopped all together yesterday late afternoon, but the forecast is calling for more snow! I think it’s safe to say that we will be having a White… Read More Snow Photos
I am finished with all of my Christmas shopping! At least, I think that I’m finished. I have a tendency to say that I’m done, only to wait till a few days before Christmas and decide that I need to get one last thing for someone. But this year, I really think that I’m finished.… Read More Christmas Shopping
This story takes place a little over a year after Chris and I were married, and it’s another example of why I sometimes refer to him as my very own “Absent-Minded Professor” 🙂 I had to work the day after Thanksgiving. I get a call at the office around about noon. It’s Chris. He sounds… Read More A Funny Black Friday Story
Well, this Friday night was a disappointment. I was supposed to go out for drinks with the girls after work, but upon arriving, I found out that my license was missing! I know that I had it on Wednesday afternoon, and I’m pretty sure that I had it on Thursday morning. So, sometime between Wednesday… Read More Lost License = New Wallet
