The awful place

Yesterday I had to go back to that awful place.
Well, I guess it’s unfair to call the place itself awful… it’s just the things that have happened in my life around that place have been.
Let me take a step back.
In January 2001 I was at the movie theater with my then-boyfriend (not my now-husband, thank [...]

Didn’t you just love those photo booths that used to be in, like, every mall and movie theater!? We sure did. Here are the outcomes of three of those photo booth trips. I think these were all taken in either 1991 or 1992.
The first one is me (Jane), Audrey and Dad; the second is [...]

“Hey, sweetheart”

Ah, manners.
It is said that manners sweeten truth and add beauty to old age.
This is true. And in my experience, I have found this true of older gentlemen.
Now of course this statement does not discount the fine manners or matters of etiquette of younger men… but again, I speak from my own experience.
The [...]

This picture is from December 1994, and it’s (left to right) me (Jane), Mom, Dad and Audrey. It was taken before our high school Christmas dance, before our dates arrived to pick us up! Mom, could you have maybe suggested I put a little make-up on? Can you say “pasty white!?”

This next one is from [...]

It never ceases to amaze me just how small the world really is.
When I was a freshman in college, my friend Claire came to visit. She was a senior in high school at the time, lived in Boston and worked part-time at a coffee shop there.
We were hanging out in my dorm room when Bret, [...]

I’m on vacation this week and I forgot to scan pictures for Throwback Thursday before I left home! But I did have some old pictures that I had used for TT on my other blog (but never before used on this blog!), so rest assured, TT is still on.
This first photo is circa [...]

I know I’m probably in the minority here, but I absolutely love wrapping Christmas presents. It’s actually one of my favorite parts of the holiday.
I love looking at each present before I wrap it, thinking about what the recipient of the gift means to me, and smiling as I anticipate the look on his [...]

Three years ago today, on December 4, 2004, I became the wife of a wonderful, handsome, funny, brilliant, loving, incredible man.
We had planned our wedding in less than 5 months, knowing we wanted to get married in the winter, but that we didn’t want to wait a year and a half from the day we [...]

Cyrano de Bergerac.
One of my all-time favorite plays.
I remember in high school, during my senior year English class, we had to choose a play to dissect in front of our class.
My mother knew I was “obsessed” with love stories, so she recommended I read Cyrano de Bergerac.
It quite honestly changed my life.
I fell in [...]
