Saturday was rough. Let’s just say I never saw the morning light. Or even much of the afternoon light. The sun hurt my eyes. But at 4pm we were alive and ready to hit the beach with some friends. Who ended up leaving the beach. Never mind. So we got pedicures. My girl took out … More Day 188: Beach Bums
Friday afternoon, we were back at the beach. With cool hats. Shady umbrellas. And more hats. The ultimate sun protection. The sun was hot. The sky was clear. The surf was blue. The dunes were white. The Don Cesare was pink. We stayed until the sun set. Not before devouring another BBQ feast. And at … More Day 187: Beach Day and First Friday
Did anyone watch the Bachelorette last night?? I have to say, I was not surprised to see Sean go home. Emily kept calling him “perfect” which basically means “boring”. Sorry kid. What’s the point of literally chasing down a girl if you can’t keep her interested for more than 5 minutes? Team Jef. Thursday After … More Day 186: Hometown Exposure in Magic Mike
What a fantastic Fourth of July! My entire extended family congregated on the beach for the holiday and had an absolute blast. The Chmielewskis are certainly a wild bunch. There are 14 cousins in all and as the oldest I’ve watched them grow from babies to young adults. They are the best. Daily Workout Before … More Day 185: A Dazzling Fourth of July
(So sleepy today! Mondays after vacation are the worst) Tuesday After another long day of work, Carina drove over from Orlando.

My mom grilled some incredible chicken that had us … More Day 184: Cool Breeze, Cool Friends
It’s been an amazing week. Carina and I had a blast, getting sunburnt, swimming in the ocean, watching male strippers, and eating ice cream. It’s a good life. And now I need to recap the entire week! It was wonderful stepping away from the blog and just enjoying time with my best friend and my … More Day 183: Vacation is Over
I finally did it. After months of consideration. Months of anticipation Endless dreaming and fantasizing. Getting so close, but never having enough. Well I finally did it. I made kale chips. It was easy. And not so scary. And way too salty. But when you’re cooking, your first attempt is never perfect. But eventually delicious. … More Day 182: Kale Chips

Carina is driving over from Orlando this afternoon and we’re going to have some fun in the sun with my extended family. I cannot wait! Just let me get a workout and nap in first… :-). Like I promised, here are … More Day 181: Sunset Moonrise
Is it already Monday?? Where has the time gone. It seems like so much happened this weekend. Until I actually review what I did and realize it was not much at all. What was I doing? Sleeping? Probably eating. And lots of reading. What was I reading? Don’t laugh… but I finished Fifty Shades of … More Day 180: Scenes at Dusk and Rock Hard Abs
Ugh. Blogging has been a challenge for me the last several days. Whenever Peter leaves I inevitably fall into a funk. I don’t want to see anybody. I don’t want to do anything. I just want to be alone. This is fine for a while. Eventually the world calls me back and I snap back … More Day 179: This Thing Called Life
