Something I Realized On My Day Off While You Were Slaving Away at Work


Someone needs a brow wax.

Oh, and waking up at 11.00 when you are already at work feels and tastes amazing.

Have fun with that work thing.

Yes, that is my shower door.

Today's Impulse Buy

Pretty, non?

The Power of a Hashtag

So these finally arrived today...



... in support of Eve and Candace, the world's foremost swim vloggers, their adventures, and fledgling swimmers who do not have big endorsement deals.

Oh, yes, and because I thought it would look cheeky and be funny to have #NathanAdriansChest across my rack.  He is our #collectiveboyfriend and pretty much the best reason to love swimming.


Seriously, how could anyone resist?

You can get your shirts here.

Ahh London, How You Taunt Me

Thanks to Cass, I fell in love with The Londoner over the summer.  I'm now living my life through Rose.

London, you and I are going to have to meet soon.

Happy 2013

2012 was a rough one and I'm certainly glad it is over.

As the year came to an end, things have started to look up.  That whole end of the world thing did not happen (worst apocalypse EVER), and I discovered online shopping really is the only way to go when one is doing their Christmas shopping (read the fine print so you do not get beat down by a courier looking for brokerage and customs taxes).

There are no resolutions this year.  It really seems rather pointless and feels like I am setting myself up for failure.  "Do better" is this year's mantra... just do better and be better, in all ways.

One of those ways is my commitment to getting those Pinterest projects done.  Tonight I made this very moist very delicious chicken.  Quick hint: make sure the chicken breasts are snug in the baking dish or the topping will slide off as the chicken comes close to being cooked.  This chicken goes great with pasta and vegetables like asparagus, mushrooms, onions, and peppers.

PS: Glad your back Captain Celery.  I have missed you dearly and love you still.  This year is our year.
