I’ll quickly leave a note to say that I’m sorry for leaving the blog in a lurch. Last week, I got great news and can happily announce that I am gainfully employed once again! As three days ago, instead of driving downtown, I’m now hanging out back at a university and so far I’m really [...]
Thanks to the magical balance board and Wii Fit… I’d really started to forget what “Wiibow” (or wii tennis elbow) felt like. That is, until they invented this amazingly magical contraption known as Wii Motion Plus, and suddenly that sting in my right elbow is back like it’s [...]
This past Sunday, Mr. M got to enjoy his first “five-way” grilled cheese sandwich while I looked on in jealousy (we try our best not to order the same thing when we eat out). In order to gain my own perspective, I decided to make my own version of the sandwich… but I kept out [...]
I saw a story about the Paperless Post today on TV… a service that delivers pretty paper invites to your guests, but in the form of a virtual image instead.
While the invites are pretty… and come to your inbox in the shape of a clickable envelope… they aren’t completely free. The virtual [...]
Looks like I’ll need to try out this cream puff recipe long before my mom’s birthday rolls around…. as it looks pretty good to me!
Are you the kind of person who likes to know roughly how many calories you’ll be consuming when you eat out? I go back and forth between wanting to know… and not. On our second date, Mr. M took me out to an omakase (loosely mean’s chef’s choice) sushi dinner. This was problematic because I [...]
It’s that time of year again… time to shred the guilt about shopping for the fall because the prices are low BEFORE the products hit the stores. Yes, yes, it’s time for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.
Here’s a couple of the deals that you might want to look into… just in case you [...]
Mid-July often leaves one yearning for September television… with new shows and old ones returning for guaranteed entertainment on the DVR. Yet I have to admit that I really like summer TV right now… and it’s something I actually look forward to enjoying once the temperature has dipped below 80 at 10pm at night. Now [...]
Ask someone what their favorite part of magic is in the wizard world, and I’m sure someone will shout out “moving photos!” Today, Photojojo.com has the instructions on how to make your own moving photos… you just need a camera that can take videos, a tripod, imovie or movie maker, and [...]
Yesterday, as the triple-digit-temperatures slowly edged their way back into the forecast, I had an intense craving for a popsicle. I thought about getting BIG STICKS, but there were none to be found at the market or at Target. It was then that I happened upon the box of 100 Otter Pops, sitting at [...]
On Friday, Mr. M and I headed up the road to watch our first World Team Tennis match at the mall… yes… the mall. Each summer, they construct a huge tennis court on the edge of the parking lot for the month of July for the events and concessions (where they sell those uber [...]
