What a week! I have been counting down the minutes until Friday since Monday morning at 7:30am.
I’ll admit that having all of these guest bloggers imparting their wisdom on my blog has made me a bit lazy when it comes to the blogosphere.
I would love to provide you with a photo-update of the apartment garden, [...]

Dear 2010,
I realize that it’s a bit late to be welcoming you into this world. However, I’ve been so busy preparing for you that your first few days just slipped right past me.
Yes,  preparing for you.
Oh 2010…I know that New Year’s Resolutions are a silly tradition. Real Simple Magazine says that most people break them [...]

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 the year [...]

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 new [...]

‘ 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 quick Holiday Recap
On Christmas [...]

As 2009 comes to a close, I have list of things I’d like to do before I start another year.

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 great. I want [...]

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 [...]

Dear Santa,
Honestly, I think I’ve been really good this year. I only took one sick day and I got an A in my class. AND most importantly, I didn’t spend any money I didn’t have.
I’m not sure what you can do for me this year. My wish list is void of designer handbags and jewelry [...]

Holiday shopping definitely takes a toll on your wallet…especially when you’re a student.
For my sanity, I adopted a one for them, one for me gift-purchasing philosophy. It’s even more stressful on my wallet– but hey, you can’t put a price on your sanity.
This season I set out to find the sweetest deals and boy did [...]

Dear Life,
You’ve been lovely these past couple of weeks.
Eric’s Surprise 27th Birthday Bash went off without a hitch. The party was held at our favorite little restaurant, The Social Chameleon, and more then 40 of our friends and family joined the festivities. I’m not sure if I will ever be able to out-do the birthday [...]
