Things I Love!

Hofstra University's Best Couple

As you may or may not know, The Captain and I both went to Hofstra University. This is where we met and fell in love! (Go ahead and sigh…it’s ok!) This year marks Hofstra’s 75th anniversary, and to honor the occasion they are holding a Hofstra’s Best Couple Contest where they asked couples who [...]

Taking Down The Bar

Well my dear readers this past weekend I had a traumatic experience. It was an experience that made me realize that I really am an adult, and it also made me realize the sacrifices The Captain and I are already making for our little Pooh Bear. What happened you ask? Well my friends, [...]

I Used To Be Cool

 

  

Recently, Captain Awesome has found himself reminding me how I “used to be cool”. The comment comes up if I want to stay in, or if I am even more picky than usual about what I eat. I must admit it hurts to hear…but the truth hurts right?  

Let’s face it, we all used [...]

My Computer's Fatal Heart Attack

We all believe that our computers can handle anything, and that they will faithfully hold our information till the end of time, but unfortunately that wasn’t the case for me. Last week my dear computer had a fatal heart attack, and no resuscitation attempts could save it. Yes my dear readers last week [...]

Do We Ever Have Enough Room?

I am only at the 23 week mark, and as I look around our 2 bedroom townhouse thinking about where all the baby stuff is going to go I begin to panic. How will it all fit? Where will it all go? But then I think of the people who raise families in little apartment [...]

The Bad Wife

Since I have been pregnant it seems that I have been neglecting my wifely duties. It started in the beginning when most foods other than cereal and fruit grossed me out, therefore cooking was a huge challenge. Then farther into the first trimester I was just so exhausted that by the end of [...]

Summer Months = Spending $$

I have said it before and I will say it again…I think that I truly belong in South Carolina. The hot weather, the mostly mild winters, and the slower pace just sounds wonderful to me. But as this summer continues on strong I am reminded that I’m not sure that I could financially [...]

Busy Busy Bee: Part 2

Now onto part two of my story…you can catch up by reading part one here!

Friday I finally made it to Philly (where my sister lives) to spend the day with her and my mom. I felt bad leaving a sick husband and sick dog behind, but I was looking forward to a [...]

Busy Busy Bee: Part 1

The story I had to tell was a little long so I broke it down into 2 parts! Here is Part 1!

Well dear readers I think I am back to my regular routine. (I think being the key phrase) This past week has been a VERY busy one, [...]

Auto Draft

I can not believe that it is July already! The summer months go by way too fast for my liking. Especially since I’d be happy with this type of weather throughout most of the year. (well maybe not this hot)  But that’s not the case for us North Easterners…so we have to take [...]
