I love this link up. I get to peruse other people's awesome craftiness, and I don't feel as inadequate about certain aspects of my life because I have something to contribute!
OK, OK. So my pin re-lived was another no-bake recipe. Shoot me. But, in my defense, it was for the holidays and I needed something I could bring to three different places (one for each, of course). I needed something delicious, quick to make and easy to transport.
As soon as I saw this Goat Cheese with Pistachios and...

10 Years Later
Sigh.
That's me, sad to be home after a wonderful Thanksgiving at home with family and friends. Even though we were there from Wednesday until Sunday—twice as long as our normal weekend visits—it went too fast, as always.
Aside from spending time with both of my insanely cute nieces, my crazy family and in-laws—God love 'em all—I was able to get in some good time QT with friends.
Like at my 10-year high school reunion. I'm officially old.
Truth be told, I wasn't totally pumped about going....

With This Ring...
I l-o-v-e talking about weddings. Especially my own :)
I will have plenty to do by way of weddings in the next couple of years, with both my best friend and my sister getting married. I hope my sister-in-law will get engaged soon, too...add another to the list!
In any case, my friend Mary told me about this Wedding Wednesday link-up with A Happy Wife in NOLA. It's open to all brides, former and to-be. I had so much fun with my wedding and I didn't have my blog—er, didn't write on my blog—during...

Does Anyone Know Ellen?
First of all, Happy Tuesday Thursday. I'm super pumped tomorrow is Wednesday Friday.
Second of all, I'm serious—I need someone with connections right now.
On Saturday, I was getting ready to jump on the treadmill when my phone rang. The number was from Los Angeles area; I figured they would leave a message.
My hour on the machine of death concluded. There was no message to listen to. Wrong number, or just another person trying to get money from me.
I continued my day, heading to Trader Joe's,...

It's OK Thursday, Vol. 2
I'm so excited. For a few not-that-exciting reasons:
I'm having drinks tonight with my bestie, Sara, whom I haven't seen in a month! (This actually is exciting).
It's Thursday! (Less exciting, but still good news.)
I remembered this link up, which I haven't done in 2 months! Perfect solution for my writer's block.
Brunch with Amber
A Complete Waste of Makeup
OK, so I lied, all of these reasons I'm excited are all reason enough.
It's been a week, folks. By that I mean, it's been...

Best. Date. Ever.
I have a pretty baller husband. Date night was scheduled for last Tuesday. Just dinner, nothing fancy.
Until he calls me up and asks if, by any chance, would I like to go to Obama headquarters as our date instead of the neighborhood bar across the street?
Hmm, let me think about that one, oh wait, YES please!
And so it was. How, you ask?
My husband is in the business of event marketing. One of his vendors, who sets up many of his events, was also in charge of some of President Obama's events,...

Celebrate.
I'm so sad the election is over and I'll stop getting bombarded by political commercials and ignorant banter on Facebook!
Said no one ever.
Today is a day for celebrations. And not just because the election is over. Or Obama won. Although, I will say that last night was one of the most incredible experiences ever. More on that later.
No, today I want to sum up some super exciting happenings from recent months! Most of these things involve diamonds and babies - two of my favorite things!
I...

Election Day Coverage
Keeping it short and sweet today, kids. GO VOTE!
No matter what you believe, or who you believe in, it is truly amazing that as a country, we each have the individual freedom to vote. Take a stand for something. It's never mattered more!
My hubby scored us VIP tickets to OBAMA headquarters tonight! Super pumped to be onsite with fellow Chicagoans and supporters to hopefully celebrate the President's re-election. And if he doesn't win, it will still be an honor and privilege to be there for this...
