Oh hai, 2015! How did 2014 goals end up?

Well, hi there. Remember me? #Oops

I'd say I was busy, but my Best Workout Bud detests that word (and I agree - we overuse it). Let's just go with it wasn't you, it was me. I needed some space. And move on. 

Holidays were groovy - too damn fast. New Year's was quite delightful, and filled with just a touch of gluttony (no hangover) and time spent with humans (and a canine) I adore. So what to you say to bringing on 2015? 

hi·a·tus: (noun) a pause or gap in a sequence, series, or process.

Well. Didn't mean to take a hiatus of *quite* that length, but well, you know. Life. 

Been a weird few weeks, I'll be honest, but here we are. You and me. What's been going on? 

Dublin Irish Fest hanging out with We Banjo 3, and friends (one was very much new!) 

Gearing up for hockey season at some fan events. Go Columbus Blue Jackets!! #WeAreThe5thLine

 

 Gallivanting about this summer.....
such a wonderful summer we had here in Central Ohio. 

Crafty Nerds, Beer Nerds, Hockey Nerds - and Lunches This Week (#8)

This past weekend was oodles of fun, and jam-packed too. I always feel at the end of the weekend, that I really need just one.more.day, and this weekend was a perfect example of why. 

Saturday dawned with beautiful spring weather: sunny, low humidity, temps in the 70s in the afternoon, light breeze, everything blooming and leafing, and just gorgeous. My trainer & friend was out of town, so I used it as excuse to not work out, and instead go to breakfast and to our favorite crafty show, Craftin' Outlaws. 

Spouse & I spent about 3 hours shopping, and seeing some of our favorite vendors and friends. Had dance time with AmyD and her partner-in-crime, which was fabulous. Saw some new things. Stocked up on soaps (thanks to Cellar Door Soap & Skin and Barmaid Soap Company). Bought some prezzies. Went overbudget (oops) but got this treasure, which invoked much jealousy from The Bratty One:

Spouse named her Goldie for me.
Purchased from Happy Bungalow.

So far, I give 2014 a solid D+.

I don't really like to make generalizations or be negative but. Yeah. So. 2014. Can basically suck it at this point. 

Holy Epic Weekend, Batman.

Geezy pete: I need a weekend to recover from my weekend. 

Here are the highlights:
1. Friday night: Columbus Blue Jackets game with our BFFs. Our boys lost but in a shootout so we'll kindly take the one point, thankyouverymuch.
2. Saturday afternoon: Craftin' Outlaws at Vet's Memorial and post-shopping nosh at Dirty Frank's. 
3. Saturday night: Dinner at Martini's Modern Italian and Justin Timberlake concert at Nationwide Arena. 
4. Sunday morning: Brunch at Starliner Diner. 
5. Sunday late afternoon: 40th birthday party for Bratty Sister at Casa Nueva, in Athens, OH.

Add in house-guests! And baking! And driving through the horrendous storms Sunday night that swept through the Middle West! (Man, did we luck out around here, comparatively speaking!)

SO.MUCH.FUN. Yet. OY.
