Neal and I went to a friend’s house Saturday to see off our friend who will be deployed overseas soon. I made some fun treats for the party, ’cause that’s what I do!
First, I made some chicken enchilada dip rollups that I saw on a food blog. They were pretty simple to make. I wasn’t [...]

So, you won’t believe what I just did.
Seriously, if you really know me, you’ll never guess.
Ready? Is the suspense killing you?
Here’s the deal:
I worked out.
Did you hear that? Yeah, I actually worked out! GO ME!
Neal’s been gently mentioning that I really should get in shape, for health reasons. I complain about my back hurting sometimes, [...]

So, Neal and I worked a little this weekend on the drywall. His parents have helped us on the majority of it when they come on the weekends, so the weekends they aren’t here, we try to do what we can with just the two of us. Which translates into mostly what Neal can do [...]

Gah. I love three-day weekends. They rock!
Saturday, Neal and I attended the wedding of a college friend of ours. Since Pete started dating Alycia, she’s also become a good friend of mine, and I was looking forward to attending their wedding for a long time. The ceremony was beautiful, and Alycia looked amazing.

I only took [...]

So, I’m sitting on the couch with cheese, crackers and wine, waiting for the American Idol finale to start. This is the life!
Neal somehow managed to snag some pretty neat “action” shots of a bee out on our deck. Take a gander:

He did a good shot, didn’t he?! I hope you can spot the bee [...]

So, you know I posted about Neal and I planting vegetable seeds? Well, they are actually growing! Whoo hoo! I can’t really take any credit for that, though. Although I really hate the rain, it’s really helped the seeds sprout.

And my peony looks gorgeous! The buds are getting big everyday. And the flowers need a [...]

So you are spoiled now. Two posts in one night!
OK, so I have no pictures for this post, but I have to tell you what Simone did. I was sitting on the couch after work today playing on my laptop. Neal wasn’t home from work yet. The cats were sitting at the front screen door [...]

So, I know it’s been forever since I posted. Sorry! It was a busy weekend and busy start of the week.
But I do have some pics of the weekend that I’d like to share with you.  Saturday, I went to a baby shower for a college friend of ours, Katie. Neal roomed with her husband [...]

So, Simone manages to be able to sleep anywhere we drop some sort of soft material. I have a towel sitting at the top of the stairs right now (it’s there because I want to bring in downstairs to put it away, but of course I always forget. It will probably sit there for a [...]

So, seriously, what the hell is up with this weather? I’m so sick of it. So sick of it. If I don’t see the sun tomorrow,  I’m quitting. Everything. Peace out.
To brighten my spirits, I’ll show you some photos of Neal and I starting our veggie garden. We took off last Monday, which was a [...]

So, when Neal and I moved into our house, we observed that the previous owners had already framed and insulated the attic. We had said we’d love to finish the room and make that our bedroom. Last year, Neal’s parents bought us drywall and supplies for Christmas to get started on the room. We didn’t [...]
