Simple Saturday

Today we enjoyed the simple pleasures:

having a clean apartment
drinking a cold coke after a hard day
spending time together

With Love

We had some fun tonight getting Kristin's care package ready to send her way. We worked hard on it and I may be biased, but it is incredible.

Andrew had to work tonight and I am sad. We don't see too much of each other these days.

I am so glad its the weekend and I am looking forward to having a break from work. We have a lot of plans for this weekend. You'll see.

Cornchip Thursday

Went to the mall today and got Andrew some new pants and Tillie a winter coat. Cute, huh?

Today is National Cornchip Day. Eat a few and celebrate the wonderful snack that salsa's best friend.

We are tired today. We worked hard and we played even harder. I'm so glad tomorrow is Friday.

Just another day

Andrew has been so hard at work lately preparing for his new job and going to school. He's got a lot on his plate right now but I am so proud of him.

Looking into vacation spots lately and getting very excited about the possibilities that are open to us this summer. Maybe its all the ice and cold weather, but I am desperately seeking someplace warm.

I am also dreaming about this little gadget.

All work and some play

The roads were covered in ice this morning so I spent the day working from home. It was a nice break and I feel like I got a lot accomplished. There is supposed to be more severe winter weather coming our way tonight.

I'm really digging the City Sage's Blogger Book Love series right now. She has different writers/designers/bloggers post about their favorite reads. The ones I have added to my must read list are:
Marjorie Morningstar by Herman Wouk
Moonfleet by J. Meade Falkner
No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency by Alexander Smith
Eyewitness Auschwitz by Filip Muller
The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls

Check these out and more on this website.

Chinese New Year

Happy Chinese New Year! It's the year of the ox. And what better way to celebrate than curling up with a cup of hot cocoa on a frozen night.

While you're enjoying your night in, please enjoy this also.

Fun but Freezing

We have been in decoration mode for the past few days. We got a new runner for our entry way, some new shelves, and finally hung a lot of the pictures that had been hanging out around the baseboards for months. I feel so productive. I am still playing around with the placement of things and all the little details, but I am much happier with how things are looking.

Tyler came and spent the afternoon with us playing Call of Duty and snacking. He brought Tillie some treats that he got especially for her. How sweet is that?

I also got to spend some time with my friends tonight to celebrate Gary's birthday. We had American Pie Pizza and then went back to their house for cake. It was fun. Happy Birthday, Gary.
