We are back from two glorious weeks at the beach. I miss it already. The house was great--large, well equipped, and super close to the beach! We had so much fun with family and friends. If you're interested I did post a few pictures!

Catherine and I have been able to take the edge off of our sad-to-end-a-vacation blues by hanging out at the pool. I've swam early morning laps four days this week and we've been to the toddler swim time just as often. Next week the pool begins its regular hours and I foresee us spending even more time there!

I am super excited that another season of Master Chef is beginning. However, I am bummed that I will be a week "behind" because Hulu is delaying the show by eight days for non-paying subscribers.

I love entering giveaways in blogland--I do it fairly regularly. I have decided that a great use of my Twitter account is to tweet about these giveaways. Most giveaways award this with extra entries anyways, so it works out quite well. If you also like entering giveaways you definitely should follow me--if not, I wouldn't bother. (@The_Phil_Wife)

Oh my gosh, speaking of giveaways, have you seen all the Shabby Apple giveaways?!?! I'd really really LOVE to win one of those because their dresses are absolutely adorable!

Last night I spent some time looking for a specific recipe. When I was very little there was an incredibly kind older woman at our Church who made a very unique cookie. It was a soft "blonde" cookie with white chocolate chips, coconut, and corn flakes in it. I've never been fond of coconut but these cookies were amazing. Sadly, none of the recipes that I found last night seemed right. (So, dear readers, if you know this recipe, or see one that looks like it might be right, I'd love to know about it!)

I finally got started on my chevron afghan! It is dark purple and grey. I am using this pattern, which I found on Ravelry.
