So in the 3 days into 2012 we’ve gotten, I’ve managed to eat less sugar (yes!) and exercise 2/3. Yesterday we spent the day up at Keystone mountain skiing, and while I may have cried the ...
Adam and I had a lovely Christmas yesterday. We certainly got some great gifts and enjoyed a trip to see Sherlock Holmes and a Packers win. This is our first real Christmas together in the US –...
Hello darlings! Sorry for the hiatus, but now that our wedding, the holidays, and two OTHER weddings are behind us, I have more free time! And to celebrate, I’m sharing a Christmas present with...
Tonight I went to a social media marketing and SEO class held by Stellar Marketing Solution‘s founder Kelly Noble and SEO guru Hunter Willis. The class was focused on business applications, but...
One of the biggest parts to planning a wedding is writing the ceremony (duh, that’s the part where you get married!). That was our big project this weekend, and I managed to edit it down to onl...
40 days seems like a lot to y’all, but to me it’s a nap. Just think how Josh Hartnett felt when he gave up sex for Lent: 40 days is a long time. Especially when you spend yo...
Planning a wedding takes a lot out of you. Sarah’s quote today is ”Chains do not hold a marriage together. It is the threads, tiny hundreds of threads which sew people together thr...
Yesterday we got our first mailed RSVPs! Our invitations went out last Friday from the Denver Airport, and technically best man Hardy’s parents were the first to RSVP via our wedding website, w...
Today, REM announced they were breaking up. It just so happens this coincides with #86: August 10th is Duran Duran Day. I won’t say I have a favorite R.E.M. or Duran Duran song, I don’t h...
I have a few confessions to make. We are 44 days out from our wedding (as of the 21st) and I have only done 68 of the 117 things on my WeddingWire to do list. I have not done any of the craft/DIY pro...
There are only 64 days left until we get married. For our friends and family, that means booking flights, picking out ties and dresses, and planning hotels with room to party. For us, it means the 63...
Ok, so I tried to move this blog to Blogger, and it didn’t work. I’m sorry for the confusion, but it’s been a busy few months. Here’s my new plan. This blog, that I love and h...
Dear Friends, In an effort to reboost my blog, I’m moving to Blogger. Bookmark my new page http://thepeonypapers.blo gspot.com/, but http://thepeonypapers.com/ will take you to my new page too! ...
The last few days have been interesting. We’re under 40 days left until elections, which means just over 40 days until I leave for China. Work is sporadically getting busier, and I am slowly ex...
So I’m sorry for the hiatus. Again. I really need to get my act together and stop apologizing. Ok, I’m not sorry I took 3 weeks off blogging. I needed a break and something to inspire me....
So here I am on the last holiday of summer at work. I will be the first to admit, just as I struggle to get up in the morning, I am struggling with this blog. I am not a creature of habits. Brushing ...
Lately, I’ve seen this photo popping up around the web: Photo source. and was happy to find an article on Shine from Yahoo! about these futuristic heels. Designed by Polly Verity, I hope this m...
I wanted to share a few fun links today from across the web. The first is an interesting event blog called The Pink Toast. You can read about Danielle’s Bat Mitzvah in 5 installments, but here&...
With Labor Day just around the corner, one of the summer’s last opportunities to pull out the bar-be-que is almost here. I found this great list of grilling tips from NYT’s The Minimalist...
I’ll admit, I’ve never been very athletic. I love participating in heart-healthy activities, but I hate going alone, and forget about working out while I’m on vacation (thank you 5 ...
The other day, I stumbled across this great little site: Bembo’s Zoo. As you can see from this image, the creator builds animals on your screen from the letters in their name. I love E elephant...
Birthdays are an interesting creature. Mine is in November, which means it’s cold, probably raining, but not cold enough to snow – when fun can be had outside. I used to envy all those la...
It’s been a few weeks since we’ve had a newscap, so here are the gems from the office this week: Monday: A very international news day. In Australia, an Aboriginal elder led police toR...
I love finding good articles to share again, and normally I’m a fan of paraphrasing. But this one is just too good, so it’s going on in its entirety. I did add a few photos to make things...
For those of you who may not be on the J.Crew email list, or for those of you who may have deleted the email before opening it (we’re all guilty), here’s your code for an extra 30% off at...
I thought it would be a nice, mid-week break to put together some easy DIY spa treatments. Pull out your kitchen cabinet, a DVD of Pride and Prejudice (I just got the Kiera Knightly version in the ma...
This summer has definitely been a big one for romance. In June, a classmate of mine Andrea got married in Greensboro, and yesterday Southern Weddings posted photos of her wedding shot by Abigail Seym...
So I wanted to apologize for my hiatus the last few days. I’ve been in a blogging nap, both from lack of inspiration and from being busy in real life (sort of). Here is a mini life-update: Frid...
I’ve seen quite a bit going around lately not about people finding creative ways to get hired, but about using innovation to quit. Yesterday a Jet Blue flight attendant exited an argument with ...
Thanks to TrèsSugar, I have two really fun features to share with you. The first is their Summer Reading List: 20 Smart Chick-Lit Novels. I’ve read several of these titles including Lipstick Ju...
