One more week…

…until I leave for Spain!  My family is already there…and reading everything they are up to is absolutely killing me.  I know that sounds lame since I’ll be joining them in no time at all, but it’s hard to keep my jealousy in check as they make their way through the White Hill towns of Spain.  I’ll manage… In the meantime, I keep meaning to share my sister’s blog with you all.  She has been abroad since March (in case you forgot here’s her travel schedule) and she’s been able to blog fairly consistently as… Read more >

One and two

My two current obsessions are the following: (1) Peanut butter covered pretzels (2) Sesame sticks These are the kind of items I wind up buying from Whole Foods when I don’t go grocery shopping with Kyle.  I call them absolutely-necessary-but-really-totally-unnecessary purchases.  And I can (and do!) make entire meals revolve around them.  And there’s no end in sight. Exhibit A Exhibit B     Exhibit C, D, & E I’m not joking, I crave salads around the clock solely because of these salty, crunchy, and delicious sesame sticks.  Even thought the above green beasts all… Read more >

Luxxe Friday

This week has been truly perfect.  Much needed after last week’s sh!t storm of crazy.  Friday couldn’t have been a more amazing end to the week either. Kyle has Fridays off, so we both got to sleep in.  Brilliant start already.  Then we found out his waffle company made it to the finals – open to the public (on May 26th) if you want to attend.  Winner gets investors and money and a bunch of press, so this is HUGE.  While Kyle had a quick conference call I went on a short run (showered); and… Read more >

Easter reflections

Last year I don’t know what I was doing on Easter, but it was likely something indoors and snow avoidant.  This year I was hoping for a more cheery holiday. Not quite what I got.  Let me rephrase: not at ALL what I got. It took me a while to write this because I think I was (am) still in shock about the whole thing, even days after Easter Sunday.  What I do remember is feeling like I was having an out of body experience.  At several points I thought is this really happening?  Like,… Read more >
