It's finals week for Danny.
I'm going to start running again tomorrow.

This is what pintrest does to people

This is a warning to all my family and friends. If you value your time stay away from pintrest. It will suck any spare time out of your day and make you think you will do all kinds of projects that you will never actually do. But, if you are looking for a way to waste time and have exhausted facebook stalking and any other blogs you follow, Pintrest is the way to go. It is a virtual pin board of ideas that you stole from other people. You will be saying over and over, "that is genius" or "I'm totally going to do that." (but you never will). Check it out, but don't forget I warned you.

This was an idea I saw on Pintrest that I actually did. I have had this huge plain glass ornament for about 6 years. Every Christmas I have another idea of what I could do with it, then end up packing it up again at the end of the season unfinished with intentions to do something with it next year. I finally did it! I cut up one of our wedding programs and curled the paper and slipped it into the ball. I love it.

I bought these cards at the country living fair Danny and I went to back in October. Something like this would be on Pintrest.

And here is our Christmas tree! It needs some garland, but I have an idea I saw on Pintrest that I might get around to in 3 years.

Mom and Dad Kiser, along with Roscoe, came to Daytona for the day. We went to the flea market, the beach with the pups, and out to dinner. It was such a great day!

Roscoe got his own buggy and LOTS of attention. At one point his buggy met the stroller of some shitzues (yes a woman had a stroller with 2 dogs in it) and four people whipped out there cameras for pictures of the dogs kissing. Danny says, "You'd think we were seeing two presidents meeting."



From funnel cakes...

to fashion accessories, Daytona Flea Market (5th largest in the world) has it all!

In the late afternoon, we went to Flagler Beach with the pups.

For those of you who haven't been introduced, this is Roscoe P. Coltrane, Mom and Dad's 6 month old miniature schnauzer. I don't know what has happened to my father but he paid for a puppy, and even gets him groomed.

He is adorable and Vic's new pain in the ass. All he wants to do is play and Vic is too old for that crap now. Vic acts like a teenager annoyed by his little brother. Roscoe was a mess in the sand and salt water, but still soooo cute.

My favorite picture of the day:

So here we go, but still a work in progress.

My first official blog post! I'm doing this to keep up with our family and friends because I am over facebook but miss sharing our updates of our life here in Daytona. Honestly, though, I'm not very good at keeping up with this kind of thing. We shall see.
Taven, you may pester as much as you like for more posts, but may not analyze my grammer.

Here is a very quick update of our life at the moment:

• Danny got poison ivy...on his FACE!


• Benadryl knocks Danny OUT.


• We celebrated one year of marriage together on Sunday. We put up our Christmas tree and went out to a fancy sushi restaurant. It was a lovey day.


• I love my husband.


• We hosted a Thanksgiving dinner at our place for a couple of friends here in Daytona. My homemade cranberry sauce may be better than my mother's (Yes Mom, I just threw down the gauntlet. The cranberry cookoff is on). We got a smoked turkey from Sonny's and it was dee-lii-cious. I didn't burn anything and we broke out our wedding china (shout out to the Browning family for getting it for us for our wedding). It was a success!


• It is finally cool (55 degrees) in Daytona! I'm tired of 80 degree weather in November.


• Danny did very well on his last Physics test


• I liked my job today
