Exactly one month from today I'll be boarding a plane to meet Brian in Spain! Hotels are booked and itinerary is filling in, can't wait!

Nights 1 & 2 - Hotel Arts Barcelona

Nights 3 & 4 - AC Hotel Palau de Bellavista (Girona)

Night 5 & 6 - Dios Esta Bien (Peniscola)
I can already tell this one is going to be my favorite, for all it's charm! We get a balcony too!

It certainly must mean you've hit a certain point in your life when a new dishwasher gets you excited. Seriously? Yep. We just had this lovely installed today and I "won" the stainless battle vs Brian's arguments that we could put in an all black one, even though our fridge and stove are stainless. It helped that our friend Megan also backed me when asked, stainless vs black. It's all about the future re-sale and catering to what a buyer is going to be looking for. She knows, they just bought a place. So, Megan and Amanda vs. Brian won out.

Anyway, to his credit, the fridge and stove do have black accents (mostly due to the restrictions in size and therefore options because of the builders of the house- that's a whole other story though). So, this new dishwasher also has the "matching" black accents. Here's to hoping that we no longer have to practically wash the dishes before putting them in there, and that everything comes out clean and spot free on the first try. They should, because of course Brian never buys anything without doing his due diligence and researching the heck out of it. Consumer Reports guru. Ugh, I sound so old and boring, talking about a dishwasher on my blog!

"All" that's left in the kitchen is a new hood/microwave combo, new light fixtures (this is actually a whole house project that will likely start in the kitchen/dining) and new tile floor.... stay tuned later this Spring, perhaps. Of course counters/sink/faucet would be lovely, but not on the "soon to do" list by any means. We're thinking the wood tile route, which I really like (for kitchen, foyer, and bath actually). Brian gave his nod of approval when looking at pictures of it, but I have to be honest when I say I have no idea the cost of said tile. At least our spaces are relatively small, which will help my "case."

Bubba's Jambalaya

2012-02-21T19:31:00.000-07:00

Brian whipped up a tasty jambalaya this evening. It was the first time we've ever tried this recipe and it was a winner for sure. We modified the sausages a bit so I revised the original recipe for our modifications, below. My only suggestion was more bacon next time, because who doesn't love bacon?! I liked the flavor and crisp it gave. I also said I could forgo the chicken but he didn't think so.

Ingredients

6 slices bacon, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 cup chopped celery
1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 onion, chopped
1/2 pound cubed cooked ham
1/2 pound cubed cooked chicken
2 Andouille sausages, sliced into small pieces
1 Spicy Italian sausage, sliced into small pieces
2 (14.5 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes, with liquid
2 cups beef broth
2 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
2 cups uncooked white rice
~~1/2 pound salad shrimp~~ (we did not include this as I do not like shrimp)

Directions

Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Add bacon, and cook until crisp. Remove bacon pieces, and set aside. Add celery, bell pepper, and onion to the bacon drippings, and cook until tender.
Add the ham, chicken and sausage to the pot, and pour in the tomatoes, beef broth and chicken broth. Season with thyme and Cajun seasoning. Bring to a boil, and add the rice. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes, until the rice is tender.
Stir in the ~~shrimp and~~ bacon just before serving, and heat through. ~~If you use uncooked shrimp, let it cook for about 5 minutes before serving.~~

Ceiling Medallions

2012-02-20T18:54:00.000-07:00

Ceiling Medallions as wall art, as pictured in March 2012 Better Homes & Gardens. Not the first time I've seen this idea and I plan on implementing it around here sometime soon- including the grass mat background as well. These were given the antiqued finish with brown shoe polish. Medallions and grass mat pinned here and console table here.

Things That Make Me Smile on This Friday Afternoon!

2012-02-17T15:39:00.000-07:00

1. Getting the results of a mole biopsy just a few hours ago and even though the Dr. said "this looks fine," when removing, actually hearing the results and knowing everything is OK! Phew!

2. Having Brian back in town and heading to The Med for a dinner date.

3. These new boots. An investment piece for certain.

4. Hanging bedroom curtains last night. Yaaaaay! More to come on that soon.

5. It's Ries's 5th Birthday today. She doesn't know any different and continues to sleep the day away, per usual. As I cuddled up to her warm little 10 pound self this morning, I whispered Happy Birthday and she wiggled away and burrowed under the covers. I guess her method of celebrating is sleeping longer than usual.

6. World-class customer service from West Elm last night. Related to the curtains and a wrong shipment, credit, no charge, etc. I never in a million years dreamed it would have been as easy and accommodating as it was. I'm a sucker for places with amazing customer service and they blew me out of the water.

7. Booking hotels for Spain this weekend. Lots of discussions and excitement!

8. A Girls Night Out tomorrow. Always a good time!

9. My sweet brother buying my Mom flowers for Valentine's Day. He's such a good guy!

10. Dave Matthews Band touring again this summer! Already on board for the July 11 concert in Michigan with my brother and friends. Can't wait!

Happy weekend!

This Weekend

2012-02-14T00:01:00.000-07:00

With Brian out of town, I always try to fill up my weekends so I'm not sitting around bored. Of course I'd much rather he was home and enjoying the weekend with me. I was feeling particularly "woes me" with him being gone on this trip, and wishing he wasn't gone so much, so I did a pretty good job of filling up my social calendar to get out of the house.

Friday I had to make some returns at the mall and I treated myself to some Panera (mmm, mac n' cheese) and a leisurely roam around Target. Good night in my book.

Saturday I was up and at em' at 7:45 am to meet Tiffany and her sweet girl Logan for an IKEA outing. It was my first trip to the Colorado store. Somehow you manage to find all of these things you NEED and I'm not even sure how I spent $128. But, I did. And I ended up with pillow cases, a shower curtain, candles, and some other random things that I just "had" to have. Oh, and a project like one of these will be in the works soon to make a new nightstand. The "Campaign Style" furniture is big right now.

I also took a look at a couch I am considering. Young House Love has it and they love it, so of course it must be great! It was nice, but the cushions in the back might be a bit too low, and that's likely a deal-breaker as I realize how much I do actually rest my head back when lounging around. So, we'll have to see and likely make another trip down south to check it out again when Brian's in town. It's a running "joke" in our house that if John and Sherry have/do something, it's practically the "gospel." I've even hooked our roomies on YHL, as they are in the midst of buying a house and gathering all sorts of DIY ideas.

Karlstad Corner Sofa in Lindo Beige

Then, I made a little visit to World Market and West Elm (I adore that store- wish there was a closer one!), before heading down to dinner at a friend's new house. Eight of us spent the night laughing and talking, having a great time as always. I didn't get back home until midnight so it was a long day. And being a master sleeper, I managed to clock 12 hours and did not get up until Noon on Sunday. I'm not ashamed, "professional sleeping" runs in my family- we're experts at it!

I did a whole lot of not much on Sunday, I actually woke up with a bit of what felt like a head cold, which has thankfully gone away. I went and got another Spain guide book for Barcelona as I'm still struggling with figuring out the trip and where we're staying. And to be honest, I'm really struggling with whether I'm going to like Spain as much as Brian does and how it will compare to Rome- which I found to be absolutely amazing. I cannot fathom that Barcelona will even come close to comparing, but Brian says Barcelona is his favorite city in the world. I think I'm a little afraid that I'm going to be let down. I hope not!

In other Spain related issues, it's no secret I have some "feet issues" with my bunions and finding comfortable (yet stylish- very important!) shoes, especially when I'll be standing/walking a lot. It's pretty brutal. Brian said I could not take my tennis shoes to Barcelona, I would look like a tourist. Newsflash, I'm pretty sure I'm going to look like one ANYWAY! Hello, blond hair and blue eyes, fair skinned American. Anyway, he gave his "seal of approval" on some "stylish" kicks and I just received these, which I actually really like. However, I'm still baffled as to when he became the "fashion expert." And of course, I'm irritated that when I just went to the site for the below picture I see these shoes are on sale. Gah!

Nike Eclipse Natural Motion

I also bought my first pair of TOMS. We'll see how they are on the comfort factor.

TOMS Burlap

Anyway, enough on shoes. I was a complete couch potato and sat around watching the Grammy's all evening. I love Adele. Who doesn't? The girl deserved all six of those awards. Other highlights? Paul McCartney, of course, and Bruno Mars surprised me with his Motown influenced performance. I also like Civil Wars, who did the brief intro for Taylor Swift. I have never heard of them before. As a matter of fact, they're actually performing on Jay Leno right now too. Good stuff.

That's all I have for my weekend. A long day of work today with The Voice and Smash this evening (couch potato 2 nights in a row, oops!), a Valentine's Day without my Valentine tomorrow, as well as tuning in to Parenthood, and finally he'll be back late Wednesday night. We have nothing on the calendar for the weekend yet, but I have a few tasks up my sleeve that I want to tackle. Hopefully it warms up and melts what is left of our snow, as I'm sick of seeing all this white stuff. And sick of Ries taking forever to go to the bathroom, to be honest.

That's all I have for now...

Cooking Light Salsa Chicken

2012-02-10T07:00:00.000-07:00

In an effort to be better about cooking for myself when Brian is out of town I actually planned out meals for this week. Salsa Chicken, Garlic Chicken and Broccoli, and Taco Salad. This Salsa Chicken recipe is awesome and extremely easy to make. A must for me, as I'm no chef extraordinaire. For those of you who know my hot 7 layer dip, I think it tastes like that. Yum!

Salsa Chicken

Ingredients

1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 teaspoons taco seasoning
Cooking spray
2/3 cup bottled salsa
2/3 cup (about 2 1/2 ounces) shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
1 (4-ounce) can whole green chiles, drained and thinly sliced
1/4 cup fat-free sour cream
2 tablespoons sliced ripe olives

Preparation

Preheat oven to 475°.

Combine chicken and seasoning in a medium bowl, tossing to coat. Heat a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook for 4 minutes or until browned, stirring occasionally. Arrange chicken in an 8-inch square baking dish coated with cooking spray; top with salsa, cheese, and chiles. Bake at 475° for 8 minutes or until chicken is done and cheese is melted. Top each serving with 1 tablespoon sour cream and 1 1/2 teaspoons olives.

Words

2012-02-08T21:56:00.001-07:00

There are no words to explain the loss we experienced in this past week. Last Saturday we lost a dear friend to a heart attack. Joe was only 41 years old, went into the hospital with some chest pain, had some tests run that came back OK, called a friend to come and pick him up, and then went into cardiac arrest right then and there. We lost a friend. A member of our "family" here in Denver. Life just isn't fair.

We spent days crying (oh, the tears we all shed!), planning (a memorial), drinking Leslie's (that's rum and diet- Joe's drink), surrounding ourselves with friends, eating pizza 5 times in one week, brainstorming about a foundation that will be started in Joe's name, and attending three days of memorials and funerals in Denver and St. Louis. Well over 200 people at each of them. I would say you have to know our industry to really grasp how many lives Joe has touched and come into contact with over the years. From traveling on the road as a TD to his latest job as a Sales Manager at the convention center. Joe knew a lot of people. What is amazing is that Joe made an effort to get to know so many people and keep in touch with them. It's a tribute to the kind of person he was. Always a smile, a hug, the life of the party.

Me, Joe, and Brian at Joe's 40th Birthday Party.

And now, unfortunately he's left us all way too early. This past week sucked. My Mom never let us say "sucks," it was a bad word, but there's no better way to describe it. Point blank. Thank God for our tight knit group here in Denver. We could not have gotten through this without each other. Friends spoke funny and kind words, sang songs and played instruments (Joe was the lead singer in our friends' band), and ultimately friends literally carried Joe to his final resting place- the hardest part. Joe was our family and we were his. That's just the way we are. His Mom said it best when she said they were always a little jealous of all of us out here in Colorado with him. Jealous that we got to share his love of life day in and day out, and jealous of what our group "has." It's true. We spend holidays together, mark important life events like new babies, engagements, and weddings, share birthdays, kickball teams, picnics in the park, and just random evenings making our own fun up as we go along. It's special. I would be jealous of it too.

Such a great family, always having fun!

So, pardon my silence for the past week, but we've been dealing. Taking a step back. A reality check. Putting life into perspective. Coping. So many things. There were so many phone calls that had to be made to friends across the country. Then there was the traveling, coordinating, and coming together to celebrate someone's life. It was an unfortunate way for a "reunion" to happen in St. Louis, but such an awesome outpouring of love for Joe and his family.

And if I can leave you with any parting words, it would have to be these, as I watched Joe's family struggle to fill in the blanks and piece together the puzzle. Write down your wishes. Have a will, even if you have "nothing" to will. Someone needs to know who gets the dog. The furniture. The computer. The keepsakes. It's true. Your passwords and accounts. Have them documented and in safe keeping. Tell someone where this information is. God forbid something should happen, the last thing that you want your family to deal with is figuring out how to get into your e-mail, banking, Blockbuster on-line (yep, it's true), etc. It pained me to watch Joe's Mom become so overwhelmed with how much she had to figure out and take care of from an "administrative" standpoint, and she didn't have a clue where to start. Nevermind the fact that she is simultaneously grieving over the sudden loss of her son. And finally, check your health. 41. Young. Active. You just never know...

I'm Not The Only One

Hillary is catching "heat" for her headband. See, it's not just me thinking this way!

Someone Help Hillary

2012-01-24T22:13:00.001-07:00

Headbands did not work for you in the 90s

and they still aren't working for you now.

She looked really, really bad tonight on the State of the Union, in my opinion. Bad enough that even my brother was inspired to text me a "what's up with Hillary's look" message. Someone please help her destroy the headbands! Let's go back to some looks that made you appear powerful and in charge.

H&M Home

2012-01-20T15:46:00.000-07:00

Hearing about H&M Home for the first time today, and immediately being disappointed to learn they don't ship or have stores in the US (yet!), I still had to share some of these great finds!

2 Pack Guest Towels

Storage Basket

Pillow Cover

Pillow Cases

Linen Ruffle Throw

Linen Blue Stripe Throw

Table Runner

Textile Bag (i.e. Gift Wrapping!)

Golden Globe Dresses

2012-01-16T08:00:00.000-07:00

I actually disliked most of the red carpet fashions. Never disappointing, and always a stand out winner in my book, is Reese.

Radiant as ever.

Stacy Keibler was also a winner in my book. Must be the year of red.

I can't even say I remotely liked anything else I saw. Here's to hoping the Oscar's will bring out some better looks!

Quick Little Getaway

2012-01-15T14:57:00.001-07:00

Friday morning I decided to head to Scottsdale Saturday morning... Saturday and Sunday for a quick little weekend of relaxation before I have to attend to some last minute business on Monday and Tuesday. Making my decision that much easier was that Brian was leaving Saturday morning for Scottsdale as well! We never get to be in the same place at the same time for work. So, luck would have it that I've been staying with him at the Arizona Biltmore.

I thought I might be soaking in some sunshine, as the forecase was 70s and sunny, but it's mysteriously disappeared since we had lunch on Saturday. Thankfully at the last minute I packed some black yoga pants and my new blue Patagonia pullover (thanks Mom and Dad S!)... I'm sitting fireside right now bundled up in both of them. I've worked my way through 4 magazines, just purchased a 5th, and I'm half-way through my Steve Jobs book. Which, by the way, I find incredibly fascinating.

We were able to have dinner with Brian's Aunt and Uncle last night which is always a great treat. We love spending time with them and certainly love the fact that they're now part-time residents here in Arizona and it's much warmer and sunnier (typically!) here than it is in Chicago. Looking forward to future visits!

Upon research and recommendation, we had dinner at Blanco, which is apart of the Fox Restaurant Concepts. We have NoRth in Denver and love it, especially for happy hour, and hope that they'll bring a Blanco to town soon.

Since I'm technically here "hiding," as Brian is not allowed to have anyone stay in his hotel room while he's working, we've done the whole "walk 10 paces behind me" song and dance and there's certainly no fireside cocktails being consumed in the evening- at least not by him. He's also not allowed to drink at the hotel he is working at. Geez o petes, right? I am going to take a look at 2 hotels and 4 restaurants Monday and Tuesday, but for now I'm also stranded without a rental car. It's been a great way to force myself to relax, actually, so no complaints here.

Back to Colorado on Wednesday...

Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?

2012-01-10T08:00:00.000-07:00

Get your hands on the Amy Winehouse version of the above (from the Lioness album), it's fantastic- so soulful! Introduced by my friend Suzanne, I immediately came home and downloaded it from iTunes. A really great cover that I've (of course) been playing non-stop, exactly what I do with all new music that I find and love. Repeat, repeat, repeat.

I've also been listening to honeyhoney non-stop as well. Both the Billy Jack and First Rodeo CDs. Equally great. The band is friends of a friend and we saw them live in Denver in November. I bought one CD there and received the other for Christmas. They're on 24/7 now and I'm learning all the words, which is exactly what I aim to do when I am in my "repeat, repeat, repeat" routine of listening to current favorite music. Drives Brian nuts.

What else is in steady rotation for me at the moment? Well, just in case you have any care at all, I'll tell you. Rihanna- We Found Love, Josh Krajcik- Hallelujah and At Last Live Performances from XFactor, Melanie Amaro- Listen Live Performance from XFactor, Mestizo- Sweet Madeline, Coldplay- Fix You, Florence + The Machine- Ceremonials Album, Pitbull- Give Me Everything, Cobra Starship- You Make Me Feel, Lady Antebellum- Dancin' Away With My Heart, Lionel Ritchie- All Night Long, and Jason Mraz- I Won't Give Up. Quite the mix, yes?

Our Holidays Were Fantastic!

Grandma was very good this year, as evidenced by her pile!

We truly had a fantastic time with our families over the holidays, as we always do. Plenty of eating, drinking, laughter, stories, and memories made! We are so fortunate to be able to see everyone during the holidays, and I wouldn't have it any other way!

Sparkles

2012-01-07T08:00:00.001-07:00

I was feeling a little crafty while in Michigan so, inspired by Pinterest and some blogs, I decided to embark upon a little project. Of course, now I cannot find the original image I was going to show with the project inspiration, but oh well. It's not that earth-shattering.

I'm not sure how long the glitter will last on the mini-clothespins, but they sure made for some fun gifts that I shared with my friends yesterday. I'm sure their offices will be dusted in glitter in the weeks to come- oh what fun!

All Wrapped Up

2012-01-06T08:00:00.000-07:00

Girls night tonight with some of my favorite gals. I've missed them so much! Going to be a fun evening catching up over the last few months, exchanging gifts, and of course consuming some vino. I'm all wrapped up and ready to go... can't wait to deliver the goodies!

World Market Furniture Sale

2012-01-05T08:00:00.000-07:00

I stopped into Cost Plus World Market last night, just to browse around because I was in the area. Oh my! What a furniture sale! Apparently it's running until January 29 as well. I walked in and could have easily scooped up half a dozen things. I only walked away with one item, and sadly I think it has to go back because it's too short for my desk. Of course it's not on-line so here's the grainy camera phone photo.

My other top picks were...

Lindley Sofa

Aiden Coffee Table

Preston 5-Drawer Table

Tribal Carved Wood Accent Table

Plus the pillows, accessories, kitchen and bathroom linens, etc. It was a rare occurrence to walk through World Market and like so many things- including a scarf and a necklace that I snatched up for a steal.

I think it was all of the bright, spring colors. The blues, greens, yellows, corals. Fresh crisp linens. I'm over winter already and it's only early January. Oh boy.

Gray and Yellow Herringbone Toss Pillow

"I Love You" Wood Block - I might have to return to pick this up. It reminds me of letterpress blocks used in the pressing machines.

Yellow/White Parnavi Towel Collection

Red Basic Ceramic Floral Knob, Set of 4

Small Nomad Glass Tray

Multi-colored Crocus Napkin

As a bonus I even stumbled upon this Christmas runner for next year, at only $6.25!

Yuletide Trees Table Runner

Sophia Grace & Rosie

2012-01-04T16:20:00.000-07:00

I think these little girls are the cutest thing ever and I find this "Sack of Potatoes" video clip to be absolutely HILARIOUS. Brian just does not understand why I find it to be so funny. Come on...sack of potatoes and teeny weenie mouse, in their British accents! Fast forward to the 1 minute mark where it gets good.

Red Carpet video here. Super Bass here. Love them!

My Kind of Town, Chicago Is...

2012-01-02T08:00:00.000-07:00

We spent two nights in Chicago for New Year's Eve weekend. Fun-filled days of eating (always lots of that in Chicago, it seems!), friends, shopping, and lots of walking and people watching. We've been to Chicago so many times and it always amazes me that we continue to find new things to do and see (and places to eat). This time around we were staying on Michigan Avenue and had a good central location to where we spent most of our time - Gold Coast, Lincoln Park, and River North. We didn't even venture south of the river during our visit, which is somewhat unusual as we typically walk in the park or at least down State Street.

We I shopped.

J.Crew

West Elm

And also browsed Jayson Home & Garden, a place that I had heard so much about from bloggers and have wanted to see for myself. Picture a crazy expensive version of everything furniture wise that you see in an Anthropologie. Fun window shopping but so beyond any budget I would ever have. At least I can say I've been there now to see it.

We dined at Cafe Ba Ba Reeba, a Chicago trip staple in our books, discovered a favorite new brunch place called Feast, had Saturday afternoon margaritas at Uncle Julio's, and finally New Year's Eve drinks at Sable and dinner at Volare. We capped off the last few minutes of 2011 with drinks at The Peninsula hotel bar. We parted from our friends shortly thereafter and Brian and I enjoyed our hotel's band and one last cocktail before calling it a night at 1 am. It was yet again another great evening- our 5th year with the same friends!

Sable Bar

We're en route to Colorado now, 12 long hours in the car today. We have had a fantastic holidays with our families, but I am looking forward to heading home for the first time since November 12. My own bed, a Saturday afternoon manicure at my little place Ten20, a post-holidays get together with girlfriends on Friday night, Pilates class, and just home in general. It's been so long. Oh, and the mere thought of 60 degrees for several days this week too- bonus!

Happy 2012!

Merry, Merry!

2011-12-23T14:54:00.000-07:00

Hope that you all have a ridiculously amazing Christmas!! Just not as ridiculous as the guy in the below funny video. Enjoy the magic of the season.

Wishing for White, Fluffy Flakes!

It's "unseasonably warm," 40s and 50s and miserable rain, here in Michigan. Bring on the snow, it's CHRISTMAS TIME!!
