In which I whine like a child myself.

Two days after Christmas, The Husband and I found ourselves out and about, shopping running important errands.
On Christmas day, I cooked. A lot. What does this mean? Leftovers. We have a ton of them. And since I’ve quit eating for good this time (she says after consuming her eleventh oatmeal cookie), it’s up to The [...]

(Insert clever title here because I can’t think of one.)

Is anyone else tired of seeing this guy’s mug on the home page of Flickr?

Tell me something. Are you a fan of the chin butt?
Me? Not so much. I realize a lot of girls dig it, but there’s only one man who I think can get away with the chin butt and that’s my [...]

The choices are endless.

These three glorious books found their way into my stocking on Christmas (with The Husband’s Santa’s help). Okay, it was actually a Barnes & Noble gift card that made it’s way into my stocking, but who’s counting?
What’s really great about these books is I found all but one on the bargain shelf. Tell me that’s [...]

It’s Christmas! (In case you live under a rock.)

If you look really closely, you can see me. And most of my apartment. Well… not most, but some. You can definitely see the long row of furniture that we had to push together to fit the enormous so-not-Charlie-Brown Christmas tree.
Someone was spoiled this year and by “someone” I mean me.

I’m totally going to make [...]

The weatherman totally lied.

Yeah, I know. Where are the Christmas posts, right? It’s Winter, not Summer. Enough of the ocean!
Well, I’m on vacation this week which means I’m just sitting around eating cookies doing absolutely nothing and when The Husband says there’s supposed to be a great sunset tonight according to the weatherman (she says with disdain), I [...]

Anyone for a swim?

J and I went to the beach last night. She wanted to jump off things and I said, “I’ll get my camera!”No, seriously. She’s been asking me to take pictures of her jumping off swings. I don’t know why. She’s fourteen. Is that normal?
I told her I would, but we keep getting sidetracked. So, when [...]

This is what I do.

If things had gone the way I had planned, you’d be reading about my fascinating (she said sarcastically) day instead of how I locked myself out of my apartment.
I was going to add lots of pictures and it would be entitled “A Day in the Life of Stephanie on Vacation.”
Catchy, huh?
I had pictures of The [...]

So, I decided to flock the rest of my furniture.

A month ago I convinced The Husband to get rid of our old, artificial Christmas tree and let’s get a real one this year!!
Ol’ Artificial was just that. Old. And artificial. And starting to fall apart. And I was just plain sick of storing the massive box in one of very few storage spaces in [...]
