So! Mom flew away today, after a really nice week in the city together. This was her third visit to our little city and in my opinion, the best so far. The other times, I was so overwhelmed with work - sweating bullets over Comcast and eating my stress away with buckets of Poptarts - and didn't know the city well enough yet to find the good stuff; feeling relaxed and in-the-know goes far. Plus, it was my birthday and I got many cupcakes and birthday presents and my Mom cleaned the apartment with Method stuff while I toiled away at classes! I will seriously miss waking up to a bowl of already-made oatmeal and coming home to a cup of tea and dinner in the oven. A visit from Mom does a body good.
And now, I've got a leisurely weekend with the hubs-band ahead of me. I ran around a lot this week, having the fun, so it'll be nice to sit and then sit a little more and then play some Rockband. I also just got 5 new books out of the library and want to read them all at once. One set of eyes is so limiting, no?
1.) Candied pecans. Thought I hated these suckers, but ate them tonight in a salad and couldn't stop shoveling them in.
2.) Getting off the pill. A huge decrease in headaches and a huge increase in, uh, wanting to do, uh...romantic things. You kind of forget how stuff's supposed to work after 12 years on the stuff.
3) Lime rickeys.
4.) Stripes.
5.) Christina Aguilera. I can't help it, people - I love that woman.
#2 - Bring on the babies!!! And yay for no more headaches.

ReplyDeleteAhaha! Sorry, hubby, for starting my own rumor. Oh wait! Actually I'm *not* sorry, seeing as you publicly told your coworkers I'd "pulled the goalie." (!!!)
ReplyDeleteAll's fair in love and war, hammy!
P.S. Don't expect any babies exactly 9 or 10 months from now, friends, but past that....we'll see!
birthday? whaaat??! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
ReplyDeletemom + cupcakes + birthday presents, sounds perfect :)
i want to get off the pill really bad. i mean, i'm hormonal & crazy enough as it is ..i don't need that to add to the mix. i'd be worried about ..accidents though. as much as i like babies (and their smell, and smiles and coos) we aren't ready for one yet.
thanks!!
ReplyDeleteyeah, i gots all old and stuff. 27! blergh!
being off the pill has been a really good change for me, both physically and mentally. i got on it sophomore year of high school, so it's been a WHILE since my bod just did its own thing. i feel like my mood is a lot better, too...
that being said...accidents suck! you have to be super careful when you're off it and it's definitely a pain. you could always try a really low-dose hormone pill...poor girls, we get all the b/c responsibility!
