New Book!

After catching a recent episode of Oprah, my occasional girly-splurge-of-the-day, I learned of this book, the latest installment from the dynamic duo of Dr. Oz & Dr. Roizen, and I just had to have it. It's called
YOU: Being Beautiful - I am 97 pages in, and really diggin it. It's a great blend of science, factoids, health, humor, and beauty tips. I will definitely be trying some of these home remedies out, and looking forward to sharing a tip or two along the way.

Oh! And it's getting cold out! Perfect weather for staying in with a book & a cup of my new favorite instant beverage, mocha cappuccino.
Mmmm...what a combo. :-)

Hotel

Getting ready to go out for REI, dinner, and the concert.
Good times!

Outdoors + Live Music = Bliss

We spent the weekend in Atlanta and saw David Byrne at Chastain Park Amphitheater. The music was great and weather was beyond perfect, which made the experience even better.

Too Much Togetherness

How could this be possible, you might ask? :-)

Now, don't get me wrong - I love my hubby and I love to share nearly everything with him. But he is being much too generous lately, and has passed his germy bugs right on to me. Not only have I never had a cold in the summer, but my symptoms have now officially outlasted his. It's just enough to be annoying, and it seems we have had exactly the same thing, whatever it is.

It all starts out with a little tickle in the throat, followed by a full-blown sore throat, then sniffles complete with a simultaneously stuffy and runny nose. Lovely, huh?

Ick. Blah.

On a happier tone - today was a good day. J's iPhone arrived in all its glory, and it is just as amazing as we expected. Worth the wait to get the best one, for sure. I went shopping with my mom, my aunt successfully completed her first chemo treatment, my grandmother won a quarter playing bingo (too cute!), and we celebrated Sarah's birthday in style at the yummy Bonefish Grill. See - I can't complain forever when I am this fortunate :-)
