Random Friday Musings

Hi! I'm the editor and publisher of Elizabeth Anne Designs. I live in Chicago with my hubby and puppy and am passionate about the Atlanta Braves, pumpkin pie, and traveling around the world!

Friday randomness (please pardon the mishmash of thoughts, this is just how my brain works these days):

Daylight savings time has kicked my butt.  I’m exhausted in the mornings and not ready to go to sleep at night.  In the mornings when the alarm goes off, Charlie looks at me like “do we have to get up now?!”

My bracket is in the toilet.  I had Vandy in the Sweet 16 and Georgetown in the FINAL FOUR.  However, in light of all of the upsets, my Wofford pick is looking pretty strong right now!

It’s easter bunny photo time again next weekend! Here is Charlie’s bunny photo from last year, to refresh your memory.  I love how he looks like he’s trying to escape from the easter bunny.

Jeff and Jordan are hilarious on the Amazing Race.  I loved them on Big Brother and still love them.

I’ve been mulling over adding some kind of recipe submissions tool to EADL – would you guys like that?

I read the most amazing book on the plane home from Las Vegas (when I went to WPPI).  It’s called Firefly Lane and it’s the story of two best friends told throughout their lives.  You should read it, I was bawling by the end.

And speaking of Las Vegas, I had a BLAST but four nights in the land of smoking and slot machines was far too long.  They need to move the conference to the beach or something.

It takes 45 minutes to walk from the far tower of the MGM Signature to the Strip exit of the MGM.

My sister is visiting India for her spring break.  I am jealous.  I want to go to India.

Does anyone who’s been to Egypt have any tips to share?

I know I still need to post my photos from the rest of the cruise.  I will try to do that soon, I promise.  Russia was phenomenal and I want to do it justice!

It’s been 60s all week and sunny, and naturally it’s supposed to rain/snow this weekend.  Lovely.

What are your weekend plans?

we heart your comments!
  1. Daylight savings is kicking my butt too! I’ve been sleep deprived all week. The weather’s been great, but I’m so sad that we’ll be back to winter this weekend.. I’m supposed to run the Shamrock Shuffle 8K on Sunday, and really not looking forward to running in snow :(

    As far as the recipe submission tool, I really like that idea!

  2. I read Firefly Lane a few months ago and it is a wonderful book!

  3. I had Vandy and Georgetown in the Sweet 16, so my bracket is not faring all that well either. =/

    Oh the time change is kicking my butt too!! I’m wondering if the PAWS here does Easter Bunny photos. My husband might kill me though.

    I really like the idea of recipe submissions too!!! And will take a look at the Firefly Lane book (I’m ready for a new book).

    Thanks.

    Firefly Lane is such a great book!! And, I think the recipe submissions would be awesome!

  6. Amen about moving WPPI out of Vegas! Please! And somewhere on the East Coast would be great too (easier for Pacific coasters to switch to the Eastern time zone than vice versa). And I’d go for somewhere on a beach!

    It was nice meeting you at WPPI! :)
