2013 – Here We Come
I can’t believe another new year is upon us. Where does the time go? 2012 was a pretty great year for the Berglies; we took some nice trips, stayed busy with our jobs, and spent time with family and friends. My previous post detailed my achievements, or lack thereof, regarding my 2012 resolutions. I felt [...]
A Look at Resolutions
It’s that time of year again – time to make some resolutions! 2012 was the first year that I had actually written my resolutions down (and in this blog, no less), so it’s easy to look back and see if I’ve accomplished everything! Let’s review… Resolution #1: To have fun with Misty. Was this achieved? [...]
Tis the Season
Sometimes I feel like Charlie Brown in A Charlie Brown Christmas. “Isn’t there anyone who knows what Christmas is all about?” I know we, as Christians, celebrate the birth of Jesus, and I do recognize this day as our Savior’s birthday. But on a non-religious level, Christmas has become bothersome to me in recent years…and [...]
The 30 Club
So I’ve officially joined the 30 Club…and I just can’t believe it. I don’t feel like I’m 30…I don’t think I look like I’m 30…and I certainly don’t act like I’m 30. But then I started to think – what IS 30 supposed to be/look/act like? And then I realized that I’m not sure. Maybe [...]
A Tour of Ladew Gardens
Since James and I went on a cruise back in March, and have a few long weekend type vacations planned for the rest of the year, we decided to keep our anniversary celebration low key. We celebrated 7 years of wedded bliss on July 4th. Some people find this strange, but James and I rarely [...]
Summer and Blogging
Hey readers (all 3 of you!) I just wanted to apologize for my lack of recent posts…and for my lack of posts moving forward. Earlier in the year, I had set a goal to try and blog at least 2 to 3 times a week…and I succeeded for a bit! But now that summer is [...]
Follow MovieLove
I’m surrounded by super creative people at work, especially on the proposal team. Clara, owner of the Cupcakes by Clara blog and business, started her blog a few months ago – see my post about it here. Nicole is another piece to our proposal team puzzle. Actually, the three of us call ourselves The Tripod [...]
Hey Foxy!
If you read this post, you would have learned about the special place in my heart strictly devoted to foxes. I love them and their cute faces and their bushy tails. So when I saw this picture from my new friend Brianne, I knew I had to blog about it! Brianne is very artistic and [...]
Stained Glass Window Art
While I have never been fox-hunting, riding to hounds is definitely on my horsey bucket list. But that hasn’t stopped me from decorating my house with a variety of ‘hunt scene’ pictures, pillows, trash cans (yes, I said trash cans), etc. There is something so picturesque about a horse and rider taking a jump in [...]
The Sassy Grey has moved…here!
I told you all in a previous post that I had some new ideas in store…and here it is – my new website! Because all of a sudden what I have to say requires its own domain name! So why the new site? It’s actually because I want to change the focus of my blog [...]
Pixie, the original Sassy Grey
I’m devoting this post to the best cat in the world, my Pixie cat. Pixie has been my girl since the summer before my senior year of high school. And even though she’s still mine, she lives with my mom, who couldn’t let her go after I got married and moved out. It was a [...]
Follow Cupcakes by Clara
One of the best things about my job is working with my co-worker, Clara. Not only is she a fantastic proposal writer, but she likes to talk books as much as I do. She also loves to bake cupcakes…and I love to eat them! It’s the perfect friendship. Mmmmmmm……… Clara started making cupcakes occasionally when [...]
Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving! I hope all of you had a great day filled with lots of turkey and family time. I’m feeling especially blessed this year, and I hope you are too!
Rockin’ the Red
While I love to play sports, I have a hard time sitting down and watching them on TV…especially during the afternoon if it’s a nice day and I could be outside. But I do try to keep up with two sports: tennis and hockey. I played on the Varsity tennis team in high school, so [...]
Where has the time gone?
On this Friday, September 30th, I will be turning 29…for the first time. I know there a lot of people out there who will laugh/scuff at me for thinking this sounds old…but, it kind of is. I am entering the last year of my 20s, and I’m not exactly happy about it. I agree [...]
Men in Grey Suits
As many of you know, it’s Shark Week on the Discovery Channel! I’m kind of ashamed to admit it, but this is really the first year I’ve gone out of my way to make time for Shark Week. How could I have missed this amazingness!? For those of you who know me pretty well, you [...]
It’s the most wonderful time of the year!
That’s right – summer is here and 4th of July is just around the corner! I look forward to this stretch of the year during the cold winter months. I feel like the July 4th holiday officially ushers in this glorious time of year and that’s why it has always been my favorite holiday, trumping [...]
Happy Memorial Day!
A huge thanks to all the men and women who have served and are serving for our country. God Bless America!
Woodford Reserve Bourbon Distillery
When people heard we were planning a trip to Lexington, they all encouraged us to tour a bourbon distillery. James and I aren’t big drinkers, but if there’s a chance for me to learn something about anything, I’m in. There are multiple distilleries in Lexington to tour, but we chose Woodford Reserve for no particular [...]
Yes, I want my milk in a bag
This is not a horsey blog…this is just me whining… Mmmm…millllkkkk Every time I go to the grocery store, I buy milk. I’m not a ravenous milk drinker like my best friend, Mary, but I love milk in my cereal and when I’m eating more than my fair share of sweets. Recently, I’ve found that [...]
The Twins
In December of 2003, James, my mom, my sister, and I rescued four kittens – all about 5 or 6 weeks old. They were living underneath the house James was renting at the time, and we were worried they’d freeze to death with winter’s arrival. You’d think being rescued by four nice humans and taken [...]
Kentucky Food – Spoonbread and Mint Juleps
If there’s one thing to know about me – it’s that I LOVE Southern food! I have an addiction to Southern food that would put Britney Spears’ Cheetos fetish to shame. So I have to say, I was almost as excited to eat while in Kentucky as I was to see the horses! While on [...]
The Cat Who Never Hissed
I live with three cats, and the only reason I know this is because the food I leave out disappears and the litter boxes I put out get full (ick). My cats are fairly reclusive (all were strays rescued as kittens) and are afraid of my German Shepherd, Izzie. They have their safe places and [...]
I Live With a Wolf
Okay, not really…but boy does my dog, Izzie, look like a wolf sometimes! I know this blog is mainly about my sassy grey, but all my animals are important to me and I wanted to introduce them to my readers as well. Izzie is a German Shepherd and probably one of the sweetest dogs I’ve [...]
