The best gifts come in lavender bags... I am cleaning out all of my old "personal" photos off my hard drive, and I never posted about my awesome birthday gift! Chris got me this awesome Jimmy

My friend Jeffrey had this on his videography blog and I thought it was awesome! It is the same video side by side - just one in forward and the other in reverse. Check it out:

My dad sent me an email with tons of incredible photos of airplanes. One of my favorites was this self portrait. I love that his name tag says "photographer" under his name. What a great job that guy

Today was the long awaited grand opening of Whole Foods in Orlando. Lucky for us - it is so close we could ride our bikes there! The only other Whole Foods in town is in Winter Park - about 30 minutes

And not the needle - the stuff they actually put in you! I know how it works and I agree that vaccines have saved many, many lives. But are so many of them necessary today? I just read an article about

After a day of exploring DC by foot, we got in the car and talked about where to eat. We didn't want to lose an hour and a half driving back to Annapolis to change into dress clothes, so we picked a

Since I clearly love food and trying new food, I need to start a food blog! We found a place in Annapolis called Potato Valley and they have the BEST baked potatoes! Look at these things! It is like

I have a Sex and the City theme party to attend and I was trying to figure out what to wear. We went and saw the movie this week since we knew they would be talking about it at the party and I didn't

We were about to go ride bikes when Chris yelled "Oh no" with a sad voice. I asked him what it was and he said a Mockingbird had just been hit by a car out front. The other Mockingbird kept hoping around

We went out one night for dinner with Melissa (she loves food as much as I do - can you believe it?!) and it was so funny to talk about the food and the taste and what they used to make it, etc. I didn't

I've been posting a lot of "soap box" topics lately and Chris and I had a discussion on DUIs today. We agreed that if the penalties were strict, people wouldn't continue to do it. Last week a car hit

I'd heard about this "two buck chuck" wine from Trader Joe's but since we didn't have one in Florida I've never seen it or tried it. We went to Trader Joe's while in DC and bought the Trader Joe's

The Space Shuttle just landed - I don't think I will ever get used to that sonic boom! It scares me EVERY time! I was just reading one of my daily inspirational emails and it said to make a list

As we headed out of Philly, we realized we had not eaten a cheesesteak! So we stopped and got one for breakfast. I'm glad we tried it, but it really isn't all that. I don't know what the big hoopla

Chris came and begged me to drive him to McDonald's tonight. At 2am. And I agreed. Bad idea! The McDonald's he loves (and the one that is open 24 hours) is right next to a construction site. We

Here is D (her full name is Diamond) at the house lounging. How is this comfortable? A more flattering shot of her sweet face: We headed down to the Italian Market for some sweet stuff. We

Since we had one day to check out the town, we decided the best way to do it was a tour. We picked the double decker bus and it was a hop-on, hop-off option that we liked. It had a few downsides - the

As we headed out on the town to tour Philadelphia, we stopped at a local place called Cafe Ole. Since it was a weekday, people were mainly ordering pre-made stuff from the counter and coffee. But we

I am an old school girl when it comes to calendars - I LOVE my paper and pencil. I have a Month-At-A-Glance that I use and it is the 5 year book. So I can scroll ahead to view years in advance, check

My purse friend MJ sent me a photo link today to these Louboutin Passementerie pumps: They are gorgeous! I decided I would buy them since they were SO awesome until I clicked on the link and

Since we were going to DC, we decided to drive up to see some friends in Philly for a day. I did some research on restaurants and one that came up as being great was Matyson. It offered a tasting menu

Since Google's art today was about the first demonstrated flight of a hot air balloon that took place on June 4, 1783, I decided I too would post about hot air balloons. We went to Albuquerque

We always avoid politics on the blog because politicians are not really that much fun to talk about and someone always starts whining, but these two guys are really funny so I had to post this video for

We were at the Coral Reef restaurant at Disney's Epcot recently. This is supposed to be one of the best restaurants on property and we decided to try and walk in without a reservation. When I was standing

Our first stop on our Alaskan cruise after finishing Alaska was Seattle, and it was not raining even though that is what we were told to expect. ;o) But we didn't have any idea what to do in Seattle so

So now that I'm finally back to posting about our Alaska Cruise I want to introduce you to our tablemates because by this point in the cruise we started to see them more and more and they are probably

I've figured out how most songs get stuck in my head each day - they are the ones that wake me up from the radio. But for some reason "under the sea" from the Little Mermaid is stuck in my head today.
