Say it ain’t so….even the name is too much.

Peanut Butter Train Cookies. This dough isn’t really for cookie cutters. :-) Conner didn’t mind though.

Goinv through stuff, packing, found a pattern my mom used to make maternity clothes when she was pregnant with me. Too awesome to not share.

Thinking 7 years is long enough to keep the glass slippers I wore on my wedding day……

I bought a guitar in college, with hopes of learning to play. All it cost me was my flute from high school and liquidating my savings. Clint and I had been dating nearly 3 years by then and he knew pretty much all there was to know about me. So I thought I would catch him off guard on Valentine’s Day, by a serenade with my newly aquired secret.

The plan was to write a song, lyrics and all, and meet him at the park on Valentine’s Day to show-off. Oh ya, and to learn to play the guitar! What lay ahead was 6 months of secret lessons with my stepdad, hiding the guitar from Clint, and praying that my roommate wouldn’t spill the beans. (thanks Michelle)

Finally Valentine’s Day arrived. I only knew 2 songs by then. “On Top of Old Smokey” and the one I had written. :-)  (and no, I won’t tell you anything about it.) I beat Clint to the park, planning to light candles and perch myself on a bench before his arrival. (it was a real John Mayer moment, i know) But to my dismay, the wind was blowing to beat the band! When Clint got there, I played the song I wrote on the guitar he didn’t know I had. Can I just say that the song was horrible and I can’t even write this out almost 10 years later without being embarrassed! But Clint was a great sport and pretended to love it.

Since then, I have been moving that guitar around with me, tucking it away in a new closet every couple years. But tonight I finally sold it. I had completely forgotten that whole story until I saw the lyrics to that goofy song as I was cleaning out the case.

And so it begins…..

Can’t wait for new season of Mad Men!

A coupon for filing bankruptcy? That’s not right, is it? Seems like shameless promotion to me.

All I want for Christmas is Two Lift Tickets!

Clint & I have been convinced, by my sister and her new hubby, that it is high time we learn to snow ski, no pun intended. So giving in to said “peer pressure”, we accompanied them to the ski store and tried on as many as suits as we…..I mean I….could in the time we had. Clint had his picked out at first walk through, but I took full advantage of my 3 personal shoppers and finally settled on this “Hot Pink Charlie Brown”, at 50% off mind you, given that it’s summer.

What is there not to love about this story? Snow, new clothes, 50% off, and the possibility of hot cocoa in the mountains!
