Day 140, May 20, 2011
It may be raining but robins always equal spring.
Day 139, May 19, 2011
My husband bought me flowers as an early birthday present :) This was a great surprise to come home to.
Day 138, May 18, 2011
Finally some sun after a whole week of dreary weather and rain!
Day 137, May 17, 2011
Doesn't this look amazing? I ate this at the Owl House in Rochester, NY. This is roasted duck with potatoes, asparagus, and ginger-lime carrots.
Day 136, May 16, 2011
I may have photographed Ox before, but if not, this is Ox, my companion whenever I travel :)
Day 135, May 15, 2011
Nowhere like the airport to find some awesome 80s fashion!
Day 133, May 13, 2011
Rob and I made gluten-free fried chicken with some delish fries from a bag. It was filling and amazing, and tasted like the real thing!

Day 131, May 11, 2011
My newest breakfast of choice: Chobani Greek yogurt with Udi's gluten-free granola! Lots of protein and yummy to boot.
Day 129, May 9, 2011
While I got my oil changed and snow tires taken off, I chilled out in the waiting room and finished "Bossypants" by Tina Fey. Excellent book!
Day 130, May 10, 2011
Rob and I tried a new recipe - "breaded" (w/ gluten-free bread crumbs) chicken with a sauce made of lime juice, dill, butter and chives, along with sour cream, chive, and butter mashed potatoes. It was yummy but a little too lime-y for our tastes.
Day 128, May 8, 2011
Our sister "city" at night. As you can see, pretty quiet.
Day 127, May 7, 2011
We visited the great city of Boston with my sister, Megan, and took this picture just before we got back on the train!Day 125, May 5, 2011
Cypress hates when the car is stopped and she can't get out...
Day 126, May 6, 2011
Also at the gelataria is a world map, where you pin a small slip of paper on a country and write in three words or less why you would want to visit that country. I chose Russia and wrote "Language, Culture, Vodka."
Day 124, May 4, 2011
Rob and I adore this local gelataria that sells (obviously) gelato, as well as gluten-free sandwiches and soups. We had a light dinner there recently, and since they were out of gluten-free bread I ate this delicious potato and leek soup.
Day 123, May 3, 2011
I went with Robbie to watch his classmates do their symposium presentations on this grey, rainy day.
Day 121, May 1, 2011
Recently South Portland got a Chipotle and I have been in heaven ever since. I wish I was closer than 75 miles away :(
Day 122, May 2, 2011
This is one of the many vintage bottles Rob and I bought for our wedding decorations. This is an old Moxie bottle - if you're from Maine you know that Moxie is an absolutely disgusting Maine-based soda made of ginger. I think its distribution is now nationwide so you can find some in your own grocery store!

Day 118, April 28, 2011
I ate a huge lunch and couldn't eat much for dinner. So my husband basically ate the most non-gluten-free meal ever - breaded chicken strips with salad on a flour tortilla.
Day 117, April 27, 2011
It always looks like Cypress is cuddling with her toys and I think it's far too freaking adorable.
Day 114, April 24, 2011
This is a picture of me when I was a baby and I really think that my niece Brielle looks a lot like me :)
Day 112, April 22, 2011
Another gelato date! This time Rob ate azzurokrem flavor - it was delicious!
Day 111, April 21, 2011
This was actually taken around Easter. I had a moment where I realized how amazing my husband was and I wanted to capture the exact moment. Here we're driving around Washington County. :)

Day 109, April 19, 2011
I will be much happier when this skyline has more green and sun in it.
Day 108, April 18, 2011
We bought a new bookcase for our guest room recently. I like how it's currently laid out. Notice my tattoo trophy on the top (where the hell else am I supposed to put such a gratuitous trophy?) and on the third shelf down, I framed the original drawing of my half-sleeve. Now we just need a guest or two :)
Day 107, April 17, 2011
Day 106, April 16, 2011
I have to admit that this was not taken on April 16, and for that I apologize. Regardless it is a very yummy dessert - chocolate and currant gelato!
Day 105, April 15, 2011
Rob and I make this meal relatively frequently. It includes gluten-free pasta, tomato basil pasta sauce, Italian dressing, cream cheese, broccoli, and mushrooms. Very yummy.

Day 104, April 14, 2011
My sister-in-law, Becky's little Havanese beast, Zeke. I call him Falcor. This was taken after a particularly taxing play session.
Day 102, April 12, 2011
On an impulse I bought an old-school virtual pet that I used to have when I was in 5th or 6th grade. I wanted to relive all that nonsense plus have one of these for when I have kids. :)

Spring still seems very, very far away...
Day 100, April 10, 2011
When I drive with the dog, this is how close she gets to me looking for snuggles.
Day 99, April 9, 2011
I am sorry that I have been so horrible at updating this blog lately. Not sure what has come over me.
On April 9, I co-shot a wedding with a good friend of mine who is a full-time pro photographer. This particular wedding took place at a bowling alley, and the bride and groom were self-described nerds. Hence this awesome Pac-Man cake :)Sunday, April 10, 2011
Day 98, April 8, 2011
This was taken from my bed (you can kind of see me in the TV). I wanted to show the two framed things we have in our room - I took several letters that Rob and I exchanged during our time apart (while he was in the Army and I was in high school/college/Russia) and framed them in a collage sort of format; I also framed a bunch of envelopes from and to various locations throughout our four years apart.
Day 97, April 7, 2011
I post a lot of pictures of my dog, but this one was just too ridiculous - my dog weighs 70 lb and somehow takes up the entire couch.
Day 96, April 6, 2011
When I got my hair cut this week I was accosted by these vicious beasts.

Day 94, April 4, 2011
Yet another snow squall today. So sick of winter.
Day 93, April 3, 2011
When Cypress gets sick she hides by the door. Being creepy, as always.
Day 92, April 2, 2011
Since I went gluten-free, I've had a tough time finding a good, believable pizza crust. I got some mixes from Bob's Gluten Free for Christmas and Rob and I tried them out - definitely the most realistic pizza crust I've had in the 9 months since I went GF.

Day 91, April 1, 2011
This is what I woke up to. On the first day of April. LAME.
