I love vacations because you can indulge in well, everything! When my dad’s side of the family is together, we indulge in Texas Hold ‘Em until the wee hours of the morning. My aunt Po, who recently built the beach house pictured, even created a room called, you guessed it, The Texas Hold ‘Em Room!…

Because my What Do You Miss? Post was a little nostalgic and a lot depressing, I felt the need to create a What I Don’t Miss list. What I Don’t Miss Dating. Sure, I miss the excitement of a first date and the “I wonder where this will go” thoughts, but overall, I don’t miss…
Shopping. Shopping for clothes is the way to ruin the most beautiful of days. The sun can be shining, the birds chirping, my hair looking red carpet worthy, and none of it matters. As soon as I step into a cramped dressing room surrounded by 18 mirrors all apparently on fun-house setting, my whole day…
I have finally done it. I have completely paid off all of my credit card debt and it feels…amazing. On August 2nd, 2011, my checking account was negative $52.00, my savings non-existent, and my credit card debt totaled almost $6,000.

Today’s photo challenge: Down. We spend a lot of time looking ahead, looking from left to right before we cross the street, looking into the sky for Superman, but not a lot of time looking down. What do you see? One thing that is consistent throughout all of my photography is feet. I love feet. Not in a fetish way…
Every day I am emailed a blogging topic from WordPress. It is part of a “post every day challenge” that they have. I definitely don’t have the time to post every day, and rarely find their prompt ideas interesting, but this particular prompt made me think. It was simply “what do you miss?” So here…
Remember my Weekly Photo Challenge: Regret post? I shared pictures of a one year old binging on birthday cake and the regret that it later caused. Well, last night I had my own binge fest. Much like little Nolan, I also cried. Between the hours of 3pm and 9pm I ate a large serving of…
