currently

wearing: collegiate sweatpants, long sleeve t-shirt, 9 year old high school hoodie, hospital socks (cause they're the warmest socks eva), & a sad bun that's starting to lean a bit left. yeah, i'm dressed to impress. wassup!! hot housewife right here!!

listening: to talyor swift's new album Red. BIG fan of T-Swift. & the occasional justin bieber song comes on. cause i'm 23 & i have the fever.

wishing: we didn't have to go grocery shopping this week. i was hoping we could make it till Thanksgiving, but M doesn't want to survive off pb&j's & ramen anymore. boo.

enjoying: a hot cup of joe.

excited: about next week. so many days to be with family & close friends. & eat an army's worth of food. nom nom nom.

worried: about finding a new job. i love my current job, but travel has been a bit harsh. most people move closer to work, but since M brings home the most bacon, it's off to something new for me. i'm usually all for new experiences but not this. this is scary.

laughing: walked in the bedroom to this.

this sort of thing never happens. both of our dogs hate being touched when they sleep. you can already tell maggie doesn't enjoy being used as kodi's body pillow. this is just so out of character & honestly a funny sight, i had to share.

please ignore our messy bed. we weren't expecting guests.

one of those bleh days

woke up this morning with pre-period cramps & a minor (but there) headache. should have known that was a sign for one of thooose days. 

when you're having one of those days, it's best to wear your biggest over-sized sweater, comfiest skinny jeans (ironic, but yes, we all have a pair), any winter scarf, & naturally, bug-eyed glasses that hide your makeup-less face. i honestly started my day with a different outfit laid out to wear. but once i put such outfit on, i immediately felt awful from every angle (if you know what i mean).

due to my whiny mood, i promised myself i would list a few things in currently thankful of/for.

//hot showers

//doggie kisses

//pamprin

//text messages from M

//chicken salad sandwiches

//& duh, oversized sweaters

i literally just smiled. thought it was tuesday, but nope. it's wednesday. the day just got better :)

hope your's did too, or better yet, hope it never started off bleh.

xoxo

our veteran's day weekend

our weekend was extra busy (for a change). we stayed at my parent's house friday night. ate a warm, home cooked meal - oh my stars that was wonderful! mom even had multiple desserts for me, but mostly for M, to devour. we slept in the king sized guest bed. what a delight. & left with more stuff than we came with (like a new tv, which we weren't planning on buying. that's how big purchases usually happen though, right?) & all day sunday we spent building a desk (more details on that later).

our weekend was so packed that i totally forgot sunday was veteran's day. i actually didn't remember about it until i read blog posts mentioning it. that's when i googled veteran's day 2012 & sure enough it was sunday.

i know i'm late, but i want to thank all the men & women who served, & currently still serve, this great country that i can call home. you sacrifice so much & should be recognized for it more often. & thank you to all the families & individuals who have supported & continue to support to our armed forces everyday.

friday letters

just read elise's post this morning. reminded me that i wanted to link up with some of y'all's awesome weekly posts. that's when i checked out ashley over at adventures of newlyweds & i was sucked in. so here i am, linking up with ashley all thanks to elise.

Dear Husband, thanks for staying at my parent's with me tonight. i know mary kay parties aren't your thing, but my mom is hosting it, i have to be there. 

Dear Maggie, your haircut is so adorable. i must admit, i'm proud of my handy work.

Dear Kodi, geez child. stop eating out of the trash can. tissues can't taste that great. 

Dear Work, can't believe you'll be over in just over a month. then i'll be unemployed (something i don't want to think about right now).

Dear Car, i swear i'm going to clean you. some day.

Dear Hair, yes, yes, it's true. M wants me to cut you. i know, he's lost his mind. i'll remind him how long it took to get you where you are today.

Dear Thanksgiving, woohoo! you're almost here. food galore!

Dear Life, please slow your bum down. i'm tired.

i haven't watched this video in a while. it's one of those that i frequently visit as a little something to make me smile & a great way to kick start the weekend. enjoy!
