For almost 6 years now I have enjoyed living alone in my cozy little apartment. The nice thing about where I lived was the fact that several long-time friends from junior high and high school lived there as well. It was a regular ‘ol Melrose Place. Today I said farewell. Although it was just a...

Tar-jjjay
Doesn’t this make you want to die your hair red and take up ballet? It does for me!
SCORE!
Remember the cinnamon rolls I mentioned previously? The yummiest, softest, yeastiest, glaze-covered cinnamon rolls EVER? No? Allow me to remind you. I just scored the recipe from the restaurant.
Cleaning
I still have to clean my cleaning cupboard. Is that an oxymoron? I think you get what I mean. Cleaning the last of the dregs in a home is just about the worst thing ever. Except maybe having rabies, or lice or something. I tried to finish off the kitchen, bathroom and laundry room Monday...
Aisles. Alters. Husbands.
“Someone once said that when the wedding march begins, a bride sees three things—the aisle, the altar, and him—and from that time on her motto is: ‘I’ll alter him.’” Let it be known that I do not subscribe to or intend to subscribe to this philosophy. I just thought the play on words was clever....
Mini Donuts
Wouldn’t this be so much fun to have? If it made yeast donuts instead of cake, I would put this on my Christmas Wish-List for sure. It doesn’t hurt that they are miniature size; I love almost anything mini like this.And I love Williams-Sonoma! I’m thinking of getting a Holiday job there, just for fun.

CHICAGO:Day 2
(Original title, no?) Today started with a yummy little brunch place that Liz had been wanting to try. To start, we went with the ‘fruishi’–strawberry rice with bananas and coconut rice with pineapple & mango. Tasty! For the main dish, there were several delicious sounding dishes, so rather than choosing, we split three: omelet with...
First things first
When you think of Chicago, the skyline and deep dish pizza probably come to mind. So of course that is what we had to do on our first night in the Windy City (and yes, it really is windy!). Rather than pay $15 to go up to the observatory deck of the Sears Tower, Liz...
The Chicago School
Why, oh why, does the good Lord not make this decision-making process just a smidge easier for me? Yesterday I had my appointment with the admissions department at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. Of all the campuses I have visited, this one wins hands down for both location (see below–in the middle of downtown,...
