stolen quote

“The great thing with unhappy times is to take them bit by bit, hour by hour, like an illness. It is seldom the present, the exact present, that is unbearable. Remember one is given strength to bear what happens to one, but not the 100 and 1 different things that might happen.”

C.S. Lewis, Letter to An American Lady

passing by

So, I just realized that we took 0 pictures of our apartment at Christmas, 0 pictures of our cute little Christmas tree with our 1st year ornaments on it and the happy little train going around it, 0 pictures of us at Christmastime (other than the family pictures up in Ohio). How sad is that? We will have to go on our failing memories for everything having to do with our 1st Christmas. The way our memories are going I think we're going to be in trouble.


Not our Christmas tree.

yogurt & granola

I have a new love. Don't worry. Ben isn't in trouble. My new love is yogurt and granola. You know how you can buy the Yo-Crunch that has it all nicely packaged for you? Yeah. That costs way too much for me. I decided to come up with my own snazzy packaging so that I could take it to work with me. I bought the big container of strawberry yogurt at the grocery. (I usually buy Yoplait, but they were out of it the other day, so I bought the Wal-Mart brand. I actually really like it! It has strawberry pieces in it.) I then went to Publix because it is the only place that I've found granola. They have it with the nuts in the produce section. I then took my wonderful "prep bowls" from Pampered Chef (To get some of your own Pampered Chef "Prep Bowls" click HERE to go to my friend, Jenifer's page.)


I filled the bowl up to the 1/2 cup mark to leave room the granola.


I added the granola.


I ate a tasty treat. (And did it inexpensively!)

Still over here

Ok, so I haven't actually set up this blog. You can still find me here:

tardy (or Heather should have posted something by now!)

Yes, yes. I know. It has been a month since the wedding. I should have posted something by now. I haven't. I haven't wanted to touch the computer when I get home from work. I will post something of a little more substance later, but for now, here is a picture from the wedding:
