I made it!

I'm in Houston! The good news is that I found an apartment and have been doing all the little jobies that new apartments require.

The bad news is that I'm WAY behind on the blog! Whoopsies!

Confession: I can't stand it when the blog isn't in sequential order.

If I get a little behind I just stop because I can't stand when the posts don't follow the correct timeline. A little ridiculous, no?

Anywhos...

I'm sorting through photos so I can deliver the road trip 'in order'.

I'm shopping at Ikea so I have forks.

I'm tagging things in Evernote so that we can talk books.

I'm hanging out with Canadiaunt.

I'm driving around Houston in circles!

Hope you're all doing well and, ill be back soon! Pinkie Promise!

In the meantime, I'm going to go back to enjoying my Southern Benedict...and yes...I'm totally the girl who blogs at the breakfast table...

Nautie Books :: December Pick

The Scorpio Races By Maggie Stiefvater. I read this book a few weeks ago and LOVED IT.

The inspiration for the book club was provided by Miss Abby. I lurk around her blog quite a bit and am constantly looking up things she references. She gets me thinking and I love her take on books.

Anyways, she raved about this book.

I'm raving too.

It's young adult literature - and there is a bit of a love story. But I really enjoyed how 'unyucky' it was! It was sweet. There was adventure. There was magic.

It's a delightful read.

Join me in reading The Scorpio Races!

(I'll recap Gone Girl soon...but, for now I'm going to enjoy my road trip!)

Love you all!!!!

The Road Trip :: Pennsylvania - Home of Fallingwater

I've never given much thought to Pennsylvania.  I knew it was home to Pittsburgh and that's just about it.  Oh okay and I know that Amish people live in Pennsylvania and I also have heard the term 'Pennsylvania Dutch' ten million times. Let me be the one to tell you:  Pennsylvania is Beautiful.

Yesterday we drove the Laurel Highlands Scenic Byway.  We ooohed and aaahed the whole way.

Rockers on front porches.  Old stone buildings in pristine condition.  Cherry Cider.

Fallingwater.

Apparently, and I honestly didn't know this - my Canadiaunt is a HUGE Frank Lloyd Wright fan and has always dreamed of visiting Fallingwater his iconic masterpiece.

We figured why not make a pitstop - why not indeed?

It was amazing.  So far ahead of its time.  Still so relevant.  A true work of art.

More photos of our drive through Pennsylvania can be browsed through here:

Farewell New England!

It's 0710 and I'm sitting on the floor in my hotel room next to the only outlet I can find. My phone didn't charge at all last night because I accidentally turned off the switch to the outlet - whoopsies! Yesterday we drove through eight states! (I forgot to tell you that my Canada Auntie is along for the ride...)

That's the best thing about New England - when you drive there's a real sense of accomplishment!

Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania!

I kept trying to take pictures out the window which I think Cadaniaunt really hated!

I got only one decent photo around sunset...

SURPRISE!

Alright Nautie Friends...I've kinda been holding out on you. I've been laying low around the blog because I've been wicked busy...

...and I've been wicked busy because I'm moving to Houston, Texas!

The road trip began this morning!!

Start expecting some road trip posts - yippee!!!

Let's get this party started!
