Today is National Hugging Day and National Granola Bar Day and National Clam Chowder Day. I got up early to work, then headed out to my photo class. While on the way, Chloe texted me to come get her, so after class, I went to Renfroe and then to Kroger. At home, I worked some
photo class 2 homework: week 1
Almost a year has passed since I took my first photography class at Showcase. Finally, I have the chance to take Photo 2. With our travels and other commitments, I was not able to get back in until now, which makes me sad. And so, even though the schedule is complicated, I jumped at the

Today is National Cheese Loverโs Day and National Buttercrunch Day and Penguin Awareness Day. I woke in the morning with a leg that would not take any weight. Probably walked too much in NYC and then twisted it funny on the plane home. Then Chloe chose to stay home. So we had a day at
Project45
Earlier this week, I turned 45. Another year has gone by. And I still feel as though I didn’t move ahead enough on my goals. However, I have moved ahead… What I have managed to accomplish in the past two years makes me proud. I still have a ways to go, for sure, but I

Today is Popcorn Day. Up early to work and take care of chores. As I headed to the Red Cross, Chloe texted from school. Once I was done at the Red Cross, I headed back to Decatur to pick her up and go to the library and the store. I worked during the afternoon. We
book report: 19 jan 2016
As I’ve been traveling most of the past week, I’ve mostly been reading the Outlander series on my phone. This week I borrowed The Heart Goes Last: A Novel by Margaret Atwood. . I will continue to read these this week: The Diamond Caper by Peter Mayle The Vegiterranean Diet: The New and Improved Mediterranean

Today is Benjamin Franklinโs Birthday and Kid Inventorsโ Day and Hot-Buttered Rum Day. Camille and I had a slow start, relaxing and getting some work done. I ran out to the corner to pick up some bagels for breakfast. The VRBO person came around noon, and we headed out to Coney Island for some fresh
celebrations: week 4 (18-24 jan 2016)
We didn’t celebrate any week 3 holidays… too crazy with getting ready for our trip to NYC! Coming up this week: 18: Thesaurus Day and Peking Duck Day and Martin Luther King Day What’s another word for Thesaurus? – Steven Wright 19: Popcorn Day The laziest man I ever met put popcorn in his pancakes

Today is Benjamin Franklinโs Birthday and Kid Inventorsโ Day and Hot-Buttered Rum Day. Camille and I headed out to Grand Central; we bought bagels for breakfast there. We ended up on the wrong train and had to get off in White Plains and take the next local train going south. We wandered around Bronxville to
nyc: snow
In the week leading up to our trip, the weather forecast was all over the place. Sunny, rainy, snowy, windy. We had no idea what we would end up with, so we brought umbrellas, long underwear, and t-shirts. And we used it all. When we woke this morning, snow was in the forecast, so we

Today is National Nothing Day and International Hot & Spicy Food Day and Appreciate a Dragon Day and National Fig Newton Day. Slept in until almost 8am, then worked on photos, etc., from the previous day. After Camille was up and ready, we headed out. She grabbed a bagel at the bodega, and we took
nyc: hamilton
The play of the year. Or the play of decade. Depends on who you ask, I suppose. But Camille has been listening to and drooling over Hamilton for months. And then we planned a trip to New York. The city. The home of Broadway. And Hamilton. Play sold out for months and months. Our friend

Today is National Strawberry Ice Cream Day. Camille made it to the final round of the Governor’s Honor Program! We went to Hamilton! Up early to catch the train. That then did not go anywhere due to “signaling issues” at Atlantic. So we took other (slow) trains. And were 5 minutes late for the tour,
photo friday: an evening in grasse
One evening while in France, I was lucky enough to be invited out to dinner with co-workers in Grasse. I had visited there once before and gone on a tour of the Fragonard perfume factory, but this time we got a local tour of the city. Up and down and all around. What a lovely

Today is National Nothing Day and International Hot & Spicy Food Day and Appreciate a Dragon Day and National Fig Newton Day. Up early to tackle to usual and to unpack (so I could repack a little better). I left a little late for my photography class at Showcase, but got there on time anyway.
evolving packing list.
I wrote years ago about creating a master packing list. About how I thought it was a silly thing. Who could need such a thing? As time has gone by, I’ve come to depend on it. Not to remember the basics but to remind of the little things I like to have a long. Like

Today is Frisbee Invented and National Rubber Ducky Day and National Peach Melba Day. Up early to work more and do the usual morning stuff. Yawn. Mid-morning I headed out to run all the errands and go to my trainer appointment at the gym. At home, I ate breakfast (at noon!), packed, and took a
happiness project: monthly breakdown
Back in April of 2011, I read The Happiness Project: Or, Why I Spent a Year Trying to Sing in the Morning, Clean My Closets, Fight Right, Read Aristotle, and Generally Have More Fun by Gretchen Rubin and was inspired to start my own Happiness Project. Since then, life has gotten in the way, and

Today is National Marzipan Day and Curried Chicken Day. Up early to work and take care of things. I then headed out to volunteer at the Red Cross and finally returned to the gym after too long away. Being stretched in too many directions at the moment, but I really need to go to the
book report: 12 jan 2016
This week I finished The Girl Who Saved the King of Sweden: A Novel by Jonas Jonasson. I don’t know how; I felt like all I did last week was run around at full speed…. I thoroughly enjoyed it (the book, not the week). I’ve also been continuing to read the Outlander series on my
