{image, my own} I just left the office to go on a short stroll during my lunch break. It’s my birthday week, and I’ve been wanting to get myself a gift (a-la “Independent Women” – I am slowly making my way through every single accomplishment in that song: shoes, clothes, rock, watch, house, car…!), … More Magical Moments
{image via} I have no idea why but Dean Martin’s “That’s Amore” has been stuck in my head for almost a week now. Where did I hear it? What did I watch? No clue. It’s so catchy and funny, though, I can’t help it. The opening line is my favorite: When a moon hits your … More That’s Amore.

{image via} There’s so much to catch up on and I find myself at a loss for where to begin.
