Sunday Moments.

27 November 2011

I love Sundays. I think Sundays tend to be more relaxed because the next day starts the week. Today was just that – relaxed and simple and filled with moments like these… Waking up and putting on Christmas music to wake the Husb. Going out to breakfast and enjoying good conversation. Buying more yarn to [...]

The Tube.

26 November 2011

I don’t watch TV. In fact, the Husb and I don’t even own a TV. Haven’t owned a TV since, well, we got married. See, it started out with a casual challenge. And an important fact about me is that I hate slash love challenges. It’s my competitive side. I hate losing. And even more I [...]

Champagne Wishes.

25 November 2011

I’m not an extravagant person. In fact, I’m borderline frumpy. Ask around. But sometimes I dream real big. Dream real extravagantly. I dream of family get togethers involving mothers and fathers and sisters and brothers and nieces and nephews. All together. Under one roof. Being family. I dream of whispers in my ears of sweet [...]

Giving Thanks.

24 November 2011

It’s been a crazy sort of a year for me. I think in my day to day joy I forget about that. Living in Italy, moving from Italy, staying in Indiana, vacations to California and to North Carolina, figuring out where we want to move, and then deciding on a location in less than 2 [...]

Pay Attention.

23 November 2011

I’m notorious for listening to music but never really listening to it. As in, I can have all of the lyrics memorized, singing along with it for years completely unaware of what it’s actually saying. So one day, somehow, I end up actually listening and realize, “Shit. This song is good!” Examples: John Mayer – Stop [...]

Ten on Tuesday.

22 November 2011

Yeah, I’m taking the easy way out. I’m tired. Buzzed. And my eyes hurt. —– 1. What are you doing for Thanksgiving this year? Just lounging around the apartment with the Husb & chittens. We’ll be doing a turkey & foods, but mostly we’ll be watching Christmas movies 2. What are you most thankful for [...]

Internet Friends Don’t Exist.

21 November 2011

Some beautiful ladies came up with the idea to do a small blog swap between friends with the theme “Internet Friendships.” Is it too much to say that it was a brilliant idea? I didn’t think so. I am lucky enough to host Katie from Katie Blogs - a woman who has inspired me for the [...]

Yarn Dreams

20 November 2011

So, remember when I learned how to crochet? Well, today I decided I wanted to be a crocheter AND a knitter. So I learned to knit. We’re in the early stages here where I feel so incredibly awkward trying to maneuver these 2 long needles that I’m sure I’m missing some integral fine motor skills. [...]

The Reluctant Snow Bunny.

19 November 2011

So…I grew up in California. The hot parts. The first time I saw snow in person and actually played in it, I was 8 years old. Between 8 years old and 2 months ago, I played in snow, maybe, a dozen times. If I’m being generous. So this move to Bozeman, Montana – a place where [...]

The Lunatic.

18 November 2011

It’s taken me a long time to embrace my inner Lunatic. The one that cries at commercials. The one that gets irrationally excited about a Britney Spears song coming on while she’s out dancing. The one that gets her feelings hurt over the tone of his voice. The one that talks to her cats in high-pitched [...]
