If you are playing along at home, you’ll know that we’ve been planning on painting our apartment before our furniture gets here. Well, as you read this (hopefully) all of stuff is FINALLY being loaded onto a truck. It should… Continue Reading
Faithful Reader, I live at the beach and I love it. Bub and I comment and agree on a weekly basis that our decision to move here was the best decision for us! We love it. Living at the beach… Continue Reading
I’ve been making excuses the past month and a half about all the reasons why I’m too stressed to workout/take care of myself… when, in fact, those stressors are all the reasons why I SHOULD be working out. My whole life… Continue Reading
Under no circumstance am I an advanced gardener! It is only in the last six or seven years that I have even discovered that I like plants. For a majority of my life it was all I could do to… Continue Reading
I’ve always been “mature for my age”… which was all fine and good, until I actually started getting older. I don’t want to sound like Andy Rooney (will the kidz even GET that reference), because I believe growing older is a… Continue Reading
I come from a long line of hoarders, ahem, memory keepers. I attach sentimental value to everything. Yes, it gets tiresome and yes, it gets old. I wouldn’t say I am ready to apply for the TLC show Hoarders, Buried… Continue Reading
The thing about Los Angeles, like New York, is that anything can happen. There is just something in the air that is different; everything is on an elevated wavelength. “Famous” people live all over the world, but there is just a higher… Continue Reading
I just keep chugging along with these Throw Back Thursdays. It started with part one- Darlington, which was so much fun, it led me to part two- Millsaps. Now, I am onto Jackson, life after Millsaps. Although I lived in… Continue Reading
We’ve been pretty bad here at Fun Things To Do While You’re Waiting this summer about keeping up with playlists and guest posters. Summertime is just busy… for everyone… and no one likes to be shaken down for a guest post-… Continue Reading
Since Coralie has been taking strolls down memory lane, it inspired me to go through my digital collection. I found some great ones… but one, in particular, made me laugh out loud. So, here is my throw-back and my truth… Continue Reading
I have made references to my stepmom’s signature breakfast… well, one of her signature breakfasts. She’s really a great cook- and this is a simple dish, but Farmer’s Breakfast is truly delish and very easy to make! It is made… Continue Reading
Fun Things To Do While You’re Waiting has been going strong for a little almost four and a half months now! Say WHAAA??? That’s a third of a year?! We’ve published 153 (154 including this one) posts and are STILL going strong. As… Continue Reading
The development and widespread acceptance of cell phones TOTALLY blows my mind! They are no longer just a device for making phone calls on the go, they are on-ramps for the information super highway AND they are a camera that… Continue Reading
Our Chicago apartment was on the 14th floor. All my dreams of freshly-grown herbs were always dashed as wind chimes and window boxes are things that just cannot exist successfully on a 14th- floor Chicago balcony. Now that we are… Continue Reading
Baby Bub is my first and in all likelihood, will be my only child. I did not have any prior experience with babies before him. There were no previous pregnancies or babies that I could draw from. I have friends… Continue Reading
We have been in our apartment for a little over a week now. A few days after we moved in, Jojo and I went to Home Despot and got some paint-sample, colored cards. One of the suggestions I’ve read in… Continue Reading
I love pepper jelly. Pour it over an 8-ounce block of cream cheese, throw some wheat thins around it and call it a day! It is easy, delicious, and a general crowd-pleaser. And I have really been inundated with peppers… Continue Reading
With most of my shoes in storage, I’ve relied heavily on a select few pair of shoes this summer. One of which have been my fluorescent-pink Old Navy flip-flops that matched my favorite toenail polish of the summer. I’ve flopped… Continue Reading
I explained two weeks ago when I did my first Throw Back Thursday that I was gonna need to throw back several times to cover the different chapters of my life. So, here I am with the second installment. This… Continue Reading
Manners are important; especially in my family. Being a good hostess is one of my top priorities so when I become a guest, I am particularly conscious of my actions. Jojo and I have recently been houseguests for over a… Continue Reading
