Blueprints - Subway Tile

I love, love, love subway tile. Kitchens, bathrooms, white, colored, big and small. I just think it's really classy and a great investment for any house, as it really never becomes outdated. You'll see it in my house someday. That's a promise. Oh and I'd adopt these little boys if Jimmy would let me...

Reminder

Make me with all the leftover Thanksgiving turkey you can find in a couple months. Until then, enjoy me with shredded chicken at lunch tomorrow.

Thanks,
Brown Rice Casserole with Leftover Turkey, Mushrooms, Sour Cream, Cheese & Thyme

P.S - I'm relatively light, but still super delicious...

Paying His Way

I feel like an elated parent... Jimmy got two As this semester which means both classes went entirely on Castle Branch's tab. Getting an education is great, but getting a free one is even better!!

Weekend in Review

This past weekend we were graced with the presence of Chris Gregory, one of Jimmy's best friends from high school. Chris lives in Tampa, FL, but has friends in both Myrtle Beach and the Wilmington area (us!), so he decided to make a 2-for-1 trip. Jimmy actually had the week and weekend off from school, so it was doubly fun!

First there was a little of this...

Then some music and dinner at the Tiki Bar...

Then we took Chris out to some other local spots. Chris was cracking us up...

Sunday was way low key and then Chris left early this morning. I feel like the weekend went by really fast, but all in all it was great. Now back to the grind...

Donovan McEgg Scramburglar alert!

In honor of the Redskins victory over the Buffalo Bills, Kaylie cooked a breakfast egg casserole and we named it after Redskins QB, Donovan McNabb (with a little help from Spencer on the name)...

RIP

Another one bites the dust, hey hey, another one bites the dust...

That's right, folks, Jimmy's ole' Montero is done for. Without a new engine, she's just scrap metal. Stinks that she had to give up now, but we knew it was going to be sometime soon anyways. Wish us luck in our search for a used, reliable and affordable truck for Jimmy...

In happier news, Jimmy's friend Chris Gregory is coming for a visit this weekend from Tampa, FL. Should be a very good time...

Blueprints - Kitchen Office

I have very fond memories of my grandparent's house where as a child I spent at least one week a summer (sans my parents and siblings) and weekends here and there for other visits. I can remember it like it was yesterday, sitting at the desk in their kitchen doodling and making calls home to tell my parents all the fun I was having on my summer vacation. Throughout my life, most other "offices" I've known have also been in the kitchen or direct extensions of the kitchen - the heart of every household. Who needs a big, grandiose office for paying bills and minimal record keeping? Not me. I much prefer something like seen below.
