7 Hours In Aruba
We honeymooned from 6/25 – 7/7 in Bonaire, South America.. it’s a small island that is part of the Dutch Antilles. (Part of the “ABC” islands: Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao). It was really a beautiful trip. We started out in Newark and flew direct to Aruba, where we had a 7 hour layover. In those 7 hours, we rented a car and drove around the little island of Aruba (it took us all of 20 minutes to make a round trip, I swear) and found a very nice (read: air conditioned) place to stop and lunch. (note: we didn’t find […]

In the Celtic tradition, there is a beautiful understanding of love and friendship.

I think it’s the 3 Benadryl’s with a Martini chaser that gets me through. As nervous as I am about flying, I’m excited and really looking forward to this thing. I get to buy a round of drinks for Peter, […]
Be Mine
This new pinkness is the extent of my celebration of the ‘overly commercialized day of the year when you are supposed to let the ones you love know how much you love them, because doing it the other 364 days a year just isn’t good enough‘ holiday – otherwise known as Valentine’s Day. Oooo.. do I sound jaded? A girl with, perhaps, too few valentine’s in her life? Nah. When everyday is valentine’s day – who needs a card on Feb 14th? The pinkness here on this blog is my valentine to you – those who stop by on a […]
