Taking the ordinary to the extraordinary one small change at a time.
I have several obsessions this summer. I am obsessed with margaritas. I am obsessed with watermelon. I am obsessed with lime. I am obsessed with guacamole. Hmmm, a pattern seems to be emerging. And if I am going to be honest with myself, I am obsessed with pairing them up. I guess I am a... Continue Reading →
Hi all! I got back from Pittsburgh on Sunday evening and between computer issues and work stress I have not posted. So do allow me to present you with just one photo. A beautiful photo. A photo of one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen, smelled and tasted. Yes, this is a photo... Continue Reading →
Hey! Been a crazy week! But I did not want to go a whole week without posting. I was in Blacksburg, Va. this weekend visiting my Dad and, as always, we had bacon and eggs for breakfast. He likes his eggs sunny side up with bacon fat drizzled over the top to give the yolk... Continue Reading →
I did my taxes this weekend. I also made daiquiris. The two pretty much go hand in hand in my home. I mean, If I did my taxes sober I would get really, really sad and then want a drink to make the sadness go away. But if I have daiquiris WHILE I do my... Continue Reading →

Or playing Free Cell or Words With Friends on my... Continue Reading →
The mini red poppy teapot, $34.95 from LindaAnderson.com, um, adorable. I am envisioning the table now. Who needs a centerpiece when every place setting will command attention? It would look lovely in my imaginary tea room in my imaginary beach house. I am thinking some tea and raspberry-topped almond poppy seed cookies would go nicely right about... Continue Reading →
Yes, the poppy. You didn't think that last post was going to stand all alone did you. Don't you know me by now? It's Labor Day and, unofficially, the end of summer. And by turning the calendar from August to September we welcome fall and say goodbye to summer. Has it only been a few months since I first posted the... Continue Reading →
Funny, I could blame my recent crush on changes in my medication, but they were adjusted long before I found myself smitten. What has me in a tizzy you ask? Why, a shower curtain. Crate & Barrel's Unikko Black Shower Curtain ($59.95) to be exact. And being the thrifty gal I am, I have been talking myself out of... Continue Reading →
