Last night I cooked spaghetti squash for the first time. I’ve seen many different ways to cook the squash around the blogosphere; some cut it in half and microwave or bake, while others microwave or bake it whole. I knew it would take some major muscle to cut the squash in half prior to cooking [...]
Hope everyone is having a fantastic week! This is my 10th straight day of work at the hospital so I’m obviously looking forward to getting a day off on Friday. Cory has classes on Monday and Tuesday nights which leaves me cooking for one. On one of my solo nights this week, I tried Amy’s [...]
My Saints are headed to the Super Bowl!!! What a game?! We barbequed and watched the game at our friends Todd and Lori’s house. As soon as we won in overtime, fireworks started going off all around the city. People were literally dancing in the streets on our way home. A few of my friends [...]

My cousin bought me a wedding countdown clock a couple of weeks after Cory and I got engaged. I remember months ago when the little clock had 345 days till the wedding. Well, I looked yesterday and it said… 136 Days! Time is flying by but I still have lots of wedding planning to do [...]
Thanks to everyone for sharing your stress management tips! I definitely took some of your advice and had a relaxing (yet productive) weekend. New Orleans was soooo cold this past weekend in the 20s and 30s. It was the first time I took out my slippers all winter… Although I literally did not leave [...]
