How to help the economy and be a conscious consumer

20111129-204603.jpg

Leslie and I always talk about how we would like to start up our own small business someday. We have had plenty of ideas; from a bar to a coffee shop to a vintage/art/crafts store to a restaurant to a t-shirt truck…and a few more. Since we are not ready to embark on such an […]

Visiting Louisville is always a trip back to Leslie’s teenage years and, of course, millions of good, bad, funny, and crazy memories with her family and good friends. It is fun to hear about the things she did in different places, the roads she took, the parties she attended, the shops she visited and the […]

The Dog Spot needs YOUR help!

the new parking lot / fenced in area / landscaping behind the Dog Spot. Looks awesome!

The Dog Spot has become our favorite place to take our dogs when we need a place to take care of them. Check out our previous post about this great place. We really love  this local business and love that the people who run it are passionate about what they do. We feel that for […]

A Very McClure Thanksgiving

DSC_3422

A couple of my friends mentioned that Thanksgiving is their favorite time of the year because it kicks off the holiday season, and I agree wholeheartedly. Thanksgiving is great because you get to see your family, take off of work / school for a few days, and you know there is still a month to […]

Oh my. I’m more full than I expected. I thought my mom’s Sunday meals were preparing me for Thanksgiving, but I ate maybe 15 helpings of food. Javi couldn’t handle it…He’s been passed out on the couch for about 2 hours. Uff. Estoy mas llena de los que esperaba. Pense que las comidas de mama […]

The latest edition of our we-love-East-Nashville-and-local-stuff series is dedicated to Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams. It’s located right next to the Silly Goose off of Eastland – and it really is splendid. They have ice cream flavors you’ve never been able to find but always wanted to try: salty caramel, Bangkok peanut (I think this one […]

Decorating for Christmas: final touches

Javi and I JUST finished decorating. I think. You didn’t really think I’d make that much of a fuss about Christmas and decorating and then just throw up a tree and put some lights on it did you? It didn’t even have ornaments on it!! Javi y yo RECIEN terminamos de decorar. Creo. No creian […]

Our pupsters and their new tricks

We wanted to post a quick video on this lovely Saturday afternoon of Chupete and Choripan showing off their new tricks. Chupete’s latest one is “up!” – he gets up on his hind legs and hops around for a bit for his treat. We are hoping he’ll eventually be steady on his hind legs, but […]

  So yes, where was I? Sunday. Right.On Sunday, I spent most of the morning / afternoon working with Samantha again on our paper, so we’ll skip right ahead to where the fun stuff happens (unless you really want to hear about our data analysis…[results available upon request]). On Sunday afternoon, Javi and I went […]

Epic Show Flier

Pucketts

UPDATED VERSION BELOW!!! So last night I asked Javier to make me a flier for my next show at Puckett’s on December 23. I wanted a flier similar to the banner on this blog – a stick figure or some similar drawing so I wouldn’t have to use a photo of me singing like I […]
