In no particular order, I don’t like the smell of: Gardenias, jasmine, rubbing alcohol, sweat, patchouli, cigarettes, rose (but the tea-rose kind of rose, I like the sweet-smelling kind of rose), bacon (but only in the context of not wanting my home or clothes to smell like bacon, it’s perfect-smelling while it’s cooking and being…
I know we’re into April, but I still wanted to update how February and March went. You can look back to my January update if you’re *really* that into my list! Feeling 16 again. This one is the general health one. The biggest thing I did here was go see my doctor for a physical….
One of my favorite magazines is Real Simple, and one of the things I love to see it in is their choice of home accessories. The mark of a successful (for me) magazine is the number of pages I rip out to keep. The January issue had 12 rippable pages! Here are a few of…
Back at the beginning of January, I told you all the 10 things I hoped to do more of in 2011. I thought, in an effort to be accountable to myself, I’d update how I’m doing each month. So, here is how I did in January. Feel 16 again. The only thing I’ve done for…
Every year, at the beginning of January, I start peppering my sentences with, “I can’t believe it’s already [insert year here]!” I tried to be more aware of the time this year, and part of that was working on my resolutions for 2011. I thought I had it all worked out, but I just read…
I am thankful for Democracy. I appreciate that we live in a country that can change governments every 2-4 years without a shot fired. I am thankful for the men who established our country in the first place, for the women who fought so I could vote, and for the men and women who fought…
Look! Pretty new background, new categories, a blogroll! It looks like I’m getting more serious about this blogging business. In some form or another, I’ve been blogging since January 2006, but it’s been fairly haphazard (everything from web journals to MySpace and Blogger). So, with the help of the wonderful @mamikaze, I’m making the transition…
Sandra Bullock and I? We’re the same. I know you think it’s the beauty, poise and millions of dollars in salary that showcase the similarity between Ms. Bullock and myself; but, you are wrong. I don’t follow much gossip stuff (except what is gleaned from Go Fug Yourself and Mama Pop), but there are a…
We live with my husband’s parents, and we are paying off a lot of debt. It’s been incredibly helpful and Nicholas loves living out in the country. He gets to run and play and explore. W is getting his master’s degree right now and we’re going to live with his parents until he’s done and…
I am fairly sure I don’t have any actual followers, er subscribers, on this blog. Regardless, I should have been updating. I’m starting now. I can feel the excitement that was generated by that statement! Electric! A few updates: William and I got married in April! It was perfect and exactly what we wanted. Except…
We went up to Austin a couple of weeks ago and had our engagement pictures taken by Travis and Megan with Rebel With A Camera. If you’d like to take a look, visit the gallery. Just look under Engagements for Sherry & William, and check them out. We had such a great time with Travis…
I’m sitting here, in the study/office, amid a huge pile of stuff. We’re in the middle of moving, and even though a majority of our belongings are in storage, it still seems that the piles multiply when we’re not looking. There is an old-wives’ tale that says that what you are doing the moment Midnight…
