Black Friday: Resistance is futile
November 28, 2009 | 4 Comments
Even though I was adamant about not going to the mall on Black Friday, Jenn whined enough about needing sun glasses that I was conned into going. The plan was to run in, grab sunglasses from Twenty One and run out. As we pulled up to the mall I said, “I’m not allowed to buy ... [...]Tags: family, shopping, what i wore
Post-Thanksgiving Pistons
November 28, 2009 | No Comments
Last night Aaron took me, along with his friends Scott and Nikki, to a Pistons game. Our seats were amazing! 10 rows up and I could still hear the player’s shoes squeak on the floor (most important part of the game, right?) We were close enough to the court to be able to order drinks ... [...]Tags: 101, happy bubble
The Adventures of Panda and Slayer
November 28, 2009 | 2 Comments
On Thanksgiving Aaron and I left the dogs at my house and headed north for dinner at my grandparents house. We were both a little nervous because just as Aaron was locking the back door I looked in the kitchen window to find Panda pulling a basket of chips off the counter. By the time ...

Here’s what I’m thankful for
My family because they make me laugh until I cry and/or almost pee my pants. Aaron because he is a positive force and makes me feel like a million, bajillion bucks all the time. Slayer because he dances when I need a laugh and snuggles when I need a hug. Jenn because she is my partner in living ... [...]Tags: good stuff

Panda and Pancakes
November 24, 2009 | 5 Comments
Aaron brought his dog, a 10-month-old husky named Panda, over to hang out with Slayer last night. Panda had been living with his ex in California, but she decided she wasn’t going to be able to care for her any more and shipped Panda to Michigan on Sunday. She was fairly uninterested in Slayer [...]Tags: foodz, happy bubble, slayer
Dear Universe, I would like a man…

Photo by Aaliyeh I was in a bad relationship for a long time. A year too long. The first couple months were wonderful. He was attentive, we did stuff together, we were like best friends. And then he stopped calling all the time, stopped making plans, and I stopped feeling like a priority in his life [...]Tags: life, power of thought
Red Lips + Stripes

I feel like a candy cane today! I just got conned into being video taped for a piece that’s airing soon. “It will just be your hands, you won’t be on TV,” they tell me, but I refuse. 10 minutes later they come back again, “No one else will do it, it will only take a ...

Taco Soup aka Lazy Chili
I made this taco soup recipe last night. It turned out similar to the chili I usually make, but was much simpler. Just open a few cans and spice packets and you’re all set. It will be great for when I want a home-cooked meal, but am feeling a little lazy. I updated the recipe to ... [...]Tags: foodz
Turn Ons: Note Cards and Budgeting
November 17, 2009 | 5 Comments
Here’s what I love – note cards. I keep a stack of multi-colored note cards next to my bed for quick notes and recording quotes, which get clipped to the string of lights next to my bed, so I can read them every day. They are also good for to-do lists. Every week I write down everything [...]Tags: good stuff, shopping
