Site Update

I thought it was time I moved away from the default WordPress theme.  I really liked the look of this new theme.  I think it was the header picture that made me love it.  So tranquil.
I also added on a new plug-in for my Amazon wishlist.  At the very top of the page is a […]

Car Shopping Update

Last week a took a closer look at the Rav4 and even gave it a test drive.  Overall, I was very impressed with it.  The interior is amazing!  I loved all the bells and whistles that it comes with - electronic A/C control with dual zones, mp3 player connections, tons of storage, reclining and sliding […]

Car Fever Update

I finally test drove an Escape Hybrid yesterday.  I was impressed with it, and a little disappointed.  The good points:

Much quieter drive than my current Escape.  They have really improved the soundproofing of the vehicle.
Really smooth transition from running on electric only, to gas engine, to gas and electric.
Great pickup.  It may be just 4 […]

Car Fever

I have new car fever!  The past month or so I’ve been browsing the automotive sites - checking out which vehicles are available, options, prices, etc.  I knew from the beginning I wanted a hybrid vehicle.  I was leaning towards a hybrid SUV, because I love having a SUV.  It seems like every week there […]

Carrot Breakdown

Most people know that I’m on a bit of a weight loss kick right now. Since January I’ve been working out regularly and trying to eat better. My goal is to look my absolute best for our wedding in June. More importantly, I need to look my absolute best in the bathing […]

Please Poke Me In The Eye

I need to go back to the optometrist’s office. I went this afternoon for my yearly checkup and had a surprise when the doctor walked in. I have only one word to describe him………dreamy! He’s Dr. Dreamy. Plus, he pinged……not a major Graham Norton ping, but a more subtle Ian McKellan […]

I was sent this great email today and decided it needed to be posted instead of just forwarded out. I just love it!
* Jesus loves you, and shares your hatred of homosexuals and Hillary Clinton.
* Saddam was a good guy when Reagan armed him, a bad guy when Bush’s daddy made war on him, […]

I (Heart) Jamie Raskin

From last week’s issue of the Gay and Lesbian Smart Brief:
“Senator, when you took your oath of office, you placed your hand on the Bible and swore to uphold the Constitution. You didn’t place your hand on the Constitution and swear to uphold the Bible.”
–Jamie Raskin, a constitutional law professor, testifying before a Maryland Senate […]

Blog 2.0

In case you had not noticed, my frequency of blogging had dropped recently. I just haven’t been as interested to blog random items of my life recently. I’ve really gotten into my “projects” - cooking, sewing, woodwork, etc. I’ve started to want a “space” where I could showcase my work. So […]

We’re Doing It!

It is official. Bobby and I are having a wedding ceremony! Some of you may know that Bobby actually proposed to me 3 years ago in Paris. We came back to the US with plans of having a wedding, but we could never agree. So after many arguments over what we […]
