Join in me in a collected sigh of relief
This week…gah…it’s been rough.
This week has been one of those one step forward, two steps back kind of weeks. We all have them, and they are the worst.
I’ve been playing catch up all week with work and still feel behind and for one reason or another, I’ve felt distant (like a thousand miles away) from everyone around me.
So, if you too had a long, lonely, rough...
A Decade
When you came, you were like red wine and honey, And the taste of you burnt my mouth with its sweetness. Now you are like morning bread, Smooth and pleasant. I hardly taste you at all for I know your savour, But I am completely nourished.
- Amy Lowell
I’m not much for poems but this one…this one I saved ever since I read it in my high school English class.

Leggings kind of day
It’s cold, gray and sleeting outside…I want to wear leggings.
For me, leggings are the comfort food of clothes. They just make me feel warm and cuddly and they are my go to when I can’t make up my mind about what to wear. I don’t care what other people say about them, as long as they aren’t transparent they are pants…
I also wore another comfort item of...
I thought a bird was caught in my chimney...
Until I realized the clattering sounds coming from my fireplace were actually being caused by the frozen rain coming down outside.

Baby dreams and waking up screaming...
Last night I dreamed I had a baby boy. It was very real and the plot line read like an episode from I Didn’t Know I Was Pregnant.
In my dream I was thrilled with my new addition but I woke up with a terrified scream and in a cold sweat.
Despite the fact that I love babies and do one day want one, I DO NOT want one right now. My husband and I want to do things…like travel, make two...

Lessons on marriage
Everyone told me ‘marriage is full of surprises’. Especially for a couple like us, who didn’t live together before we got married.
For the most part, we knew each others quirks and foibles. Like how my husband likes to leave half full (*wink*) glasses of water around the apartment like that little girl from Signs. If Earth is ever attacked by water-soluble aliens just send...

My 5x5x5
So my husband and his buddies still get a spring break. Perk of still being a full-time student.
We WERE going to get a beach house in Florida with a group of friends and spend 5 days laying out on the beach, BBQing, and drinking.
Those plans fell through. I spent a whole day pouting about it. (define: adult)
I had made plans. Plans that included new beach clothes and working out 5 days a week...

Likes and their varied meanings
I was just pondering the little heart by each tumblr post. It can have so many meanings…
I like this
I sympathize with this
This is too freaking cute!
I’m sorry about that
This made me laugh
These words could have easily been my own
Totally jealous
I also want this thing/outfit/meal
I wonder if people know what I mean when I click that little heart…
I wish tumblr had...

We're inappropriate.
Scene:
The other night Mark and I were out at a bar together to help celebrate a birthday (all dental students because those are pretty much the only people we know).
At the bar we sat at a round table (4 chairs) with a couple of our friends. As more people arrive we push the tables together to make room causing Mark and I to no longer be sitting by each other but rather across from one...

Copy Cat
I originally saw the photo below on Tall Girl Tales and immediately decided I would copy it.
Why did I decide to copy it?
Mostly because I could… I went through a mental check list - black scarf (check), jeans (check), slouchy gray tee (check), yellow shoes (check)…All of that equaled an outfit I could replicate with little to no effort. Done-zo.

Valentine's Day Dinner
For Valentine’s Day my husband and I don’t exchange gifts, we just make that day about spending time together and eating a ridiculously good meal.
This year we wanted to save money so we stayed in and dined (also didn’t want to bother with reservations). I made broiled lobster tail, asparagus, and rice pilaf with chocolate covered strawberries for dessert. Alcohol was also...

Guess who was making chocolate covered...

I totally had a t-shirt and a necklace on earlier, but apparently my eye make-up remover leaked and my necklace sat in the mess. Wearing said necklace caused a gross greasy stain on my t-shirt, so…..I changed.
I also felt kind of lazy with my hair, I slept in a bun and for some reason when I woke up this morning I was digging the messy bun look, so voila.

Some completely awesome plans just fell through and I could not be more distraught about it.

Last night's happy hour...
Was maybe too happy…
I thought if you sobered up before the end of the night you didn’t get a hangover the next day.
I was wrong.
Belated
My coworker gave me my belated Christmas present today. We could just never get in to the office at the same time and I wouldn’t let her ship it to me. Today the stars aligned and we finally figured it out our Christmas present problem.
So we’ve got…
