Like most women, I love shoes. In fact, I’ve devoted many posts to my love of heels. However, my feet seemed to be conspiring against me when a year ago they randomly grew a half size. Not only did I no longer fit into about 1/2 the pairs of shoes in my closet (believe me, [...]

Concerning? I think so!
Occasionally I check my WordPress Blog Stats to see which search terms lead people to my blog. What I discovered today was concerning to say the least. The term “diddling my little sister” not only led to Jennifer Beautiful Me Show, but it found its way to this post – She’s not so little anymore.
Sick, [...]

Lenten Promises
It’s that time of the year again – Ash Wednesday is once again upon us. With Ash Wednesday comes Lent – and that means I have to give up something fabulous that is very near and dear to my heart.
Last year I gave up soda – and believe me, it was quite difficult – but [...]

My Funny Valentine
Hope everyone had a fabulous Valentine’s Day. At the House of Usher every day is Valentine’s Day – meaning I expect to be treated like a princess on a daily basis (tongue firmly planted in cheek), but we did plan a nice dinner to ring in the holiday.

I called it – I’m that good
Yes, I know the Sex and the City: The Movie 2 trailer has been out for awhile. And yes, I am very excited to go see it in the theater the day it opens (May 28, 2010 in case anyone’s wondering). But there’s just one thing I forgot to say about the SATC2 trailer – [...]

Memories of Gaga

As you can imagine, I went to the Monster Ball Tour in San Francisco in early December. As expected Lady Gaga did not disappoint [...]

WIT & Whimsy re-post
I shared my new lotion obsession with WIT & Whimsy readers today, but I had to share the wealth over here. I have been using Archipelago’s Brown Sugar & Vanilla lotion for about two months and I am in love. My super-dry skin is resistant to most lotions – especially during the colder months – [...]

It’s almost over, but not just yet…
2009 has been a great year – we experienced weddings and engagements with great friends, Will and I went on many weekend getaways and we even celebrated our first wedding anniversary.
Rather than bore you with a long list of highlights – especially since most have already been captured here – I compiled some photos to [...]

Post Thanksgiving Thanks
Is Thanksgiving really over already?
We had a fabulous Thanksgiving dinner – and, for the first holiday ever – had (some of) the Ushers and the Manos’ under the same roof. My dad cooked dinner at our place and Will’s dad and littlest sister came to the house to join us. Also present were both sets [...]

Just When I Thought My 15 Minutes Was Over
I say that in jest, but I seem to be all over the place this week. Maybe I should go on hiatus more often, hmmm?
If you’re interested in hearing a bit more about my professional life, then you might want to check out the SHIFT Slice blog. I was interviewed this week about my client [...]
