I Don’t Understand Weddings

March 31, 2010

I don’t understand weddings. Well okay, I get the concept of marriage, and therefore the pomp and circumstance that goes along with it. I’ve done that, I get that. What I don’t get are all of the “traditional” components of a wedding that don’t seem to have a purpose other than costing a lot of [...]

Color Blindness is HYSTERICAL!

March 25, 2010

J is red/green colorblind, which isn’t all that uncommon (our friend says he is red/green/purple colorblind, and THAT one I don’t understand. But hey, I’ll go along with it!)

Puerto Rico, you know the island . . . .

La de dah de dah de . . . . (Those are the only words from the West Side Story song that I know, sorry!) So J and I just got back from a week in Puerto Rico, and let me tell you, I had some FANTASTIC posts planned. Do you want to see some [...]

Pinching Pennies vs. Little Luxuries – The Epic Throwdown!

March 9, 2010

So obviously a lot of what we’re focused on these days has to do with money – where it’s gone, where it is going now, where it will be headed next, and all those other petty, boring details. And obviously, we’re very invested (haha, money pun!) in using our money wisely. However, this leads (as [...]

So tonight was my second attempt at making the green beans with cheese, and let’s just say that it is still a work in progress (Click here for the first chapter in this story). What I Did Differently This time I decided to be fancy, and for the first time in my life I bought [...]
