I just had to follow up last night’s Itty Bitty Burgers with a Fingernail Friday to keep the fun going! I know I skipped a few weeks, but it’s for good reason: after months of doing my nails twice a week, the novelty wore off. I went and got a shellac manicure which lasted two [...]
We all know how this is really going to go. I can never keep my mouth shut, hence the lack of “Wordless” anywhere in the title. I arrived home yesterday to Adam cooking dinner. The next thing I knew, this plate was being presented to me. Chicken picatta from this Giada recipe, roasted green beans, [...]
ENTRIES ARE NOW CLOSED! WINNER ANNOUNCED HERE! I got a bunch of emails, comments, and tweets asking me to do a tutorial for the giant bulky infinity scarves I’ve been crocheting. Usually, when I get a request for something, even if it’s just one of you, I’ll go for it… So, this is my infinity [...]
I wasn’t going to do a 2011 “Best Of What’s for Dinner” post for a few reasons, but mainly, and completely honestly, I don’t particularly want to look back on 2011. It started out with the absolutely worst week of my life so far. Starting the year out with the death of my dad was [...]

In preparation for the upcoming holidays, I hosted a nail art club meeting at school on Tuesday. We all did something slightly different, but there was a definite theme: Some of us did Santa jackets Some of us did Winter and Christmas scenes And some of us did Christmas lights! I’m currently rocking an extremely [...]
TGIF! I hope you all had a wonderful week, and I for one, am glad that it’s over and we’re one week closer to the holidays! I have to admit though, its quite odd that it hasn’t snowed yet. I’m not going to jinx it, but I’m rather weirded out by the fact that there [...]

The response was overwhelming to last night’s question, “Should I do a ‘favorite things’ post?”, and you all seem to want to know the kinds of things that I like! This is, by no means, a sponsored post. Anything on here was either purchased by me or given to me as a gift. I am [...]

It’s official. I’ve lost my mind and have spent altogether too much time on my nails. I discovered an online nail art store called the Born Pretty Store, and they have some of the most adorable and creative things for nail art. I’d seen it linked all over the nail blogs that I stalk incessantly, [...]

TGIFF! (Thank Goodness its Fingernail Friday) Ok, who am I kidding, it’s just a normal TGIF around here! It’s been a week full of good food… did you see the pasta with vodka sauce I made for our anniversary and the South Beach Diet shepherd’s pie? No? I’ll wait… Fingernail Friday is a little extensive [...]

You guys are going to have to roll with me on this one. Like many of you, I drink coffee. I also have, I’m suspecting, like many of you, a hard time remembering to wash my reusable insulated coffee cups in time for the next morning… which drives me crazy. I try so hard to [...]
