Big Braves

For Heather... I wish you could have been there, even though the Braves lost!

A Day in the City

This past weekend, my father and my sister allowed me to tag along with them for my first IKEA experience. Dad was searching for a certain chair to test-nap, Mary was getting ideas for her soon-to-be new house, and I went for the sensory overload in organizational ideas.

My family handed me over to my boyfriend, so Dave and I headed out to CNN center to kill time before the final Thrashers game of the season. After realizing that there wasn't enough time to brave the lines for either the World of Coke or the Aquarium, we wandered through Centennial Olympic Park and found the Treleven brick.

It was a gorgeous day to spend out and about, as you can see by the late afternoon and evening pictures of Atlanta below.

Good Friday

Mind the Ditch

I was very proud of myself this morning... I left the house earlier than usual, had enough time to swing into my favorite grocery store for a few needed items, and was on the last stretch of road to get to work. Then I saw brake lights.

Do you see the trail of leaves and mud behind the little red car? The whole right side was folded under, and there are leaves all up in the bumper from when it was being yanked out of the ditch if you look closely...

I am thankful that it was not my car that tried off-roading. And if I had to be late to work this morning because of a traffic snafu, at least I had third-row seats so I could take a picture and blog about it!

Cool Yarn

HistoryDiva and LibraryDiva found "cool" yarn during one random trip to Hobby Lobby early last fall. The orange skeins became a "cool" ribbed scarf for HistoryDiva's birthday back in October (and finished on time, I might add). The purple skeins became a six foot long mega-scarf in garter stitch for LibraryDiva's belated birthday present this past weekend.

Layla's New BFF

Dave quickly figured out how to keep Layla entertained...
