It took a while, thanks to a nasty flu and some nasty weather, but I’ve finally started getting out on my new bike!  Today Xander and I went on a lovely 18.8 km bike ride, what a way to spend a Sunday! My new bike is fantastic and riding it highlighted just how crappy my old bike was.  I also …

Ok, this has been a long time coming but I think I’m finally able to write about it! haha  I don’t know if you followed my love of the Stephanie Plum series but this is something I’ve been discussing for a while.  I used to daydream about a movie being made from this series and came up with my own …

Today I went into the bedroom to make the bed and as usual Bailey jumped up on it and made himself comfortable, and it wasn’t long before Pixel was hopping to get up there too.  They both seemed to think it was a great time for a nap. I agreed! Unfortunately, my husband didn’t and came in to tell me …

When people ask me what my biggest problems are after my gastric bypass I think they are expecting me to say that I’m sick, that I can’t eat the things I love or that I have some freakish pain… but that’s not it, I have none of those problems.  Right now my biggest problems are hair loss (I knew this …

Yesterday was my 37th birthday and to celebrate it my husband and I went out with friends to see the new Avengers movie in IMAX 3D.  It was AWESOME! Ordinarily I might write a review, but I really only have one thing to say… YES PLEASE!!!

I DID IT!  After years of saying how much I want to learn to knit socks I finally sat down and started trying to learn how. With the help of my friend Staci from VeryPink.com I have followed her wonderful tutorials for learning to knit socks!  You may (ok probably not but whatever) remember Staci from years ago when I …

Another photo I took ages ago (in February, I think) and just never got around to doing anything with. I don’t remember how this was to apply but I know I liked wearing it.  I like the name even more, Hip Queens Wear Blue Jeans, it’s cute! I tend to quite like dark polish so this suited me well.  It’s …

I took this photo ages ago after I bought the Holland Collection and just realized that I never did get around to blogging it! The color is called Red Lights Ahead… Where? which is one of the colors that can be found in the box of minis.   That’s why I’m holding the Seche Vite bottle rather than the actual color …

First, let me say… UGH! Second, let me say… DOUBLE UGH! Right, well now that I have that out of the way, I can get down to the topic at hand, hair loss. The view this morning when I looked over the side of my chair.  A graveyard of lost hair I’ve pulled off my shirt over the past day …

Three years ago Penny got me a ticket to see our favorite performer in the world, PINK!  It was such an awesome evening and I had the most amaaaaaazing time (I’m already counting the days until she is in Rotterdam again!).  There was only one down side… one thing that sort of put a momentary damper on the experience.  When …

When Noah was two years old I started a blanket for him for Christmas. I really enjoyed making it but then like with a lot of projects I came to a part of the construction that was annoying and tedious and I put it away.  He turned four this weekend and for the last 1.5 years I’ve said “I really …
