I started knitting a new scarf/shawl this weekend. I haven’t really knit very much in a while, so it’s nice to be back into it. The scarf is scarf/shawl style because it’s wider than a normal scarf; however, since it’s made with lace-weight wool, it will ultimately be a little less bulky than one might [...]

Deliquency and Blue Orb Ghost Tours
Posted in Trips on November 17, 2010 | 3 Comments »
I guess when I was on the phone Monday night with my Dad and he commented to me that my blog needed updating, I realized just how long it had been since I last posted. Excuses? Many! Gonna post those? No! Well, just one. Life is so busy! Moving on, Matt and I went on [...]
Phanatics and Nodding Head
Posted in Eating Out, Greater Philadelphia Area, Libations, My Life, Trips on August 31, 2010 | 4 Comments »
This weekend I went downtown with some friends and DH to see the Phanatic Around Town statues that were, well, all around town. Not only was this super fun but other than the money we spent on lunch, a few beers, and the train, it was also free! You don’t come across too much in [...]
End of Summer Shoes
Posted in Clothes, Shopping, Trips, Uncategorized on August 6, 2010 | 3 Comments »
The month of July brought new shoes. Actually, I found them and bought them myself in the month. July didn’t actually bring me my shoes … July: Why, hello, Allison. It looks like you could use some shoes. Allison: I certainly would like a few new pairs. Maybe two casual pairs and something a little [...]
Home Sweet Home

Matt and I took a little long-weekend trip to Fort Lauderdale courtesy of thenest.com (I won a contest — I actually won — they picked me!). It was pretty sweet. We saw Scottie Pippen getting out of his Rolls. We ate for free 8 individual times. For what more could I ask? But despite our [...]
Schrute Farm on TripAdvisor!
Posted in Trips, TV & Radio on April 7, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Today on during Talk of the Nation on NPR I heard a great little clip about how TripAdvisor actually has a listing for the fictional Schrute Farms, a B&B that The Office mainstay Dwight Schrute founded on his beet farm in Honesdale, Pennsylvania (I learned the “actual locale” of the farm from TripAdvisor). While reviews [...]
Martha, Martha, Martha!

I made a quick day-trip to New York City a couple of weeks ago to catch a taping of the Martha Stewart Show, a program I’ve gotten into over the past few months given my “open work schedule.” The tickets were free, and I hadn’t given the trek to NYC a try since my early [...]
The Best Food Ever!
Posted in Discussions, Eating Out, Food, Trips, TV & Radio on December 16, 2009 | 2 Comments »
The Food Network has a newish show in it’s lineup on Tuesdays at 9:30 p.m. I only caught part of one once, but the idea behind it really got me thinking. The show is The Best Thing I Ever Ate, and it’s basically professional chefs and “food stars” (as dubbed by the Food Network) talking [...]
The Gap
Posted in About Blogging, Greater Philadelphia Area, Trips on October 26, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
The Gap store is not the topic of this post. Whether The Gap is stellar or not remains to be determined. The gap I am referring to is the gap in what was once a fairly steady stream of posts. And then there were none. I have every intention of getting back into it all [...]
Parkside Orchid Nursery
Posted in Gardening, Greater Philadelphia Area, Plants, Shopping, Trips on September 23, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Lest this turn into a food blog (not that there’s anything wrong with that), I am trying to switch things up and offer information on other topics. It just so happens that I eat everyday, so I tend to find more great food-related things to talk about than anything else. Friday I needed a little [...]
