Just 10 minutes, please!

I have had a post, about my drive to Chicago, ready to write for three days now. And I can’t find a moment to do it. What gives? I will say that I’ve had time to eat plenty of Peeps this week. I guess you know where my priorities are!

Howdy!

Just got back from a weekend in lovely Gurnee. Renee and Dan were great hosts. Shopped, dined and watched a bit too much of TLC and those home-oriented shows. They’re addictive!

My first and last restaurant review

Our friends took us out to dinner on Friday night. To the newly revamped Cygnus 27, perched atop the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel. Chad then tasked me to share my impressions on my blog. OK…sure! I should start by saying that I’m bucking any “restaurant review” etiquette because I took […]

Tipping the scales

I can NOT believe how much of a blogging slacker I’ve been lately. To be honest, I’m trying to prioritize and sometimes jotting down my random, meaningless thoughts just can’t be a priority. Sadly enough. Because I rather relish my inane chatter on this website. I’m struggling to find balance. […]

Trapped by a three-year-old

The last week is a bit of a blur. It included preparations and hosting of Devin’s three-year birthday party. So, yeah, plenty to do. Yet I wasn’t sooo busy that I couldn’t post to my site (or his) now and again. The bigger problem was. Well. Him. I so hate […]

OK, people…where’s my brain?

I thought, with my previous post, that one of y’all would have returned it by now. Seriously. I need it. It’s bad enough that I took nearly a year to complete the N-600 form and mail out all of the stuff to the folks at Homeland Security. (What is that […]

Typical Scott and Lori

So we’ve been talking for weeks about our upcoming trip to Florida. It’s exciting, you see, since we haven’t taken a vacation in nearly two years. That’s a lifetime for us. And even though this vacation destination is relative-oriented, it will be so much fun for the kiddo. The talking […]

Celebrating 20

So my favorite magazine has a new look for their 20th anniversary. I’ve been a Cooking Light subscriber for 11 years now. And, much to my husband’s dismay, I haven’t thrown away a single issue. There’s just something very comforting in flipping through it and finding great recipes that are […]

Been there, done that

OK. I can now say that I’ve been to IKEA. I can also say that it’s highly unlikely that I’ll ever go back. I knew it was trouble when we drove into the parking lot and saw cars waiting impatiently for parking spots that didn’t exist. I was ready to […]
