BSI Winner!

Warning:  Oscar Spoiler below.   Yay!  Colin won!    I am such a happy girl.   There is really no wonderful way to transition from Colin to the BSI contest, is there?   I had SO many delicious and enticing recipes for the BSI contest!    Sara’s Slow Cooker Pulled Pork:   Erica’s Fast Sloppy [...]

Oscar Buzz

Happy Sunday! How is your weekend going so far? Mine is great – and I’m so excited to have tomorrow off, too, before I start my new job Tuesday! Yesterday was a jam packed day: I went to the gym and stupidly took 2 spin classes, and crashed hard during the 2nd.  Note to self: [...]

Oh, Henry!

I did it!   I am done with my job….adios, sayonara, au revoir, SEE YA.  Some tears were shed, especially when I said good-bye to one of the lawyers who is like my second dad, but thank goodness for Facebook. It at least makes keeping in touch so much easier. And check out one of [...]

Today is…

….my last day of work. I blogged about being unhappy in my job way back in June of 2009.  Actually, I’ve never really loved my job. I also made it my New Year’s Resolution (for 2010) to quit my job….but better late than never, right? But it was comfortable.  It was easy.  And I don’t [...]

What’s In a Name?

  Reading through your comments on my last post made me feel SO much better.    I’m glad to know I’m not alone in dealing with change, and also struggling to “put myself out there” when admitting my faults and struggles. I just keep telling myself that a week from today, I’ll be at my [...]

Let Me Be Honest Here

What I Wore Today….and BSI!

So today is going much, much better than yesterday.  It’s a new day!  I’m glad I’m not alone in feeling funky every once in awhile.  It happens, ya know?   Day 19 – 30 Day Blog Challenge  (Another picture of yourself) Obviously this is my favorite sweater right now.  And I love my leggings…what can [...]

Fighting the Funk

Do you ever have days when you’re in a funk, for no reason in particular? Sure, there were some little things that happened that kind of set me off… Like my doctor calling me today to tell me my pap smear results were “funky” – um….who wants to hear that word when you’re talking to [...]

What I Crave.

I am so behind in the 30 Day Blog Challenge….y’all forgive me, though – right??!!   Day 18 – 30 Day Blog Challenge (Something you crave a lot) Please refer to my celebrity crush post. Oh, wait….you meant food? Hmmm.  Well, I crave the most RANDOM things.  I find myself craving healthy things, like: (Source) I [...]

Unwinding in the Windy City

What a fun weekend in Chicago!    We left Friday late afternoon and enjoyed our drive through the endless fields of corn farmlands of Indiana.  Has anyone ever seen these new age Windmill things? This was my first time seeing them in person.  It’s a wind farm that went on for almost 20 miles along [...]
