M&M’s

This morning, I made my usual stop to the 7-11 after dropping Amelia off at the babysitters.
I usually buy The Washington Post, milk and cereal (single serve cup). While waiting in line I saw a new ‘flavor’, yes flavor, of M&M’s: Wild Cherry and decided to buy a package.
I arrive at work and throw the M&M’s [...]

Balls for Brains

I’m all over the place.
I don’t know what I want to do from one minute to the next.
Right now, I just want to plan something!
I called my Mom on my way home from work and told her about my idea for a family cruise for her 50th birthday. She was like “ok” and then when [...]

Easter Weekend (in Detail)

I’m writing from work with the intent to cut and paste this; I know I will feel too lazy to write everything out when I get home tonight, so why not take advantage of company time, right? Saturday 
Greg didn’t do too much cleaning on Friday so I started some chores on Saturday morning. We got most [...]

Spontaneity

I like to think of myself as a fun loving, spontaneous, girl. With that thought, I thought about planning a spontaneous trip, as a surprise, for Greg and for my Mom.
A little history of this random trip idea…
Since last November my Mom has been ‘hinting’ to Greg and me to have our honeymoon at Walt [...]

Happy Easter

Happy Easter
This marks Amelia’s second Easter. Her first Easter was spent with Greg’s family:

and this Easter we spent with my Mom and family:

Photos have been uploaded to Flickr (there are more, just waiting for Greg to upload his). I’ll write more later; so very exhausted from yesterdays events and the party we went to afterwards and [...]

Weekend Report w/ Good Stuff

Saturday started at 6:45am - when the alarm went off. Greg and I pretended Saturday was a work day otherwise we would have overslept. I didn’t have much to pack since I did most of everything the night before so we were out of the house and into the car by 8:20am.
The drive down to Mom’s was uneventful. [...]

Anniversary Getaway

The morning started off at 9:00, when I awoke. I slept in longer than I wanted to but at least I felt refreshed. Greg, on the other hand, was still dead asleep. Later I learned that he stayed up until 3am reading and playing computer games. When I woke up there was a text message [...]

Happy Valentine’s Day

Wishing all my readers (even the lurkers) a Happy Valentine’s Day.

Greg and I don’t have any plans to celebrate (I’ve never been much of a Valentine fan), but we did exchange cards this morning and tonight we’re going to drink some champagne (we never drank the bottle we bought to celebrate our anniversary with) as [...]

Birthday Weekend

I am still recovering from the busy, but oh so much fun, weekend!
Saturday, my day of birth (at 1:47am), was jam packed with everything. Greg and I left the house a little before 11am and didn’t return until a little after 10pm.
The drive down to Waldorf was uneventful; Amelia slept the entire way. Van beat us to [...]

Awesome Day!

This has been an amazing day; the best day (aside from Amelia’s First birthday) of 2008, thus far!!
Work was a little challenging but around 11:30am there was a delivery for me:

It’s a Edible Arrangement complete with chocolate dipping sauce (and serving dish in the shape of a strawberry)!! The strawberries (or ‘roses’ ;) were so freaking good! And [...]
