Hair Update
Here’s a random post about my hair. It’s getting longer, and it’s black!
Beginning of Iceland
I have been able to post the first 3 days of our Iceland Adventure. These pictures cover the travel there, our first day in Reykjavik, and the Golden Circle Tour that we took with Reykjavik Excursions. There are a lot pictures, and even more are coming. I will post them gradually throughout this week; I’ll post again when they are […]
Happy New Year’s!
I want to wish everyone a (belated) super-happy New Year! Rob and I returned from Reykjavik yesterday, and I have many pictures and things I want to share with everyone. We truly had an amazing trip. Iceland was gorgeous!! New Year’s Eve in Iceland was the biggest amateur fireworks show in the world. Stay tuned in the following days as […]
I am in Iceland
After an uneventful, but long journey, Rob and I made it to Reykjavik. Thanks to the high-speed internet at the Hotel Luna, I am able to use Rob’s PSP to blog–very slowly. The city is a beautiful mix of modern technology & old sea village. The weather is cold, but easily bearable. The light of the afternoon sun is low; […]
Craving Indian Food
There is no Indian restaurant in Myrtle Beach anymore. There used to be one; every time I visit now, they appear to be closed. I’m tempted to drive to Wilmington, NC; an hour drive for really good chicken tikka masala seems less of a hurdle everyday. I’ve been eating Amy’s Indian Mattar Paneer almost everyday for lunch. It staves off […]
Christmas Finally
Now that the successful fiasco known as my sister’s wedding is over & done, I can begin to turn my thoughts to the future. Namely Christmas. My List of Overpriced Goodies that I have no Business Wanting but Want Anyway Christmas Wish List 1. Some Camper Shoes. I love Camper Twins. They don’t match, and that’s how they like it. […]

To see The Northern Lights The Northern Lights (aka Aurora Borealis) are visible only from September through April and can only be seen on a clear, crisp night. If you’re lucky […]
Fighting Tigers
It’s a gray day here at the beach–wet & warm; no signs of winter or the impending holidays. I thought I’d share a picture of my babies (Trixie on the left, Texas on the right) boxing this morning. They made me laugh because they’re so serious when they’re play-fighting. click on the image for a really large version of the […]
My New Canon
As some of you know, me & my old canon recently parted ways. We had been together for over a year, and evidently the old canon wanted to see more of the world than I could show him. In a recent trip to NYC, he left me in Soho. There were few tears (mainly b/c my super-savvy friends immediatley persuaded […]
Suzy Chillin’ in NYC
I lost my camera (*sob, sob*), but a good friend managed to score some photos from my weekend trip to NYC. (I’m the biggest camera flake ever. I should only be allowed to have a disposable camera.) Girls doing shopping things (at pearl river) Where is Mariboo? Fancy pan of dinner people (sans Justine) Everyone at Omen having fun!

My Halloween Mix
It’s no secret to those who know me that Halloween is my favorite holiday of the year. I began planning & scheming months in advance for the festivities. I thought it would be nice to share a sample Halloween Music playlist. 1. Baby did a Bad, Bad Thing – Chris Isaak 2. Bad Moon Rising – CCR 3. Strangers in […]
