Happy Friday! Man, I’m glad to see Friday. I wasn’t happy to see 5am on my clock, but, oh well. Another comfortable day of errands in cloying humidity and ridiculous heat before a long holiday weekend. And, that, my friends, means shorts and a t-shirt. [...]

When the J. Crew fall catalog landed in my mailbox yesterday I’m pretty sure the sky opened and sparkly rain fell from the heavens.  Coincidentally my credit card and wallet burst into flames and I’m pretty sure my Husband’s head did too.  You know that old question about “If you could only [...]

I Got Felt Up in Vegas – Agent Provocateur

I spent all of last week in Las Vegas. It was the first vacation my husband and I have taken in seven years sans small people. I know. I have no idea how my head had not exploded during that time or upon landing in Vegas. Seriously.
