I'm obsessed.

Guys, I'm obsessed with the Olympics!!! I mean, I always have been, just ask my mom. I can't stop watching them, even the events no one seems to like.
More blogging to come in the future! Now, it's time to watch some more Olympics. :D

My Trip to Boston

My blog hiatus all started off with my business trip to Boston. I left very very early Sunday morning (in the last week of June) - we're talking 3:30am people, ugh. My flight was supposed to leave at 5:50am. Yeah, that didn't happen because they were servicing the plane. Sigh. You know in the Amazing Race when the participants are running around trying to get on stand-by and/or are trying to change their flight? That was me. Alas, there was nothing to be done. We finally left around 8:15/8:30. Needless to say, I missed my connection to Boston, so, I had to stay the night. Hey, at least they give you hotel and $10 meal vouchers!

Monday morning came, and I finally got there. Well, sort of. You see, when I landed it was thunder storming. Normally I love a good thunder storm, but today, well, today I needed to get to my convention! I was stuck on the plane for over two hours. I could see the gate from my seat, but the crew was not allowed out while there was lightning.
FINALLY I got to the convention, had lunch, sat at the booth, had a wonderful dinner with my boss, and got checked in to my hotel.

Tuesday, my boss left for another convention, and I was on my own. Luckily, it was only a half day. After I was done at the convention, I got lunch, took a nap, and then I went on a duck tour and saw a Red Sox game at Fenway! Oh yeah, I also got awkwardly hit on while I was at the game...sorry boys, I'm taken. Did make me feel good about myself I suppose.

All in all, it was a good trip. Boston is such a cool and beautiful city - I already want to go back. I think I just need to do a whole northeast tour.

Have a great day friends, and happy August! :)

The Olympics are Here!

{Via}

The Olympics have begun, and I'm SO EXCITED! I love the Olympics! The funny thing is, I'm not very athletic, or that competitive - ok, ok...I can be competitive, but not like this. Regardless, I've always had a fascination and love for the Olympics. 

Unlike many people I've talked to, I enjoyed the opening ceremonies. Was it bizarre? Yes. Did it get confusing? Absolutely. But, I still managed to enjoy them. 

How was everyone's week? My was filled with  getting used to a new office building and work (per usual). I did manage to go out to happy hour with co-workers, watch project runway with a friend, and of course I watched the opening ceremonies, but other than that, it's been work, work, and work. This weekend I'm going to get some good relaxing in. I feel like I could use it :) Well, that and I'm going wine tasting tomorrow! Hooray :D 

What are your weekend plans? 

Do you like the Olympics? What are some of your favorite events to watch? 

Have a great weekend friends!

Guess Who's Back - Back Again

Well friends, it has been just over a month since I last blogged. What inspired this hiatus? It all started off with my business trip to Boston. I already want to go back to Boston - I feel like there's so much to do and see there. I enjoy traveling, but it was nice to be back in my own bed with my hubby. 


After Boston, I had a lot of work to catch up on, friends to see, weddings to coordinate and attend, my 3 year anniversary (yup, I've been married 3 years...crazy, huh?!) and honestly, I just wasn't feeling inspired/I forgot to blog. Happens to the best of us. 


Our company is moving offices, so I had the luxury of getting off at 2pm on Thursday, and having the entire day off Friday. I went out to a late lunch and got mani/pedis with some co-workers, I saw The Dark Knight Rises (SO GOOD!!!), and I relaxed. It was glorious. 


I'm excited to "start" blogging again, though I'm still debating the Tumblr vs. Blogger thing. Anyway, I hope you all had a great weekend. 

Living Room Design Ideas from Design Shuffle

Today, we have a special guest post from Design Shuffle. I hope you enjoy their living room 

design ideas as much as I have. 

**********************

Hi, Joanna here! I’m a writer for Design Shuffle, a decorating site which offers interior designers a platform for sharing their work and design enthusiasts a chance to find decorating ideas and images. I am passionate about my work. I enjoy creating posts such as this to share on blogs like My Berried Life. Today, I bring you some of my favorite living room interior design ideas. Enjoy!   

 

A gallery wall creates a focal point in this eclectic living room. The vintage poster theme pulls the room’s style and colors together.  

Creating multiple seating areas divides the space and makes it look more spacious. Be sure the colors are balanced from one area to the next.  

In living room designs, a stunning light fixture, like this ship-shaped chandelier, can also be used a focal point and to draw the eye upward.  

Mixing black and white with a third color makes a room pop like the pink does in this lovely living/dining area.  

A brilliant accent wall adds personality and character to any space. A bright blue in this living room makes the white elements appear crisp and pristine.  

Go pink in the living room for a sassy and vibrant feel. This hot pink and white beauty is energetic and inviting. Would you dare go pink in your own space?  

Like the zebra rug pictured here, an animal print element gives any room a sophisticated vibe. Use these prints on furniture in moderation for an equally chic effect.  

Add pillows, pillows and more pillows to any space for an additional touch of comfort. The pillows here are used as seating and decoratively. Inspire any decorating ideas?
