    Home Days*

    I had such a lovely (albeit cold) day. I think there was a problem with our heat last night. The Hubster and I always joke that we live in a “sauna house”. Our apartment building is heat-controlled, so the building manager sets it for us and it’s usually a balmy 25 – 28°C in here. (I think there is an older lady upstairs that complains whenever it’s too cold.) We love our little tropical paradise and spend our time lounging in bare feet and t-shirts, and open windows for a breath of cold air from time to time. Last night I actually felt cold. I knew something was wrong when…

    Lightening Up*

    As I was thinking about which TV shows I would include in last night’s post, I realized just how much my TV habits have changed. To begin with, I am watching significantly less TV than ever. I’ve really cut back on what I’m watching, and I’m not wasting my time with shows that I don’t absolutely love. Some of my favs that made the cut are Hoarders, Glee, and I’m testing the waters with American Idol this year. So far I am hearting the Steven Tyler  + Jennifer Lopez combination. I’ve also changed the type of TV shows I watch. I used to be obsessed with any type of “crime”…

    30 Day Challenge – Day 3*

    I almost missed my post tonight! I was going to write earlier, but then the Hubster and I sat down and played a game a crib, and we’re now curled up in bed watching The Edge. As I’m short on time, I thought I’d do another task for my 30 day challenge! Day 03 – A picture of the cast from your favorite show. Well, that’s an easy one.  I have one show that I love more than all others and have forever: LOVE this show. If you have not watched this show on a semi-regular basis you are SO missing out. It is hilarious, so clever and the cast is amazing.…

    Lovely Saturdays*

    I love Saturdays. While I was working my crap part-time job, having a Saturday free was a rare treat. My manager didn’t like working them, and I almost always had to. If I wanted a weekend off, I had to book it weeks in advance, and it was bad form to book more than one off in a six week period. When I finally quit in August, it took me a long time to get used to having my Saturdays free. I’m terrible at sleeping in–my internal alarm clock is always set to 6:08am–but it’s so nice to laze around in bed until 8am and not feel like I have…
