She Works Hard for the Money…B&B’ing Part I
So hard for the money. Da…dadaaaa…So, you better treat her right!!!
This anthem plays in my head every day as I am working so hard for the money at Il Cedro Bed and Breakfast. And, I love it. Everyone needs an anthem, right??
Last summer as we were revving up our own project, Katie told us the [...]
So Long, Joe
In keeping with one of my quarter-year resolutions, I have adopted a few new healthy habits. In fact, I have a “100 Tips for a Better Body Book” and I’m slooooowly adding a few of the suggestions into my daily routine. (Let’s not discuss the fact that I’ve had this book at least two years [...]
On Days Like These…
these bitter cold, sub-60 degree days, I wish I was anywhere else.
Well, not actually anywhere.
I wouldn’t want to be in Paris where it is 43 frosty degrees today. Or, in Vancouver where they are chilling out to a whopping 31. And, I sure as hell don’t wanna be in Detroit - where they registered a [...]
Do It Already!
Ahhh…la vita italiana.
Laid back.
Stress free.
Full of nothing but wholesome pasta and strong vino.
Right?
Yea. Right.
Don’t get me wrong. We have some good pasta down here in the south - and our wine ain’t too shabby, either, but sometimes you just wanna get going! You want to buy personal products in the middle of the day. You [...]
Accenti Italiani
I just *love* Italians…
You know I do.
One, on most occasions, more than the rest.
But, one thing I do not discriminate on is my love of their cute little accents…in inglese, of course.
My personal favorite?
“Cherrye”
It is no surprise Italians encounter difficulties with my name - Americans have had problems my entire life. In the states, [...]
Nineteen Days into
the New Year and I am still dreaming up resolutions.
Not off to a good start, am I? I am convinced if I could only get “caught up” with my life, I could stay on top of things. Yea, right! Can’t fool you guys, can I?
New Year’s Resolutions…
What are they good for anyway? Aside from showcasing [...]
I Now Present to You
the new Mr. and Mrs…
Isn’t that fun to say?? I mean, uh, write??
It is!
It is!
And, on this, our two month anniversary, it only seems fitting.
Well, as you know good-ole-dad was able to attend the wedding, and other than a few centerpiece mishaps, a Maid of Honor shoe issue, and Peppe totally hating the tie I [...]
Some People Say
no matter where you go, your troubles find you.
I believe it.
From mid-September through the end of 2007, I had limited Internet access. Ya’ll know that! That is why I had over 630 Inbox messages to scour through, no new MBV posts, and no promising freelance writing gigs to dig up.
Only one week after returning to [...]
"All Because Two People
fell in love…”
This is one of the newest “wedding expressions” out on the market, and, while I must admit it does remind me somewhat of a sappy old Brad Paisley cawntrey song…it is nice to hear, especially when planning one’s wedding.
I also liked
“And, They Lived Happily Ever After!”
But, ultimately fell for
“Fall in Love…”
Get it?
A “Fall” [...]
So Much Has Happened
since I left Italy more than three months ago, that I am having a hard time narrowing down an appropriate point of interest on which to write.
Not so much due to inactivity on my part, but more so, perhaps from the lack of daily writing…which most writers know, increases skill and focuses a writer’s brain [...]
