You may have noticed that I changed the blog template a couple of weeks ago. I am not sure I’ll stay with this one but I love the larger photos and less clutter. I am still looking for another one that has some other features that I would like. Saying that, I did consider changing…
Oscars 2012 aka Fix The Mic
Ok – my observations so far after watching nearly two hours of the Oscars. FIX THE MICROPHONE!!!!!! Not sure if you can hear it, but there is a faint beep/feedback-like noise while people are speaking into the microphone. It has been unbearable.. I am one of those people that can hear every little noise at…
I am absolutely speechless
We were watching The Soup tonight when a clip came on from the TLC show, My Strange Addiction. This one takes the cake. I cannot believe what I saw! I hope this can be viewed outside the United States. I am distressed after seeing just a 2 minute clip! Ugh!
Lights, Camera…
All week we have had bright pink notices on every lamp post in our street about the filming of Blue Bloods on our block. This morning we came out of the lobby to this view – All of the big trucks, change rooms and location vehicles were ready to go. I’ve never watched Blue Bloods,…
Shrove Tuesday 2012
The time is upon us again – Lent! I am excited and really looking forward to Lent this year. Just to be still and ‘be’. I will write more about it soon. Being Shrove Tuesday, tonight we had our pancake feast and it was delicious! Note – over here, it is traditional to have bacon…
Christmas 2011
Oh I love love love that I am doing a Christmas post in February. Christmas in 2011 was awesome. We had the shopping aspect over very early so we were really able to enjoy the full season – but it was still super busy! A long night was spent at Queen of All Saints doing…
My best purchase of the season…
I cannot believe I am posting this – but my best purchase of this season has been the Coldwater Creek Knitted Poncho. Firstly, it was $80 marked down to $30. Then, after I ordered they had a 20% off sale and they did a price adjustment. Hooray! Even better? The quality is fantastic! The cowl-like…
Chicago and the Lake Shore Limited
Getting off the train in Chicago was exciting – we had a day to spend doing whatever we wanted! It was really cold and early Sunday morning. So we had booked a zipcar and thought we’d just drive around Chicago. We see ‘city’ every day so we relished at the chance to see some suburbia!…
The Long Weekend is here!
I always love Friday night… but Friday night on a long weekend is extra special. Chilling with Simply Red. Catching up on all RSS feeds. Jammies. Found an awesome lot of Simply Red clips from a concert in Chile. Just about perfect!
Our Great Amtrak Adventure
Back to our New Orleans trip, as I mentioned earlier, our original plans were to have a sleeper room on the Crescent from New Orleans to New York. So now, being booked to go to Chicago and then to New York, our departure time from New Orleans was later. Funnily enough, we received another phone…
