Pet peeve of the week

I’m annoyed this week about people that cannot park or refuse to park between the lines. I can’t stand it! It seems that everywhere I go lately, there are at least 2-3 cars parked this way next to an empty spot making it impossible for me to park there.

This pic is from last night. The car next to this car is parked the same way because they had no choice. It drives me nuts!

Spring jackets

With the new season upon us, it was only fitting that I get a new spring jacket (or two ;). The Gap had some great sales along with a coupon a few weeks ago and I ordered two jackets and love them.

Belted Trench in Mineral Green

This is such a nice shade of green and very neutral. I can wear it with a ton of outfits.

Lined Mac Jacket in Motorcross Khaki

Comfortable and classic.

Chase & Mandy's day at the groomer

Yesterday, hubby dropped Chase & Mandy off at Poochies our new grooming salon. This is the first time we have gone to them because we heard they do a great job. I got home last night and have never seen the dogs look better, cleaner or cuter. They each had ribbons on their ears and collars. Blue for Chase and pink for Mandy! They really looked adorable.

I thought I would share some before and after pictures:

Six Month Anniversary

We’re halfway to our first anniversary as husband and wife! It’s truly amazing how the time flies. At this point, I’m used to (and loving) calling Geof my husband. I am used to the fact that I’m a wife and still getting used to my new last name. I cannot think of anything better than the security and comfort I feel having Geof by my side. He is my best friend, my biggest supporter and we’re a team. I have faith that our relationship will always be solid and that we will love each other unconditionally for the rest of our lives.

Here are some more pictures from our special day!

Sexy Sisters!

Sister is another word for friend.
Sisters are blossoms in the garden of life.
Sisters are forever!

The lovely BLC at The Company She Keeps has presented me with the Sisterhood Award. If you haven’t, you must run right over to her blog. She is so sweet and fun! This award means so much and I am overjoyed at the friends I’ve made through the blog community.

I’m blushing because I was also given the Sexy Blogger Award by MRM at Prep in the Big Apple. I recently started reading her blog and she is a sweetheart! I love reading about her favorite fashion finds and dating stories.

With this award, I have to list 5 sexy things about myself. This is hard, because I don't particularly think of myself as being sexy but here goes.

1) I am a great baker and can make yummy treats.
2) My smile/teeth. I consider myself lucky that I never had to get braces and have nice teeth.
3) My personality. I think I’m pretty outgoing and I consider that a positive attribute.
4) I don’t smoke.
5) I’m adventurous and up for anything.

I pass this along to:

Confessions of a Control Freak
Good Gals Inc.
My Chihuahua Bites!

New favorite food finds

South Beach Living Fiber Fit S'mores bars

If you like chocolate, marshmallow and graham - this is the bar for you! It is so delicious and filling. It has 9 grams of fiber per bar and is only 2 Weight Watchers points. They hardly had any left on the shelf when I went. I was able to snag the last 2 boxes. This is a great snack for when I'm craving something sweet and need that feeling of being full.

Silk Soymilk Chocolate flavor in single-serve boxes


I bought a case of these at BJ's and cannot believe the rich chocolate taste. It's very satisfying and delicious. This would make a perfect afternoon snack and it reminds me of Yoo-hoo. One of these is 3 Weight Watchers points.
