eek!

Look who I found lurking around on my porch this Halloween.

This guy is pretty massive, and as long as he stays outside and not in my house he's cool with me. Maybe he'll scare away the trick-or-treaters. I didn't buy any candy for them so I hope that's the case. Am I the mean lady on the block or what? Oh well.

cheers to ten years!

So exactly ten years ago today...yeah that's right TEN... I met a boy that I later married.

The story of how we met is actually quite funny. The short version is that I was on a date with another guy who introduced me to my future husband that night at the movies. It must have meant something because he kept the ticket stub all these years.

It may have taken us three years after meeting to actually start dating, and six more past that till we were married, but I feel very blessed to have a decade of friendship with my husband. Love you!

mixed up

Top: Old Navy, Scarf: Forever 21, Jeggings: Target, Bag: Target, Boots: Target

So this morning I woke up with my husband's alarm and had every intention to make the most of the day. Then I fell back asleep. By the time noon rolled around I was feeling horribly guilty about what I had done with my day, which was absolutely nothing. So...I ate a bar of chocolate for breakfast and pulled myself out of lazy mode. Not that I really managed to get all that much done anyway, but I did reorganize my closet, no small feat. And I successfully, well in my opinion anyway, made meatloaf for dinner. Hot and on the table when the husband got home.

daylight savings


After many days of gloomy cold rainy weather we finally got a break. And I finally got a break from feeling super sick and gross. It was a much needed Saturday of sun filled errand running with the husband. It seemed like everyone needed this day. As we drove around town people were out and about walking dogs, walking babies in their strollers, laying in the leaves on the grass. Please please let this not be our last shot of delightfulness before long cold dark days set in.

My good friend asked me to bunny sit over the weekend so that was one of our stops. I cannot get enough of this cuddle bun. She is the sweetest. I don't think people typically think of bunnies being that social or playful of a pet to have, but man they are so much fun.

This is me patiently waiting for our takeout order to be ready.....patience...patience...
I was REALLY ready to eat.

Ummm...can you now understand why? This burger was sooo good and HUGE! I couldn't stop thinking about it all night and want another now. Pretzel bun, fried jalapenos and onions, oh the deliciousness, I may be in love.

cough it up

So I apologize for the lack of posts lately...but I have been sick and not really feeling mentally up to it. I don't know if it's the medicine I take or the congestion in my head that makes everything all fuzzy, but I am totally off my game right now. Today, for instance, is trash day and my husband always takes it out in the morning before he goes to work. Well, this morning he popped his head back into the bedroom to inform me that he had pulled silverware out of the trash and that I had done it. So I am apparently not with it these days. Never fear though, I shall recover, but until then, I think I will take my place snuggled back in bed with the cats.
