Wednesday Hopeful Flickr Five

Hello! I am hopeful that today we will salvage a bit of spring break. Cross your fingers. I’ll leave you with the Five, a bit early:

SFtrip: clothes plan
Eucera
exposed
my favorite time of day
Zigzag

With any luck, I’m taking the rest of the week off and will catch up with you all sometime on Monday in this space [...]

The joke was on me ….

I am an accomplished time waster. Which is why it took me five (count ‘em 1 2 3 4 5) years to frame these two cards and get them hung in the guest bedroom. Finally.
And yet, at the same time, I can be tenacious. Once I start something that I am interested in, I become [...]

Making lemonade

Surprise! We’re still here, and you know what that means. Yep, we got hit with snow. Again. Another ten inches, I’d estimate. If you like to look on the bright side, the good news is that our flight was cancelled on Thursday night, so we did not have to spend hours at O’Hare on Friday [...]

(Good) Friday Flickr Five

Greetings, from the land of winter storm warning. Yes, that’s right. We’re supposed to get 6-10 inches of snow today. Cross your fingers that we make it to warmer weather. I’ve got the reading material (wanted a new Martha Stewart Weddings, but it was not to be), and a chocolate bunny for the basket of [...]

I’m also badly craving this outfit that [...]

Easter and bunnies and virtual baking

My sister told me a while ago that Chicago has never had a March where it failed to reach 70. I say, get ready for the exception: March 2008. It snowed for a bit on Monday, and Tuesday was drizzly and cold. Makes you want to start walking south.
Easter arrives on Sunday regardless of what [...]

Addenda to the Beauty Hall of Fame

I am in a crabby mood. Chalk it up to the dentist (today, anyway). I was in for an onlay, which as far as I can tell means “We are going to drill your tooth for a while and then we will add stuff so that your new tooth feels absolutely nothing like the old [...]

Love the name; love the blog

Busy weekend. I am a house nut, constantly reading the real estate section, planning moves, or alternatively, plotting out renovations for our current home. (and by the way, we’ve been here for over 8 years, so I’m mostly talk) We are gearing up for a kitchen renovation, though, which meant that I had to go [...]
