Nuggets of wisdom..
Currently reading “American Wife” by Curtis Sittenfeld. While I normally enjoy her books, this one is kinda “Meh.” But, I did come across this quote that made me stop and think - I always enjoy when that happens.

I read this article with a snarl on my face. I get 10 days…and even with that, it isn’t looked upon as acceptable. I truly believe if we had more vacation time, this country would be a happier place.
I am currently researching our Vegas trip for September and can’t wait say…”I’m...

I did not get up to watch (growing a human is hard work and sleep trumps pretty much everything). I love this though.

Gah, I am still hyped up on energy from the royal wedding this morning. I jumped/lurched/LEAPED out of bed at the ungodly hour of 5:15 so I wouldn’t miss a moment. If you didn’t see it unfold, I’m sorry. It was so, so, so, so much better watching it live than...

I typically do not look forward to the end of March Madness as it means I am “sports bored” until late August/ early September when my beloved Mountaineers begin their newest season and I get to spend lots of quality time in Boone.
