Three Years

Three years ago today we said "I do."

And, now we are living happily ever after.

Or, you know, we are working and paying bills and making dinner and making each other laugh every single day.

I am lucky to have him.

A Little Too "Golden Girls"?

I can't decide if this vest would be like a chic, cozy blanket... or like something an older woman might put on if it got a little chilly on the lanai.

I think I like it either way.

Make-Up Monday: Sephora by OPI's Merry Me!

How sparkly and fabulous is this nail polish?

It would be perfect for a holiday party.

It would also be perfect for a mini-marathon of Desperate Housewives on the couch on a lazy Sunday afternoon.

(Barney and I can vouch for that).

Let Them Eat Cake

Confession Time: My favorite kind of cake is Funfetti with Rainbow Chip frosting.

I just love all of those delicious artificial colors and flavors.

But, if you are looking for a cake that doesn't come from a box, I highly recommend Hershey's Perfectly Chocolate Cake.  (Or, as I call it, the recipe on the back of the cocoa powder).

It is delicious and difficult to mess up.

Those are the two things I look for in a cake.

Birthday Week: A New Arrival

Speaking of birthdays, this little guy had his first one today.

This means that I am officially an aunt.

I am ridiculously excited about this.

Birthday Week: Forget-Me-Knot

Mr. Kinne slipped this little ring on my finger this afternoon.  

He remembered my mentioning it forever ago and made a point of picking one up for me.

I really like that guy.

Make-Up Monday: A Little Birthday Sparkle

You guys, my birthday is tomorrow!

Which means it is officially....

I think that, as we get older, we tend to let birthdays become a little less special.  We get wrapped up in work and bills and life.

Well, I refuse to let the fact that I am turning 27 pass by with just a little cake.  (Nothing against cake.  Seriously, bring on the cake).

Tomorrow, I am going to paint on my favorite red nail polish....

And I am going to put on a little sparkly lip gloss...

And, well, actually, I'm going to go to a day of professional development at school...

And, then, I'm going to vote...

But, I'm going to end the night with a giant chocolate milkshake at Red Robin.

Because, you know, I know how to party.
