Summer Reading Pledge update

As you may recall, this summer I’m participating in a Summer Reading Pledge – hosted by Caiti (of Life is a Canvas).

I originally pledged to read at least 5 books between June 1 and September 1 – I intentionally set a low number because I have so much else going on right now [...]

Summer Reading Pledge

3 days without seeing Andrew

I think we can all agree by now that Andrew is a crazy workaholic.

I’m OK with it. I knew this before I married him.

Andrew’s off-the-charts work ethic is one of my favorite things about him.

This past week, his boss was out of town – which means free studio time for Andrew.

GOOD: He has soo much fun – this time [...]

Top 5 Favorites: Reasons we love Netflix Instant streaming

It’s no secret Andrew and I love Netflix.

Obviously.

It’s pretty much one of our favorite things. We won’t pay for cable TV because Netflix is enough ….

And then Netflix did one better and offered unlimited instant streaming via the internet.

And THEN … they hooked up with Nintendo and let us [...]

Rainy weekend

I won’t tell you about all the things I had *hoped* to accomplish this past weekend ….

Because it poured down rain all weekend and I just kind of gave in to the lazy ….

I did, however, succeed in finishing watching the audio commentaries of season 3 of Mad Men AND had my [...]
