A 70th Birthday Outing at Longfellow's Wayside Inn

Care for a Coow Woow anyone? If you are so inclined, you can swing by Longfellow's Wayside Inn and try one. It's allegedly the first ever mixed drink! Think white rum and brandy - it packs a major punch.   My mother chose Longfellow's Wayside Inn as the celebration spot for the big seven-zero. It is the country's oldest operating inn and the grounds have a chapel, barn, old school house...

Home Made: Four Ingredient Pineapple-Colada Sorbet

Yum. During the summer I love a fresh, creamy treat that cools me right from the inside out. This sorbet is a tropical island in a tiny cup. Pour some dark, sweet rum over the top and this treat would be pushed right over the edge. Pineapples, coconut, and lime.  Goodness. This yummy summer dessert only requires four ingredients: 1 Whole, Fresh Pineapple 1/2 Cup Coconut Milk 1/4...

Why Work Friends Kick Ass

That right there readers is a big fishbowl. A big fishbowl of alcohol. And those people there with me (I'm the one in the black and white stripes) are a few of my very best work friends. Growing up I always had a really close knit group of girl friends (don't get me started on the "guy's girls"- i'll leave that for another day). We shared everything with each other. Literally everything - sex...

A Book to Read: The Goldfinch

I was an English major in college. I'm sure that horrifies some of you due to the quality of my grammar. I send my deepest apologies to each and every one of my college professors. I didn't choose English because I wanted a career writing or teaching. I chose the subject of English simply because I love a good book. I love a book at wakes up your imagination and touches a place deep in your soul...

Delicious Ambiguity

Surprisingly, this post is going to be about yoga. Please do your very best to bear with me while I get there. I am a big Saturday Night Live fan. Therefore, I am also a Gilda Radner fan. Any chick that is funny, goofy, intelligent and soulful is one that I would most definitely like to chill with. Gilda was an exceptionally insightful woman and I think of this quote when I think of her, “I...

Travel Diary: Kaua'i

This past weekend I took a day trip up to the beautiful coast of Maine to enjoy the early summer weather with my husband and my parents. As we crossed into Cape Neddick we stopped for a late lunch at a small restaurant that hugged the very edge of a salt water marsh. We perched ourselves on the roof deck and, as we sat under the sun and felt the cool, salty ocean breeze on our skin; my husband...

Friends of the Opposite Sex

Can men and women be friends? This is such an age old question and has popped up in so many conversation's I've been having lately. I am a 31 year old married, successful woman. I have male coworkers and acquaintances that I speak with every single day. Yet, I feel like there is still an active dialog about whether or not real, true friendship can occur.  If you ask my husband this question,...
