LB, JB and I went to see 27 Dresses Friday night–and we all loved it. Katherine Heigl has so much going for her as an actress. She’s gorgeous in a “real girl” kind of way, wonderfully expressive, and has really excellent comic timing. And how stunning does she look at her own wedding to musician… Continue reading 2008 January | SIMA

Thursday was Sukkot, a Jewish holiday, so I didn’t have work. Instead I had two doctor’s appointments and an afternoon free to do some damage at the mall. I bought two pairs of shoes at DSW, including a pair of gold Coach loafers on sale from $119 to $48, and new makeup for Jess’s wedding… Continue reading 2007 September | SIMA

How many of you think this is Pink? Wrong! It’s Gwen Stefani. I also was fooled by the overly sculpted abs and bleach-blond hair. Not an attractive look for a woman. Day 3 on the (full-time) job. I’ve spent much of the past three days scurrying about — rearranging my office and consolidating markers and… Continue reading 2007 August | SIMA

J and I actually left NJ on Saturday around 11:30 AM and arrived in Omaha at 1:45 AM on Monday. Our 8-hour drive to Cleveland on Saturday was mostly uneventful — except for the periods of heavy downpour that made it nearly impossible to see the cars ahead of us on I-80. Though boring, I… Continue reading 2007 May | SIMA

I love to shop, and I love to receive gifts, so I didn’t anticipate how hard creating a registry would be. J and I spent nearly every night this past week browsing different online retailers getting ideas of what types of things we could get away asking for. We decided that this weekend we would… Continue reading 2007 April | SIMA

It was this Giclee print by LexyArt that inspired my blog’s new color scheme, and I just ordered it to hang in my office. I’m slowly starting to collect prints and photographs, mostly from Etsy, to create an eclectic wall of framed art. Hopefully I’ll be able to show you some “After” photos soon!

Last night, J and I dined on Papa John’s pizza, a homemade Caesar salad and a bottle of wine while watching “In Bruges” on HBO on Demand. It’s been on both of our “must see” lists–especially after Colin Farrell won a Golden Globe for his performance. Now that I’ve watched it, I definitely agree that… Continue reading in bruges | SIMA

I’m so excited for the debut of the new and improved Somewhere in Middle America! What do you think? I love it. A big thanks to Aaron C. and Abby B. for their help. I couldn’t have done it without you guys. Seriously. These past couple of weeks have been quite busy. J returned home… Continue reading My Thoughts | SIMA

Last Friday night we got a couple of inches of snow–much to the delight of Briscoe, who loved playing in it the next day. Briscoe sure does love snow. And that’s a good thing because we might get 6 inches of the white stuff. Inspired by a recent Craftstylish post on dog toys made out… Continue reading My Dog | SIMA
