I stopped making New Year's resolutions a few years ago, and instead began focusing on a word or phrase that would carry me through the year. In 2021, it was a toast "To Your Health." I thought it meant I'd be on the Peloton every day, watching my diet, and losing a few pounds. As it turns out, ...
A Note on Cheese Week
There was a meme floating around the internet a few years ago with two stick figures side by side. One was smiling, wearing a Santa hat, and above, it read "December 1st-25th: Festive!" The other was slightly plump and holding a block of cheese with a miserable look on his face. Above, it said ...
Elevated Envelopes
I'm big on paper products. I don't mean that I hoard toilet tissue, but I take my stationery very seriously. Whether it's working with Lisa at Missive Press to make sure my personal note cards are always stocked and accurate, or choosing just the right thank you notes, I think that there are a few ...
Steam Heat
I. Hate. Ironing.
I don't know why. I have fond smells of standing in the basement laundry room at my grandparents' house, chatting with my grandma as she went through all the laundry for the week. My grandpa was one of those older gentlemen that wore a collared shirt every single day. No ...
Back to Basics
I tend to be on the organized end of things in life. I'm poked fun at at work often for my binder (that completely encompasses a year's worth of business at a time). I schedule, plan, and budget for our vacations (down to where we're eating on what night and what I need to pack) on a spreadsheet, ...
Derby, 96 Days Out
HOW?!!?! I repeat.... HOW?! did I miss my 100 days from Derby post???
Could it be possible that it's been dang near 2 years since we were able to really celebrate the greatest two minutes in sports? Perhaps we're all in a Covid haze, and completely unaware of what day of the week it is (or ...
Resolve
I had to laugh at myself that when we walked into 2020, I said that my word for the year would be Contentment. I was happy with my house, my job, my car... And somehow, throughout the year, all of that changed. Well, my car didn't, but B's car did. I was content with all I had. Our home was ...
Coronado Update
Well, friends, we've made it through another month here at the new house, and in that month, SO MUCH has happened in the world of renovation.
We'll start with the easy: The tree came out on the 16th and 17th of November, and I can't thank Louisville Tree and Landscape enough for making what ...
The Thanksgiving Table (… or lack thereof)
Oh, sweet readers. You've heard me say that aside from Derby, Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. I love full days of friends stopping by with bottles of wine, never-ending rounds of Trivial Pursuit, questions of "want another piece of pie?" It's been- especially the last few years that the man ...
