Kitty Deschanel | Food, Wine, and Travel Adventures Across the USA

We're having some guest blogging fun today: Hey All! I am so happy be be here while Kitty Deschanel and her Sexy Nerd are away on their adventure. I tried but they wouldn't take me...probably because they may have read this post! So, you want to know who you are talking to right? I am Holly, and  504 Main  is my home away from home where I entertain, cook, create, and write about whatever happens to intrigue me at the moment. I want  504 Main  to be a comfortable place, the kind of place that you feel like you can stop by anytime, kick off your heels {or boots} and have a mocha...or a glass of wine {or champagne}.  Hope you enjoy the tale of my vacation.  The Only Corner To Put Baby In Was Dirty Once or twice a year, hubby and I have the same argument...where are we going on vacation? Pre Baby No. 2, the answer was Hawaii. Post baby No. 2, the thought of a 5 hour flight...the time difference...and traveling with my husband who...

Super huge, mega exciting news today! But, due to my BlogHer (awesome, by the way) agreement, I'm not technically allowed to have the giveaway right here (phooey!) Luckily, BlogHer is perfectly happy with me linking to my giveaway: Win A Le Creuset Stock Pot! LambAround's 1st Giveaway! Good luck, everyone! If I were a rich girl, I'd throw in that bottle of wine too!

In honor of our upcoming cruise (or, hey, maybe I'm already away on my cruise right this instant and merely scheduled this post ahead of time, muah ha ha), today's post is actually just a cut/paste repeat of a previous vacation. Enjoy the photos and be patient with the narrative, which was written by my teenage self. My Seychelles Post (This is actually a few posts merged together into one. Ah, the joy of being confined to an island with limited internet access for 2 weeks.) My mum is driving me nuts! She was flipping out when I was posting on MySpace last night. She said I was going to be so embarrassed when people read what I wrote and she kept yelling at me not to post it. I asked her if she knows what MySpace is and she said no. I asked her if she has read what I am posting and she said no. I think that's all I need to say, right? Yesterday, my great grandmother showed me a skirt that she made for me and was trying to get me to  take off my pa...

*Quick Update* I just noticed that I have 99 Followers ! Ooooh, it's so close to 100 that I can't stand it! Come on, bloggy buddies! You know you want to follow LambAround! Give into the urge! Okay, on to the real post: Last night, Sexy Nerd was feeling a little bit "lovey". He had candles lit and wine and suggested that I put on a sexy outfit. I changed into something skimpy, somewhat covered by an equally skimpy, see-through robe. Being Mr. Smooth Talker, he came up to me and said in his sexiest voice, "Oooh, you're wearing layers. I'll have to take them off. You're like an onion ." Fail! How does the commercial go? Rich, but not smooth. Shame he isn't rich either. *Update: Sexy Nerd just read this post and pointed out that he had not lit any candles. Take the hint, Sexy Nerd!!!

I'm going to throw a fabulous housewarming party, with all my bloggy buddies , held at the 2010 HGTV Green House. There will be a dessert buffet, as well as lots and lots of alcohol for everyone!  Aren't you excited? You're invited! (Hey, that rhymes!) Plenty of seating for everyone! The only catch, and this is just a teenie tiny, minor detail, is that I have to win the house first.  You can help! It's just like when we all wished for me to win the 2010 HGTV Dream House (except, as proven by that house being awarded to Myra Lewis instead, we all have to wish a bit harder this time, darn it!) Remember our Dream Home chant? ( clicky here if you've forgotten ) Repeat after me: "Sexy Nerd and Lamb are going to win the 2010 HGTV Green Home. They recycle. They turn off the lights when they leave a room. They compost will compost in their new Green Home. Most importantly, they will have a huge-ass party when they win!" Whoops, almost forgot: "...

Sexy Nerd has big plans for our yard this year. He also has no shame about being photographed in grungy sweatpants...outside...where all our neighbors can see him. That said, he surely won't mind me posting these photos on my blog, right? He recently installed the wire fence you see behind him. It sections off our yard into the attractive hang-out-on-the-patio area and the garden. The Garden (coming soon, I hope!) Sexy Nerd is hoping to grow an assortment of fruits and vegetables this year, including tomatoes, jalapeños, watermelon, kale, cantaloupe, bell peppers, cucumbers, and strawberries. By fencing off half the yard, he has effectively prevented his crops from being devoured by pests. Garden-Munching Pests For maximum enjoyment of the patio section, we have our handy dandy bug zapper! Betcha didn't know people actually use these. Neither did I. Welcome to Albuquerque! So, what's the best feature of our backyard? Is it that miniature...
