« Previous EntriesPeek into our garden
Wednesday, June 4th, 2008Well, it’s a busy week. This coming weekend is the NextStep pig pickin’ - in which Oak roasts a 150-pound porker for consumption by 300 hungry IBMers. Needless to say, all of the purchasing and preparations are in high gear.
So, instead of leaving you hanging, I present you with some shots from our […]
The origin of everyone’s favorite wiggly dessert
Thursday, May 15th, 2008Apparently this is my week of nostalgic blog entries. So, in 4th grade, I played the Jell-o girl in our “History of LeRoy” play at Wolcott Street Elementary School. Because of this important acting role (my only roles in plays were in my elementary days.. sigh), I felt it was my responsibility to share […]
Thanksgiving oh-seven
Wednesday, December 5th, 2007So, we had a nice relaxing Thanksgiving this year, and I finally have the photo evidence up. What wasn’t photographed was the amazing stuffing that we made from the November 2007 issue of Everyday food - nice and simple, made out of Oak’s homemade ciabatta bread. Yum.
Later that evening we went to see Fred Claus […]
New digital camera
Wednesday, September 12th, 2007Well, my trusty Fuji FinePix A303 that I received as a graduation gift from my aunt and uncle bit the dust. She led a full and happy life, accompanying me on many trips and I’ve posted many photos and printed many photos on DotPhoto with her. It just scared me when I realized that the […]
Tangerine cafe and birthday booty
Tuesday, July 24th, 2007Doesn’t this logo match well with my current layout? Ding! On Sunday we went to Tangerine Cafe
with Alex and 3 out of 5 of the “605 crew” to celebrate my birthday. The interior was curiously also painted the same colors as our living room and kitchen. I wonder if they’ve come to […]
We’re married!
Thursday, April 6th, 2006 In celebration of our marriage, Oak is going to be contributing to the carrievision.com weblog, as you see below in his declaration of his fondness for wedding confections.
We’re close to celebrating our one-month anniversary - March 8th, we were married on the beach on Paradise Island in the Bahamas. We had a great […]
Valentines day surprises
Tuesday, February 14th, 2006Oak was very tricky with the Valentine’s day this year. First of all, I now smell chic, sexy, and mysterious due to my new Paris Hilton perfume.
As if that were not enough, I was told to be home from work by 5:30 for a surprise - Oak made reservations for Valentines day dinner […]
The dental drama is over (for now)
Wednesday, January 11th, 2006I never summarized my dental experiences over the past couple weeks. Well, the wisdom teeth extraction was relatively painless, considering my teeth were erupted (apparently a large factor), and the fact that I was under total sedation for the entire surgery. The sedation part was hot, and I definitely recommend it to anyone […]
Santa meets the tooth fairy
Saturday, December 10th, 2005They kicked up the holiday potluck this year with not one, but two giant inflatable snowmen. Since you already know about my aversion to large blow-up holiday lawn decor, imagine my dismay upon seeing these creatures attacking Cube town. Oh dear! Luckily they exited the building by the end of the day. […]
No snow here yet
Thursday, December 1st, 2005Being that it’s December first, I realized that it is offically now not summer anymore. That could be argued, though, since the temperatures are still hitting the mid 60s here.
Either way, I decided it was no longer time to drink spiked lemonade and instead at least consider something somewhat wintery. Though, you all […]
