Iced Irish coffee on a summertime deck allows for deep breaths and thankfulness.

We all know we're going to get some bad weather in April - cold, blustery, more March than May.

I choose to take advantage of this cloudy, blustery day to curl up on the couch with books and tea.

It's funny how we as a society grasp random holidays and sporting events to make life feel more exciting. Like a college basketball tournament.

We know in the overall scheme of things it makes no difference - except to the few players who get recruited for the pros - but we'll still create our brackets and become completely involved with who's winning. The experts would say it makes us feel connected and we vicariously experience "our" team's success.

I say it's just fun. But then, I chose Kentucky to take it all.

Loving my second morning in a row in my chair with a cup of coffee.

I don't always get my days off together, so when I do, the second day always feels like a bonus!

Happiness is when spring comes early - especially after last year's season of record snow, and cold, rainy weather through May.

Broke out the grill for the season last night with a steak I found in the freezer and a baked potato. This is living.

Happy Valentine's Day, all! Yes, we should acknowledge our love every day of the year, but there's something nice about setting a day aside to say "I love you."

True to form, I commemorated what-for-me-is-an-emotional-holiday last night with a back-to-back-to-back movie marathon of Friends with Benefits, Valentine's Day, and Love Actually. Because, "Love actually is all around."

Yes I'm awful about posting. I'm working on it.

Today is a day for coffee and bad TV. It's 0 degrees out - these activities were made for days like today!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Spending my evening with a Friends marathon and red wine. :)

Peppermint tea on a chilly autumn day.

Pink leopard print satin pj pants, men's tube socks, and a The Who concert tshirt just makes me feel like me.
