Hot Then You're Cold

My blogging has been as schizophrenic as this weather... 
Last Friday we saw a couple inches of snow.  Since it was cold and icy my roommates and I decided to stay in and make pizza.
 My pizza is on the  left. I used lots and lots of shredded mozzarella, some chunks of fresh buffalo mozzarella (be…

This n' That Thursday

This: Yesterday I tried curling my hair with a flat iron. I've seen/heard people raving about this method for a while now and after watching a tutorial video over at The Shine Project I figured I would give it a try. First attempt... not so bad. It's good for relaxed waves and I liked the l…

3 Things

I needed a pick-me-up after work so I headed to the mall and got three things that made me smile.

1. New flannel from Urban Outiftters.
2. Big bag of candy (my love language)
3. Chick-Fil-A

I came home from the mall and changed out of my work clothes which included my new ankle pants from Loft (tha…

Well...

It's been a long couple of days. My mom got to town last Tuesday and left on Sunday. I had so many fun things planned. Brunch at my favorite brunch spot, a trip to the Newseum since neither of us have been before, shopping and sightseeing and dinners out and lots of talking.

Of course plans ch…

Wednesday Hodgepodge

I figured I should definitely participate this week since the host of the hodgepodge is staying at my house...  1. Lake Superior University has once again published a list of words/phrases they think should be banished from the Queen's English...fiscal cliff, kick the can down the road, double …

Random Weekend Recap

I had a really low key weekend. Both of my roommates were gone for most of it- one for work (she's a PA in the ER and works a lot of nights) and the other was in Disney World (I'm mad at her).  So it was just me, myself, and I this weekend.

On Saturday I woke up and went to ballet class. It…

Let It Snow

Let it snow was the theme of our "Wine & Cheese" at work last night.  Actually I'd prefer if it didn't snow... there are rumors of 60 degree weather this weekend and that is fine with me.

Sadly I'm sure these warmer days are just a tease, I don't think winter is going…

Shallow End

Yesterday's post was a little new for me. I like to think that I'm pretty open and honest about my heart on here. But yesterday I felt particularly vulnerable and exposed. It's a good thing. It's good to share the deep things in your head and wrapped around your heart and I loved th…

Strong

It was Friday, on the metro home from work, and I'm listening to music like I always do on my commute.

The first line of the song's chorus sings "Be strong in the Lord." And with that I'm crying.
On the metro and up the escalator to my car.  I finish the song and I start writ…

3 Years Old

I completely forgot my blogging birthday! I started this blog 3 years ago on January 1st, 2010. I'm excited to see where this little blog goes in 2013! Happy birthday Sincerely Shannon! {source}

What I've Been Reading & A Link Up

#76. Read 1 book a month-more if possible, keep a record of books read each month. (6/33)

I have been reading a lot but I have not, however, been very good about keeping a record.

I posted what I read in July, August, and September.

And now I'm playing catch-up and sharing a recap of what I r…

About that list I made...

I haven't made any New Year's resolutions for 2013. I simply want to have a fabulous year! I want it to be memorable for good reasons, not for heart break. I plan to make the most of this year instead of just letting it happen to me. And I'm not going to let the inevitable plans I make …
