Dear 2009, I don’t know if I will always remember you. Truth be told, you were relatively uneventful. (That is, except for the sweet handbags that accompanied you.) I suppose that if I ever become a famous blogger, I will remember you for being the year I started blogging. You might also be remembered as [...]

On December 15th, I posted my end of the year  to-do list. I am a bit humored as I report to you that the only thing on my list that I actually followed through with was looking fabulous. I exercised (we got a Wii and the Wii Fit and the Biggest Loser game!) and bought [...]

‘ Twas the day after Christmas; I was in need of a rest. Instead, I was busy and becoming quite stressed. Presents were scattered all over the floor. The puppy was barking at the front door. I tore through the closet to find something to wear. To see the Rockettes, whose appearance is rare. And now…a [...]

My jasmine is giving birth to one flower a day. Maid of Orleans jasmine only keeps its flowers for a day before they fall off. I am collecting them to make tea. In other news…one of my lavender plants is doing well, the other is quickly dying. My basil is back in the game and [...]

Read John Dufresne’s Love Warps the Mind a little Finish my grad school application (which requires bothering a few professors for letters of recommendation again!) Be energized! I’ve been working out lately and I’m feeling [...]

I’ve been wanting a digital SLR for quite some time now. It’s bound to enhance my scrapbooking endeavors as well as my blog. Not to mention, maybe there is a secret photographer inside of me that’s just dying to take some sweet artsy photographs.  Unfortunately, there are times when I get very caught up in [...]

I have to admit that I’ve been so busy shopping for others (er..and myself), that I’ve paid very little attention to what’s been going on in the world. This morning I decided I would do a little shopping catching up on current events. I skimmed through CNN, Reddit, NYtimes and here are some interesting and [...]

I know it’s quite a jump to go from considering a Master’s in Speech-Language Pathology to a Master’s in Hospitality Management, but there was a logical process by which I have [almost] decided that this is the course I want to take. (P.S. It was also quite a jump to go from a Bachelor’s in [...]
