WIU Week 2: Guilty Pleasures
What’s more of a Guilty Pleasure than yummy things and alcohol?
This weekend, I’m attending a pool party and knew that my signature sangria recipe was required. And then I wondered, what else goes great with sangria chocked with fruit? More alcohol-soaked fruit!
I got this recipe from my blog-friend (and soon to be BlogHer Roomie), Rhiannon…...
WIU Week 1: Holiday Favorites
So this week’s challenge suggestion was to create something that was reminiscent of a Holiday. July 4th being the obvious one, I thought back to the cookouts at my grandparents’ farm and the one thing that we always did: take turns at cranking the ice cream bucket.

My morning
I got really crappy sleep last night. I tossed and turned and had weird dreams that involved Bahamian vacations and talk of the US Virgin Islands with people I don’t know. I woke up at 6:30, blew off my gym appointment this morning (my neck is killing me) and fell back asleep. The next time I looked at the clock, it was 8:50. And my alarm was still going off from 7:30.
