What a Weekend (#sol17 26/31)
Well y'all, we have had an incredible weekend in Lexington. We've eaten delicious food and watched spectacular horsewoman accomplish some amazing feats. I'm just going to recap the highlights. The food. This year we did it right by choosing some awesome restaurants. On Thursday we ate at Pepe's. It wasn't special, just a Mexican restaurant,… Continue reading What a Weekend (#sol17 26/31)
The Remuda: A haiku (#sol17)
It's the Remuda: horses in all directions; I am in Heaven. As you may or may not know, I am at Road to the Horse in Lexington, Kentucky. On opening day, they run twelve mostly untouched colts into the arena who have journeyed from the 6666 Ranch in Texas. The horses run around to much… Continue reading The Remuda: A haiku (#sol17)
Shetland, My Love (#sol17 22/31)
Yesterday I shared some pictures and highlights from my last trip to Scotland. Today, I want to share some photos from the Shetland Islands. It is truly a GORGEOUS place, and if you're taking a trip to Scotland, you might as well go all the way! Brace yourself for a LOT of pictures. You can… Continue reading Shetland, My Love (#sol17 22/31)
Longing for Scotland (#sol17 21/31)
Lately I've been really wanting to go to Scotland. My husband and I went in 2010 and we planned to go back in 2015, but that didn't happen. Now my good friend really wants to go with me and I think it would be SO FUN. But, due to buying a new house, a trip… Continue reading Longing for Scotland (#sol17 21/31)
Bed Time (#sol17 24/31)
I love to sleep. I like to go to bed earlyish and get up earlyish (only because I have to). I'm kind of cranky if I don't get to bed early, if my sleep gets disturbed, or if I don't get enough sleep. I'm a light sleeper and it's hard for me to sleep in… Continue reading Bed Time (#sol17 24/31)
The vet (#sol17 20/31)
I'm sitting at the vet. I've been here for about half an hour now. I'm here everyday to pick up G from daycare (insert eye roll) but today he actually needed to be checked out by the vet. So here I am, waiting to talk to the doc himself. While I've been here I've seen… Continue reading The vet (#sol17 20/31)
Might Could (#sol17 18/31)
Yesterday I was helping a student with his essay. He was sitting at my whiteboard table which replaced my desk this year. I had my expo marker in hand and I was writing his argument. We needed to reword his premises. As I started to explain my ideas, I said "you might could change this… Continue reading Might Could (#sol17 18/31)
St. Paddy’s Day (#sol17 17/31)
My favorite St. Patrick's Day was spent in Chicago. The river was green. There were people everywhere. I was with my best friend and several other friends. I remember seeing the river. I remember seeing some of the parade. I remember being cold (I hadn't worn enough layers and the wind found its way through might… Continue reading St. Paddy’s Day (#sol17 17/31)

Thanks Elisabeth Ellington for this idea right when I needed it! Watching: The Crown (well, I finished it), New Girl, Modern Family, Big Bang Theory, Jane the Virgin, This is Us . (To be clear, I don't watch them ALL the time!) Listening: My Yo Yo Ma and Alasdair Frasier shuffle list on Pandora. Appreciating: My… Continue reading Currently (#sol17 16/31)
