That’s right, time is on my side.  I may miss out on the crackling fire, doing puzzles with my sisters and cousins, and tossing the football in… Read more >

Getting serenaded while eating an apple/cinnamon dessert on the late night – is there a better way to spend your Friday night?  I think not. But back to the AM.

ABC

Apple, Blog, Coffee that is.  As if my hospital-less days would start any other way… Hope you guys liked the froth tutorial.  This alphabetical brekkie got me through a tivo-ed Gossip Girl episode (followed by a dance party in my PJs to Lady GaGa) and many many blogs, but eventually I needed a course two. A [me] & goji bowl of deliciousness filled (my tummy’s) void.  Shortly after I digested, I threw on some clothes, got my hair did, beautified my face, and hit the road to get some errands done.  Runway ready?  FO SHO….
