Don't worry, I'm alive.
I knew you were worried.

I’m running to the grocery store to grab some essentials to get us through a week of being snowed in. I’m hoping going before noon will lessen my chances of being trampled or being pummeled to death over the last loaf of bread.
Wish me luck.

Getting rid of my single girl tendencies
Before I got married I lived alone for two years. Yes, we were one of those couples that didn’t live with one another before we got married but we dated for 5+ years so lets not kid ourselves, extended sleepovers happened.
As a girl living by herself I developed certain habits…crazy, neurotic girl habits. Like closing my bedroom door every night before I go to bed. It had to be shut,...

Good for you— I rarely get out of my yoga pants! What do you do that you work from home?
I work in marketing, specifically web communications. As long as I have a laptop in front of me I can do my job.

I survived
I survived the trip from St. Louis to Kansas City last night despite icy roads and light snow. It took me longer and 40% of the time I was guessing where the road was because the snow was drifting across the road, obscuring the pavement and lines, but I made it back.
Next time, St. Louis, no snow days. I only got in one social call with a friend and didn’t even bother with any of the others...
I forgot to bring my sunglasses and I’m pretty sure my drive back to KC will require them.
Also, I’m semi-terrified to drive home to KC today. For someone who grew up in Iowa I get very nervous when traveling on snow covered roads.
Confession
I’m trying to trick convince my sister she wants to have a baby soon after marriage just so I can have a niece or nephew to shower with affection (and dress up like a doll).
Mark and I want kids…in 4 or 5 years.
Oddly, I don’t feel guilty about it at all. I really want to be an aunt. I also want Mark and I to take pictures with our theoretical half Asian niece/nephew and...
Scratch that
Too much trouble trying to slog through the snow to get out of my in-laws. Working from their house. Depressing.
Score
2 hour delay opening up the office? I’ll take it.
Snow day
I am probably the only person in St. Louis right now hoping to not have a snow day from work tomorrow.
I came to St. Louis to work in the office, see my awesome coworkers, and attend some face to face meetings. Driving 4.5 hrs just to end up working from home in another city sounds devastatingly depressing.

Cookie wars
Girl Scout cookies are selling now. I’m enjoying the cookie wars developing within the office - coworkers competing to get their daughter’s cookie sell sheet out first.

TMI Tuesday
Every time I see someone wearing fur apparel I have a sudden urge to pet them.
I blame Pat the Bunny and all childhood ‘texture’ books.

Studying
I cannot take the judgmental stares my husband is shooting me.
I was studying for the GMAT (which I plan on taking in February) but then tumblr happened. Sorry Mr. Dentist husband, I don’t relish study time like you do.
Also - I seem to have forgotten what it is to study. This does not bode well.

Yippy skippy
I have today off.
Having some ‘me time’ before I head to St. Louis.
Cozy socks and bubble baths are in the future.
St. Louis bound
I’m headed back next week to spend some time in the St. Louis office.
For those who don’t know me, I used to live and work in St. Louis but then I got married and then my husband got into dental school (in Kansas City). Great news for him, not great news for me - I loved living in St. Louis and I loved my job. Living in two different cities was out of the question but I didn’t...
Perspective.
When I was a child I was absolutely devastated when I discovered my father could never be president of the United States (a job I thought he would be great at; also, I want to be first kid and boss around Sinbad).
My father could not be president because he wasn’t born in the U.S., my father was born in New Ross, Ireland.
I think it’s funny that as a child I thought of his birthplace...
Planning ahead... Menu this week
My husband and I eat at home almost every day - it’s healthier and cheaper than eating out all the time…and I love cooking.
I usually craft out a week’s worth of meals and make sure I have all the ingredients, after that, it’s set in stone. God help you if you throw my menu off…say, by eating the same thing for lunch.
I decided to share this week’s menu...
