Shoe Friday #30 (Declutter Edition)

May 15, 2009

People. I decluttered my shoes. Look how sad it is. See those pink flip flops? Those are Juicy pink flip flops. I love those flip flops. But the Realtor said too many shoes. So into a box they went. That entire box is full of shoes. And I told Doug that we better not be [...]

Touchpoints

May 12, 2009

I've been coping with this whole "being sick" thing quite well, I like to think. In some ways I think it has made me a better stronger person. I complain less now. I'm grateful for the small things. I don't sweat the small stuff. If someone would take the Lupus and the RA away from [...]

Declutter Has Become My Least Favorite Word In The English Language

May 7, 2009

Our house goes on the market in two weeks. Two weeks. We have done all the big projects our Realtor recommended (except for new windows because I would also like to eat thank you very little) and now we are on the declutter phase. Declutter? With a 4 year old? And two sets of grandparents [...]

Who Takes a Vegetarian To A Burger Joint?

May 6, 2009

The DC Metro Moms! And Quaker! We had quite a party at Good Stuff Eatery, who by the way serves an amazing veggie burger. And I had never seen a minute of Top Chef but Spike could not have been more personable and welcoming. And I brought along Amy, an honorary DC Metro Mom for [...]

I’m Stark Raving Mad And My Only Option Is To Blog About It

May 5, 2009

Remember the little bauble Doug bought me when we went on the Disney Cruise? Last weekend it lost a stone. Not the middle stone but one of the side stones. I figured this was not a big deal, I didn't freak out, I called our insurance company. Who informed me I really didn't want to [...]

My 4 Year Old Thespian

May 4, 2009

Michael loves to put on little shows. He will make us say "introducing Michael" and then launch full scale productions of the 3 Little Pigs, Scooby Doo, or Bolt.
