We close on our house in two days. OMG.
We have successfully (I say we, but really it’s Chris. Without his financial expertise and his detail oriented brain, this never would have happened. I’m more of a “ooh, that’s pretty. I want” kind of girl with a little buyers remorse later) saved more than my [...]

For quite awhile, I’ve casually read ZenHabits
Then, today, Chris sent me a link to a recent Zen blog, “I can’t get no satisfaction syndrome”, and how to beat it.
While I was reading, I realized that I’d heard these things several times and in several places, and I think that without actually knowing it, I was [...]

Ending the silence

Sorry for the small hiatus! I’ve been occupied with a horrible cold/illness. What I thought was a manageable sinus infection turned into a full blown head and chest affliction that laid me up for about 48 hours, and from which I’m still not completely recovered almost a week later. Ugh!
I’ve also been spending my [...]

Here’s another questions from my dearest cuz and blogger bud, Lily!
3. Last week, you posted about my rush to grow up and your determination not to. Now that you’re in your mid-twenties, happily married, and about to buy a house – what’s the best and worst thing so far about being a “dolt”?

Mos Maiorum is a latin phrase that means “a custom of the forefathers”, and pretty much ruled the way that the ancient Romans felt about how to rule things.

Tonight at family dinner with the in-laws (this is a weekly occurrence), I had the chance to partake in a few wonderfully southern dishes.
We had fried pickles for our appetizer, and then I had shrimp and grits for my dinner! Yum! I love some shrimp and grits.
But now my stomach is reeling from such [...]

Saw Twilight again on Thursday with some friends from work (holla’ y’all)! The book is DEFINITELY better. But, the movie is still good. So that makes 3 times, and I think I’m committed to one more time with one more friend, and that’s cool.
Yesterday was the strangest day at work ever. Rushes came at [...]

So, last night I received an early Christmas gift. SBUX was having a sale, and well, it was really great timing.

Yum!
