Today marks 2.5 years that I’ve been with Mark [ the wonder-bred italian boy ]. It feels like sooooo much longer. Is that a bad thing?
Heres a few of my favorite photos of us. Some might be from before we were dating (who’s counting?).
Night of the Living Prom (February 2010) [...]
Happy Monday morning!
I had a rough start to the day. My shoes fell out of my bag on the way to work on my bike this morning. And it was windy. So I’m windblown and sweaty.
But that’s okay. You know why? Because I have some caffeine in me. And I’ve got a cool [...]
I love Iron and Wine. Not a HUGE fan of their last album, but this song, Jezebel, is one of my favorites. Likely because it reminds me of the time just before Mark and I started dating … he played this on his guitar quite a bit.

A week later, but oh well.
Last weekend Mark and I trekked to western Illinois to a beautiful little town called Galena. I’d been there several times before and we were really just looking to find somewhere nice to go and get away from things. It was his birthday on Saturday so we planned a [...]

Mark was challenged last weekend. The task: make dinner without going to the grocery store. He could only use what I had in the apartment.
Could he do it?
Was there really any question? This kid knows his stuff. He pulled through. And in a fancy way.
I’m not including a [...]
I’ve decided to steal a pun we came up with at work and use it on my blog. Wonder-Bred. It makes sense.
Anyway, it’s another installment of Wonder-Bred Italian Boy ™ Cooks. Again — he came up with the idea and I executed. It was my turn to cook since he made an awesome pizza [...]
Hi there. I'm Calee. Not Caylee. Also known as chimes or the chimes. I'm 27, a designer, a runner, a self-proclaimed fitness queen, a craftster, a foodie, a music snob — some might call me a hipster. Here's the unabridged version.
