Five Things I’ve Already Packed:

Sparks koozie.
Swag fillable purse, with sunglasses and earplugs already inside.
Summer clothes! Sundresses.
Electronic everything chargers. 
Emergen-C. My hangover cure. 

Lowe’s Isn’t PetSmart

This might be a SLC thing – I’ve never spent so much time at Lowe’s and Home Depot as I have here. But seriously, people act like these stores are for dogs. I have seen more pets in HD than in an actual pet store.
Who thinks that’s a good idea? Where there are all kinds […]

Walls

We know how to make them. MK did an amazing job finishing out a small three walled closet space in the master bath. I just did the corner beading and joints. I need a superstar badge.
We found this space behind a wall that we were investigating. The best part? A hole in the wall. Like, […]

A New Phone

There have been quite a few occassions here that I’ve told you about my love for my Blackberry. It was a super fun phone and I was addicted to it. I may have not mentioned that I also had many problems with them. The latest Curve that I had crashed and shut off recently, and […]

We’ve only had three all winter. This bed and breakfast needs to advertise!

Five Reasons I Loved JC’s Visit:

My first lunch (and beer!) on the hill all winter.
Skiing nearly open to close three days straight.
Answers to my most ignorant Olympic questions.

SXSW Problem Solved: Time For An Upgrade

Just last week I was in a panic, I told you about it here.
So what do KD, JC, LC, and JA decide to do? We are going to kick it up a notch.
We got wristbands.
That’s right. KD called and made it happen! I’m so excited that hopefully the wristband, which is a step under a […]
