Yesterday morning, J and I participated in a couple’s yoga workshop at Lotus House of Yoga. The instructor played a mix of romantic tracks while we pulled one another deeper into stretches, (literally) leaned on each other during balancing poses and, at the end, meditated on the melt-in-your-mouth magic of Lindor Truffles. Her selection of… Continue reading Extracurricular Activities | Somewhere in Middle America

When we bought our house, I quickly claimed the smallest bedroom for my office. In our apartment, my husband and I split the extra room down the middle and each had our desks and computers in it. My desk was a child-sized hand-me-down, so I did most of my computer work while sitting on the… Continue reading 2009 April | Somewhere in Middle America

I swear, there has never been a dog kissed and cuddled and as much as Briscoe was on Thanksgiving. What a spoiled little puppy! My family took approximately 786 photos of Briscoe yesterday. Here are three that I took with my camera of Briscoe playing with a new toy from his Auntie Robin. How delish… Continue reading 2008 November | Somewhere in Middle America

Dear Jason, I just looked at your tour schedule and was disappointed to learn that you won’t be coming to Omaha this Fall.  However, you’ll be going to BOISE, ID???  Seriously?  Not that I have anything against Boise or Idaho, but BOISE, ID? Omaha is very upset by this news. Love, PJ (image source) My… Continue reading 2008 September | Somewhere in Middle America

A couple of loyal readers recently told me how much they used to enjoy the links I would post on Fridays, so I decided to bring back my weekly “Link Up” feature. Happy reading! A campfire treat gets even more indulgent. (via you are my fave) From the curly hair to the studded shoes, she… Continue reading link up | Somewhere in Middle America

In honor of the new month, I decided it was time to change up my banner. A fresh start, you know? It was created by the super talented (and super adorable) Lisa Toff. Like it? Happy September, everyone!

First there was a daffodil. Now we have a tulip. I suppose I should start calling what we’ve got going in front of the house a garden, as the definition of a garden is “a plot of ground, usually near a house, where flowers, shrubs, vegetables, fruits, or herbs are cultivated.” I always considered plant… Continue reading in the garden of daffodils and tulips | Somewhere in Middle America

Friday night a group of us celebrated a friend’s birthday by drinking like we were back in college and then playing hours of Rock Band at her place after leaving the bar. There’s nothing quite like being intoxicated and jumping around on your friend’s sofa while rocking out on bass. For us Rock Band and… Continue reading keep calm and rock on | Somewhere in Middle America

I adore these vases from Feinedinge, which means “fine thing” in German. Ceramist Sandra Haischberger handcrafts these pieces in her Vienna studio. (via More Ways to Waste Time) Beware of phony CNN email alerts. I actually have a bunch of them in my Spam folder right now. I’m so glad I didn’t open them; they… Continue reading friday round-up | Somewhere in Middle America

Britains Got Talent This video clip from Britain’s Got Talent proves that you can’t judge a book by its cover and that everybody deserves a fair shot. Watch the whole thing with sound (it goes quickly) and tell me if you didn’t get a bit choked up by Susan Boyle’s performance. PS: I don’t know… Continue reading she had a dream | Somewhere in Middle America
