Summer Snaps...


I have a confession to make: I haven't really used my camera much this summer. We don't reallydo much, so there aren't a lot of photo opportunities. That said, I did make certain to take a slew of pictures of my niece when I saw her a couple weeks ago. They're definitely something I'll treasure, especially since I only see her once a year. So, without further ado, The Bubs:

We be jammin'...

This FOBTY challenge is rather timely for me. For my 35th (did I just admit that?) birthday this past Monday, my wonderful husband bought me an iPhone, something I've been pining for for quite some time now. With that purchase, I can finally take my music with me! Seriously, I was the only person in the house who didn't own some form of MP3 player. Yes, even my six year old has one. Time for Mommy to come out of the dark ages, right?

Well, here's what's on my list:

Guy Sebastian (winner of season one Australian Idol): The Memphis Album (and a sampler EP)
Ryan Star: Last Train Home EP and Breathe single
Jimmy Needham: Not Without Love and Speak (full albums)
Greg Laswell: Three Flights From Alto Nido
Parachute: Losing Sleep
Julian Drive: My Coming Day
Jamie Cullum: Catching Tales
Ayo: Joyful

I'm still building the playlist right now, so that's where I'm at.

Road Warriors...

That's what we are right now. Well, sort of. Andrew's the warrior, D and I are just along for the ride. ;) Yesterday, we drove through Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, and part of Illinois. Friday we made it through South Carolina and part of Georgia. Today's the final leg of the trip--we'll be home tonight!

I managed to get one picture of Lookout Mountain in Chattanooga, TN as we drove by. For a picture from my phone, I'm pretty happy with it, lol!


Now I have to go get in the car again. Just six or seven more hours until home!!

Cheesecake--food of the Gods?

I love cheesecake. Sweet, savory, fruity, chocolatey. I love cheesecake. My favorite? A nice big slice of classic New York Cheesecake. It's rich and decadent on its own, sweet and creamy and so dense that I can never finish the whole slice. Bonus! Leftovers! Add a spoon of cherries or strawberries on top, I'm in heaven. There is no better treat. These days, that cheesecake is a distant (as in 700+ miles away) dream. I haven't found cheesecake that good here in WI, but I haven't given up hope. Someone, somewhere has it. I will find it!!

The Name Game




You Like Names That Are Classic and Timeless



You prefer quality names that have stood the test of time.

You don't like anything that's trendy today and outdated next year.



Names are important to you, and naming someone should not be an social experiment.

You are the type most likely to name someone after a family member.



Some female names you might like: Andrea, Elizabeth, Hannah, Julia, Marie, Nicole, and Victoria



Some male names you might like: Aaron, Benjamin, Christopher, Jonathan, Matthew, Thomas, and Zachary

Summertime...and the livin' is eeeeeeeeeeeeeasy...



You Should Spend Your Summer in the Mountains



You're quiet, introspective, and a great thinker.

You need a summer vacation that gets you away from the crowds and the heat.

So retreat to the mountains, where you can clear your head.
