  • I’m playing catch-up!

    I have been so swamped with things lately and blogging has taken a backseat. I have managed to update my P365 photos, so be sure and check those out! I promise I am still reading everyone’s blogs….just not keeping up with my own.

  • Tulips.

    There’s something about the delicate shape and balance of a tulip. I cut these from my birthday arrangement and set them on the mantle. Just pretty.

  • Early birthday surprise.

    My friend Traci showed up on my doorstep with these this afternoon. She and I share the same birthday, too! This totally made my day!

  • Organizing abound.

    After reading my latest issue of one of my FAVORITE magazines, Domino, I got the wild idea to rearrange and reorganize one of the cabinet + countertop areas in the kitchen. Boy, do I love it!

    I just finished reading a fabulous and funny little novel that was a really refreshing read. I’m usually not into reading fiction all that much but thought the cover of this book looked interesting when I saw it being reshelved at the library a while back. Anyway, turns out the author really writes in a…

  • I hate reruns.

    Tonight’s Grey’s Anatomy was a rerun. Where in the heck did that come from? It was SO out of nowhere. I was expecting a NEW episode this week and have been sorely disappointed. What is the point in reruns anyway? If you didn’t have the sense to DVR the episode or if you missed it…

  • Landscaping. Or, lack thereof.

    ,

    I am sitting here in my kitchen looking our our back window and am noticing that our bushes are in desperate need of a trim. I somehow fear that David nor I will actually get to it till Spring. Sad, right? Landscaping is just not a priority for me. I have no idea why. I'd…
