Just wanted to let the handful of you who read this blog know, I think I'm over the blog thing.  I'm no good at it and it's starting to stress me out that I don't have anything to share, so I'm done.  Hugs and kisses.

The best part of a new house (especially one that's bigger than your old house) is all the new stuff you get to buy for it!!  And thus beginneth part one of...what, probably twenty? posts regarding all The New Stuff. New Sofa!!  D.H. and I have been waiting for this guy for weeks, we actually purchased him right after the new year, ordered him in the color we wanted, and then waited and waited..

D.H. and I have been watching Mad Men, and it cracks me up when they say "busy beaver," as in, "you've been a busy beaver." Not to say that I have been a busy beaver, I spend most of my time sitting on my arse.  Before Christmas, though, you should've seen me go.  I built my husband a workbench for his Christmas present. I know.  I'm pretty damn amazing. I didn't think to take pictures of it

First, let's get this out of the way: I don't like ANY of the paint colors in our new house.  I really don't know who chose these colors, but my feeling is they either couldn't really see yellow or they really REALLY liked yellow, because every color they used has a yellowish tint.  The entire downstairs is yellowish-green, the upstairs rooms are yellowish-white, the kitchen is yellowish-orange,

I'm no good.  This blog thing eludes me.  I can't find enough things to say to keep it going.  Also, my new job requires me to stare at a computer ALL. Day. Long.  It makes me never want to look at my own beautiful computer, ever again.  But my Darling Husband keeps telling me I need to update, so here I am. We moved!  We live in a 100-year old house in Washington, PA.  It's wonderful, but we

Halloween was great this year.  D.H. (Elder Hamilton) and I went to his friends' house in Charleston, WV for a party where we drank too much and had a lot of fun. I know I'm lame for not posting more, but I'm actually supposed to be working on a final project for one of my MBA classes.  No more procrastinating!!

Yesterday we had a pumpkin carving party at my mother-in-law's house, and D.H. and I carved these beauties: Clearly my husband is better at this game than I am.

While watching a hockey game... D.H.: When they go between the legs, that's a five hole.  When the puck goes between the legs. Me: Oh, so it's not sexual? D: Well it could be.  If you play your cards right, I might give you a five hole later.

The countdown until we get into our new house is ON!  We put in our offer for this beautiful house in East Washington Borough around the 1st of October, the negotiations are in full swing - we're currently waiting for the bank to do their appraisal/inspection - and we close in 24 days!  SO exciting! The house is absolutely beautiful - it's smack in the middle of an old, tree-lined-street kind

The buyers on our house withdrew their offer because the 2nd bedroom is too small and the basement will be hard to finish.  I guess that stuff changed over the weekend.  Stupids.

So, for those of you who don't know, I'm a big proponent of the Law of Attraction.  And here's yet another success story for the books! When our house in Salt Lake first went on the market I had a conversation with the universe that went something like this: "Hi Universe!  We just listed our house in Salt Lake, and I need to have an offer in 3 weeks.  It's pretty important." Well, yesterday (

Having someone else pack and move all our stuff = AWESOME! Having our cars shipped to us in PA so we could fly instead of driving across the country = AWESOME! Early fall weather - heavenly and cool, and I forget how green everything is in the East! Fabulous in-laws who take care of us when we are homeless, and a mother-in-law who makes great food! Not working. Happy Labor Day everyone!  Mwah!

D.H. and I are moving back East!!! (How's that for subtlety?) My darling hubby was offered a job in southwestern Pennsylvania, he accepted (after much deliberation and sleepless nights), and now everything is in motion for us to move across the country. It's all happening very fast, and I'm SO excited!  I will miss my family and friends, and Cafe Rio, and our cute little house....and that is

And no, I'm not talking about from a can.  Easy-peasy homemade chicken noodle soup.  I know - you're swooning right now.  I'll give you a minute... This soup is so super simple, it's even good to make on a weeknight when you're feeling that craving for homestyle comfort-food goodness.   My darling husband shredded the chicken for me.  What a trooper.

I've made these bars twice now, and they are DEEEE-licious.  Not too sweet, surprisingly light (at least for me..the butter makes them taste a little rich but the texture is still light), and incredibly yummy, these bars are perfect for those overcast summer days when it's not too hot to turn your oven on.  Especially since they come together so quickly, and you really only have to dirty one bowl

Okay, I have no pictures, and I have only approximate measurements (I rarely measure things when I cook...it's a terrible downfall when you want to share recipes), but I made two things on taco night that turned out Ah-mazing, without even meaning to.  So, without further ado: Smashed Black Beans1 can black beans, drained and rinsed, and roughly smashed 2 tbsp sour cream Juice from 1/2 lime (

Hi!  It's Tonya.  Just checking in.  Things are going great for the most part, thanks for that.  But I need a new job asap.  One in which I can use both my management and my pharmacy educations, that has daytime hours and few-to-no weekend shifts.  I also need good benefits - FSA, 401k with a good company match, tuition reimbursement, at least 4 weeks of vacation, and professional organization

I already miss him like crazy, but I'm also glad he's no longer suffering the way he has over the past 5 months since his stroke.  Here's his obituary from the Vernal Express.  I love you, Grandpa!

There's never a good time for crappy things to happen, but why can't they happen at only moderately inconvenient times instead of terrible times??  D.H. and I came home to a busted water heater on Friday, with hot water leaking pouring out of the top of the water heater onto the concrete floor in the basement.  We called the plumber and he confirmed our suspicions - time for a new water heater.

This morning D.H. told me he thinks I should open a bakery (based solely on the fact that I baked a perfect loaf of Italian bread this weekend...). It was about 5am and I couldn't sleep, so we were chatting about me opening my own bakery, which led to discussions about bread plus meds (quaalude croissants, Prozac cupcakes, and Viagra nut rolls, to name a few), which led to an hour long "name

January 23, 2010 - today marks the day D.H. and I have been together for one whole year. It's crazy to me how much can change in such a relatively short period of time. I don't even have words to express how happy I am or how good life is right now. It is cliché, but I am SO lucky to be in love with my best friend. D.H. and I are perfectly matched, and I'm so lucky to have found him and have

D.H.: I don't know what happened to all the cookies...they just disappeared. Me: I was gonna say, I only had one when I came home for lunch, and there were still some in there.D: They were gone when I got home.Me: Maybe we have a cookie burglarD: You should probably make some more, then, to appease him.

Everyone, say hello to Roomba! D.H. found a screaming deal on this little guy, so we decided to try him out. And boy, are we ever excited to have Roomba around!! We set him up in the living room today to see what he could do, and spent a good half an hour just watching him zoom around, cleaning everything in his path. We are such proud parents. Our lives will never be the same!

Love and Special Sauce, which was pretty freakin' awesome. G. Love. And yes, I did buy some boy shorts that say "booty call" on the back. Just us girls, being awesome.

D.H. and I officially got engaged on Friday night. It was appropriate because we ended up going to Geppetto's that night, a pizza place we went to on our first date. We even sat at the same table. When we came home and were getting ready for bed he knelt down next to the bed and said, "I love you more than anything, and I want to be with you always...will you be my wife?" I cried and

Adventure Number 1: Meet me in St. Louieeee! The company D.H. works for flew the two of us to St Louis for a Cardinals game. They are headquartered in St Louis, and had rented a skybox and invited the out-o-towners to come visit. The trip started out rocky, but ended up being completely fantastic. When we got to the airport at 7:30, we waited in line to check in at the kiosk. Then we waited

I found this A-MAZ-ING recipe on my favorite recipe blog for strawberry shortcake, and while I usually keep the best recipes to myself because I'm selfish for good food, I have to share this.  It's just too easy and WAY too good.

A big, fat, loser.  I'm so sorry for not keeping up my end of the bargain with this blog; i.e., keeping you apprised of the daily drudgery (and not so drudgery) that is my life.  So here is a quick update. I am crazy in love with this goofy guy. I have been completely exhausted and had no energy for the past two months, so I went to the doctor yesterday and discovered I have a "sluggish

So, I'm off to Florida with D.H. for 10 days...and it couldn't come at a better time, because after being 70 degrees here earlier today, it is now snowing.  A lot.

Sorry for the belated post!  Things have been fairly busy for me lately. -I am taking Introduction to Corporate Finance this semester, one of the four classes I need to finish with my MBA.  So far I have learned one very important lesson: I am not very good at finance. -I am in love with a boy from Pittsburgh who currently lives in Price, Utah.  His name is DH Hamilton, and he is a coal

It sure feels like it!!  I'm not sure of the reasoning behind it, but at work they have this wall where they have 8x10 professional framed pictures of all the pharmacists.  And because I'm fairly new, it's my turn to have my picture taken and put up on the wall!  Well, it was very strange.  I left work, went home, got all dolled up, went to the photography studio, had a bunch of photos taken,

I've never been one for making New Year's resolutions.  I suppose it stems from the fact that I would like to always be working toward something better - better relationships, more education, fewer bad habits, new skills - all year long, rather than just sporadically at the beginning of the year. That or I'm lazy. In fact, this year I didn't even remember it was New Year's Eve until yesterday,

What is it about 2:30am that makes my body think it's time to wake up?  For the past couple of weeks I've been having this problem: I wake up at 2:30-ish and can NOT go back to sleep.  Sure, I'll lay there for two or three hours, willing sleep to come back to me.  I'll get up and use the restroom because maybe that will fix it.  I turn on one side.  Then onto my belly.  Then onto the other side.

I wasn't planning on doing anything for Halloween this year, but at work people dressed up and there was a party and a costume contest so Kami convinced me to dress up as Sarah Palin.  Or, more accurately, Tina Fey as Sarah Palin.  (It was easy since I already had everything I needed in my closet.)  It turned out pretty fantastic - my hair was absolutely amazing, like a helmet of pouf.  And at

Hello my friends!  Finally I have the energy and time to update.  Firstly, the trip to Bear Lake...I went up for the weekend of July 24th with Kami, her mom, her sister and brother in law and their 3 kids.  It was SO relaxing and wonderful!  We laid out all day, we ate lots of junk food, and we went jet-skiing.  Secondly, Soumi and Aninda's wedding in New Jersey.  My first (and possibly only)

So as many of you may already know, I recently got a new job.  I figured, I've now been out of school a year, I've been a licensed pharmacist working at Target for a whole 5 months now, it's time to try something new-and that something new is called Pharmerica.  (Every time I say it I feel stupid because it's such a stupid name and it reminds me of Kramerica Industries.)  However, it is turning

I wish it was my birthday, so I could party too, HEY! Happy birthday yesterday to two of my nearest and dearest, Kami and Ashley!!!  Is it odd that two of my best friends have the same beeday?  Maybe I'm just attracted to the Tauruses.   I love you both!

So, I've had this wretched cold for a week now - my third already this year!  I cough, blow my nose a thousand times a day, have headaches and a sore throat, fevers (I haven't had a fever since I was in single digits!), and just pretty much feel like poo.  On the days I work I just pray a mistake doesn't slip through my cold-compressed brain, and on my days off all I do is sleep and lay around

I recently went to New York for a week with Darcy (can I say no to a free hotel room in New York City for a week???) and it was fantastic!  We saw shows, spent the day in Central Park, ate amazing food (hello, Angelo's pizza!), went shopping, and basically enjoyed NY for what it is: the Best City Ever.   Also, my darling friends Diana and Nic got engaged the other day!!  Congratulations!

I have come to this conclusion because it's absolutely true.  All of my friends' kids are just stinking adorable!  Don't believe me?  Check it out: Julie and Jesse's little man, McClain Kristi's two guys, Easton and Ian Ashley and Eric's cutie pie, Abe (they have Hank, too, but I don't have any pictures of him!) Paul and Jaesi's darlings, Leah and Asher Not only are they the cutest kids

Went to Betharino's wedding in Florida this weekend, and it was completely perfect - sun, friends, great parties, and a beautiful, glowing bride. I did a reading at the ceremony and barely made it through before I broke down and cried like a baby. It was so beautiful. And I got to lay by the pool in November, so it was pretty much the best weekend of my life.

So, my baby brother Levi got married this weekend. My mom had all of three and a half weeks to plan everything, and she's amazing, because it turned out really nice. Too bad my pictures didn't turn out as nice, but my camera kindof bites the big one. The ceremony (don't ask me why they were facing us, they're weird.)

So, I don't know what it is, but I have a thing for newscasters, specifically the three pictured here. I'm so attracted to them, and it doesn't matter if they're married (Colbert), gay (Cooper, although his mom was Gloria Vanderbilt, I'm not sure if he really had a choice), or older (Williams). They're intelligent, witty, and so smooth, what is that? Do they practice, or does it come

So I took the MPJE today (the pharmacy law exam) and now I am officially ready to never take an exam again!! I took the NAPLEX on Sunday, after studying for 2 weeks, and decided afterward that I should've just taken it two weeks ago and gotten it over with - the studying helped me not at ALL. Hopefully I won't have to take it again. From what I hear, it takes about 10 days to hear from DOPL to

Ash tagged me, and as far as I can tell, that means I have to answer the questions, I think...(thanks for giving me something to do while I ignore studying for the boards!) Jobs I've held: 1. Display setter at Bath and Body Works 2. Costume shop girl at Dixie Theater 3. Registration office at Dixie 4. Pharmacy graduate intern (soon to be pharmacist) at Target pharmacy Movies I can watch over

We'll see if this actually takes off for me. Right now, though, I have to eat something.
