Key West (2002)
(This blog is a repost from an old Travel Blog) A couple of months before I met Jeremy, I was selected to go on a 2-week TDY to Key West, Florida. I didn’t want to go. My suprevisor wanted to put my name in for it since I had never been on a TDY, but I’m not a water girl so the thought of spending … Continue reading Key West (2002)
Sunny Morning Mood Buster Playlist
It’s been a minute since I posted a playlist! I am slowly migrating all my old ones to a new platform (Spotify) That is a problem with older blogs…sharing platforms upgrade or become obsolete so then we must go through and either update or archive old posts. Which is where I am at now. If you find a broken link in here (of which there … Continue reading Sunny Morning Mood Buster Playlist

Giethoorn, Netherlands
Giethoorn is quaint little “water village” snuggled between National Parks and nature preserve in North-Central Netherlands. I first learned this charming locale existed after we moved to Germany. I knew we had to visit since we were so close! So this was our fist “out of town” overnight trip since moving here, and it was just what the doctor ordered! I was feeling a … Continue reading Giethoorn, Netherlands

Mood Music: Playlist
I’m a very moody music listener. Not that I listen to moody music (although I do, sometimes), but that my taste in music changes all the time. I go through phases. Maybe it’s based on what’s good at the moment. Or maybe it changes based on what I’m going through in life at the moment. Who knows! I listened to nothing but country music for … Continue reading Mood Music: Playlist
Rainbow Cupcakes with Rainbow Sprinkles
I have been seeing a lot of rainbow cupcakes lately. And with tomorrow being St. Patrick’s Day, I thought it was the perfect time to try them! I used this Rainbow Cupcake recipe from Dinner, then Dessert as a guideline. I saw a new cake mix at the store so decided to try it. Along with the new frosting mix. Making it semi-homemade was convenient for me, … Continue reading Rainbow Cupcakes with Rainbow Sprinkles
SHARK vs DYSON Showdown!
Who is thinking about jumping on the Shark bandwagon? Who is already on the bandwagon? Who did not even know there was a bandwagon? I am in a cleaning discussion on social media and the Shark vacuums have been all the rage! Everyone (it seems) swears by them! They even beat out Dyson (apparently)! People post pictures of what their Shark vacuum picked up after … Continue reading SHARK vs DYSON Showdown!
