Dark Chocolate
My coworker went to a conference and brought me back this delicious Dominican chocolate. I suspect it wasn’t really to be nice and it was because he got it and then realized that it was 72% dark and thought that was disgusting and had to offload it on someone. I was happy to oblige. …

Basketball
We are babysitting our boss’s kids this week. They’re old enough that they can pretty much take care of themselves, we’re just there to keep the shenanigans to a minimum. How many balls can we get stuck in the hoop? I believe this is the new record. Playing Mexica

The Backyardigans
We moved into our house two summers ago and have slowly updated the yard. It wasn’t bad when we moved in, just a little 80’s with the lava rock and ugly bushes. It’s been a process, one that I realized gets worse before it gets better. Last year our backyard died, which is a long…

Be Sure To Wear Flowers In Your Hair
I hopped a flight to San Fran last weekend because 4 years is too long for me to go without seeing my dear friend, Jaimee. I will skip on any pictures from Thursday, the night I arrived. I had a 5 hour flight delay and judging from the photos alone, it didn’t bode well for…

Gift of Gab
Travelogue: Part 5 We had to make a choice for our last day between a few options. We decided on castle day. First stop was Dunguaire Castle near Galway built in 1520. After Dunguaire we headed onward to Bunratty Castle. We were taking a bit of a back road and came upon this really cool…

Castle on a Cloud
Travelogue: Part 4 We left Portrush early the next morning after our traditional Irish breakfast from our B&B. It was pretty much the same as English breakfast but they added black pudding. Neither one of us could bring ourselves to try it, I guess when “pork blood” is one of the ingredients my courage goes…

Five Short Days in the Emerald Isle
Travelogue: Part 3 We hopped from London to Dublin and were greeted by more green than I’ve ever seen. I was really looking forward to this leg of the trip because we got to see my cousin, Gloria. We’ve actually only met maybe three times in our lives; I don’t know my mom’s side of…

God Save the Queen
Travelogue: Part Two From King’s Cross Station in London we headed to the airport where we rented a car. It was a little too easy, in our opinion, to be handed keys to a vehicle in a foreign country with no instruction, where they drive on the wrong side of the road. It instilled a little confidence…

I See London
I’ve taken a bit of a hiatus from blogging. Once we started missing days from taking our daily picture I sort of lost the blogging spirit. Doug had a big birthday in March. The big three-oh. Dirty thirty. In lieu of a party, or any sort of celebration, we decided to plan a trip to…

FAIL Blog
This picture is so stupid. I had just cleaned out this bowl (you can’t really see the bowl) and Felix kept jumping in it every chance he could so we gave up and just thought it was funny. FAIL We forgot to take a picture this day. Our first miss in 1.25 years. Major fail.…
