Shopping Way In Advance

Thu, 18 Feb 2010 05:55:15 +0000

Do you know of anyone who buys his/her Valentine’s Day gift at Christmas time?

This is one for the books, as I was also shocked myself. My husband who hates to shop did the unthinkable by buying his V day presents for me last December. These two boxes were safely stored in his office, of course. [...]

Another Milestone

Tue, 02 Feb 2010 04:55:04 +0000

The day is almost over, but how can I let this day pass without writing about the special day of my partner in crime, my number one critique, my soul mate, my best friend, the man who spoils me to bits, the one and only love and sunshine of my life.

Happy birthday Hon! Here’s to [...]

Tue, 26 Jan 2010 05:10:46 +0000

Exactly one month ago, this Tiffany blue box came totally unexpected.

It was my husband’s Christmas present and I was taken aback as I thought this would have been a fitting gift for our incoming wedding anniversary – five months from now.

What’s inside the box? Something pretty and brilliant! (for my eyes only or maybe you’ll [...]

Tranquil Christmas Celebration

Christmas eve was spent quietly at home – just me and my husband. It was a big departure from past Christmas eves wherein we have consistently celebrated with family and friends at my sister’s home on Long Island.

Thanksgiving Day… My Way

Thu, 26 Nov 2009 06:38:24 +0000

In the middle of the hustle and bustle that this very important day brings, here I am hog-tied in our own home by choice. Call me indifferent, but today, there’s no better place to be at… than home.

I don’t miss waking up way too early on Thanksgiving Day as it has been in the years [...]

Calm Before The Fireworks

Sat, 25 Jul 2009 06:03:40 +0000

I took this picture way before the fireworks started on the fourth of July. See the calm before the fireworks.

We had our annual fourth of July backyard barbecue in Long Island, and we had a great time. It was fun as always, as we were in the company of family, friends [...]
