How did I miss this?

I lived in Brookline, Massachusetts for 2 years... and I took the green line T from Brookline Village and somehow missed the fact that they taped America's Test Kitchen like a block down the street. How did I miss this???

Ok, technically I cannot remember if I knew what America's Test Kitchen was back then, but I probably did...

Anyway, that is my rant for the day.

Thanks for reading...

How do we do it and keep our sanity?

Ever get overwhelmed and think that there is just too much stuff to manage in your everyday life? Between bills and goals and just little every day things that you have to remember to do, or want to try... or cleaning that you have been putting off or a savings plan that you want to build...

But there is just not enough time or energy (more emphasis on the energy), plus there is the time that you put aside to spend with others... or calling old friends, or relatives...

Not to mention a tad bit of alone time.

How is it possible that we keep all of our proverbial balls in the air with no real plan in place (often times)?

AND - I don't even have kids!!! Oye!

Just a thought... Happy Monday.

Thx, C.

All talk...

Hi. :)

We are going to put a little hold on wedding planning chat and talk about DIY projects and things that I have been talking about doing, but seem to be all talk and no action. So, I am going to try to change that. I am going to talk about some of the things I plan to do, and while I know I am not going to accomplish all of them immediately, I am going to work on them. This is kind of a bucket list, but for the more immediate future. :)

First, I need to make a menu and shopping list each week and only go grocery shopping once a week. This is less of a little project and more of a necessity, so I need to do this.

Second, I want to make breads and muffins and hard boiled eggs for each upcoming week. I want to learn to make more things rather than buy them. My goal here is to reduce the number of hidden ingredients that I eat by making my own food staples.

Third, I am dying to re-upholster something. I am thinking about looking for something at a flea market and working on it (Jeremy is thrilled, clearly... hehe). Maybe a chair. I just have to find a good one - and cheap. (I also want to build myself a Headboard and learn to sew pillows and stuff to decorate my condo. Oh, and paint... before Sarah leaves, otherwise I will never hear the end of it.)

I also need to start eating better and getting to the gym...

Ok, that is all for now... I am sure I will add to this. I am also working on a real bucket list, but that will be another post.

Pictures to come... I promise. I just need to find the cord to upload them. Add get organized to this list... :) Actually, that might go on the bucket list. Realistically, I'm just sayin'.

Have a great night.
