I finished Pat Conroy’s South of Broad this week and, as expected, it was a complete work of art. The story was wonderful, but the true beauty of this book was in Conroy’s amazing descriptions of Charleston, the characters and of their relationships with one another.
When I put the book down, I felt an almost […]

Saw this chair on Target.com and it called to me. It’s so, so…ME. I love it. There is no where in my house that I could put it, even if I could afford the $150 price tag and even if I didn’t have the suspicion that a Target chair would fall apart given as much […]

–Katherine goes in for a CT Scan tomorrow to check out her sinuses, to find out why she can’t get rid of the sniffles/infections. Not too worried but not thrilled about having to put her through it. I explained that the scan will be like the X-ray she took of her leg when she broke […]

I grabbed a $4.99 Jonathan Kellerman paperback at Wal-Mart last week and have enjoyed cruising through it. It’s an intelligent crime story, […]

Yum, yum, yum. Naan is an Indian flatbread ( think pita bread). I keep reading about it as a delicious, high-fiber replacement for pizza crust and tried it today. I bought the whole wheat kind, toasted it lightly, then topped it with a few slices of smoked mozzarella, sliced tomatoes, and sauteed mushrooms and green […]

Check out Katherine’s modeling debut on my friend Paula’s website: Click here.
We bought some of Paula’s beautiful handmade magnets with antique buttons and have repurposed some of them as hairclips for Katherine. Paula is uber-crafty, like my friend Tonya, and I would be super jealous of her if she weren’t so darn nice. Oh, who […]
