Silly Saturday

 

Welcome to Silly Saturday, a light-hearted post designed to bring a smile.

While living in Anchorage Alaska and going to the University of Alaska Anchorage (Go Seawolves!), we decided to spend spring break in Homer, Alaska. Trust me...this is not a hopping spring break destination. We went because I scored us a free hotel room.

Score!

While enjoying some much deserved adult beverages, I was watching tv while the boys played a game. Music videos were blaring and there's a chance P. Diddy's music video was on. (I don't really know what his music videos or music is like so it could have been any other artist.) I had a moment of brilliance.

I will be known as E. Diddy.

It has stuck ever since.

Most people earn their nicknames but I gave it to myself.

Silly?

Unequivocally, yes.

Please stay tuned for Serious Sunday, which is never really serious.

Thankful Thursday

 

Welcome to Thankful Thursday, a post for all things positive. I have posted this before but after a tough week, I need to get excited about something. I am thankful for good friends.  

This crazy crew is getting back together for a little weekend fun next week.

We use nicknames to protect the innocent.

Skub is on the left and he lives in Anchorage Alaska.

I'm in the middle of this crew, E-diddy.

Blue is on the right, he is my husband and we both live in Oklahoma City.

Next week, we get to help Skub celebrate one good weekend of bachelorhood before he gets married in February. Yes, we get to go to Anchorage, Alaska in February for a wedding. I am not excited for the weather, hence the reason I am happy to not live in Alaska any longer.

What are you thankful for today?

Please stay tuned for High Five For Friday.

Serious Sunday - a bit about me.

Welcome to Serious Sunday. Since I have new readers, I thought it would be great to introduce myself. I like to write, take photos, play piano, read, and stay generally active/healthy. My hubby and I have been married for 13 years (basically since we were kids). We don't have kids but we do take care of kitty cats: Chomps (gray kitty) and Kirby (brown kitty). We love to travel and you can check out where we've been on my Travels page. We have lived in Denver Colorado twice, Hawaii twice, Anchorage Alaska, and now we live in Oklahoma City. Originally, I am from Portland Oregon and that's where all my family lives. I miss the liquid sunshine, the ocean within a short drive, and my family. I plan on staying 29 for as long as possible and maybe longer than I can get away with it. It sounds like a good age to me. Final little random tid bit: I am allergic to chocolate and I don't care. (Its a quick sneeze and back to indulging in chocolate goodness.) If you have any questions or comments please post them below and I'll cheerfully email you back. Please stay tuned for Make a Difference Monday.
