On top of this thing... for today!

February 23

I visited Great Miami Outfitters... you know, to just BE in a place full of outdoor gear I cannot afford but desperately want.  =)

Alas, I bought me some new shoes!  These are my shoes for my next big trek.  I CANNOT WAIT.  Then to top it off I came home and googled them (they are from a company I wasn't familiar with)... and they are not only made by a great small company in Montana (hello Bozeman!  I still love you!), they are also SUPER committed to sustainable development, environmental well being, and generally protecting the trails. SO now, I am in love with them... hopefully my feet will be in love with them too!  I am going to wear them tonight to Kroger... here's hopin it goes well!

Carrie sent me these important words in the midst of some hard days.

Thank you Carrie.

February 25

It was Carol's Birthday and we celebrated with some of the fam at Giuliani's.  Our family used to love this place when it was just down the street in Englewood and called Anticoli's.  The new place isn't the same, but the food is good and it's really nice.  Change is good.

This afternoon I was supposed to be doing my taxes.  In the end I did finish my federal ones (WOO HOO!) but alas, Pinterest sucked me in and I still need to work on state and local.  Darn you Pinterest. 

Many days... in which I take pictures but slack at posting...

Valentine's Day came to Starbucks today in the form of "Love" cups.

Sweet.

 February 3

The next day, Valentine's Day puked all over Kroger... including at the end of my lane.

Awesome... ish.

February 4

A morning at home?  Craft time!

February 5

This is how Shea thought he needed to sleep this morning when I woke up... leaving no room for me.
Love/hate that dog!

February 6

This morning?  This is where I found him.

Annoying dog! 

February 7

I do NOT have pink-eye.

Allergies.

They have me actually wishing it would snow.

Crazy eh? 

February 8

Rice Krispie treats... all made and ready for Katie, I mean Brady's birthday.

=)

February 9

I had Panera coffee with Betsie.

A bit of a traitor I guess.

It's not as good as the 'bux.

Truly. 

February 10

I also made cake pops for the party...

except I couldn't find my sticks, so they are cake balls instead!

February 11

Drove to Louisville for Brady's first birthday...

Baby Abby wore my bling.

Funny. 

February 12

At work tonight I got Naked and took a picture...

no sick-o!  I mean, Naked the juice!  It's supposed to be good for you!

February 13

I used to get up every day for work and slop on a hoodie and some jeans.

Now I have to wear a "uniform"... these are what are a daily part of my day... to get myself presentable.

February 14

My only Valentine card this year.

Thanks Carrie Sue!

So appropriate!

February 15th

Sick Shea.

He was NOT impressed that I good him to the vet.

He lived! 

February 16

Today I realized that nearly everything I eat is just a carrier....

a carrier of peanut butter.

I have an obsession.

Kinda wrong.

Kinda.

February 17

Didn't like this cereal, which is suprprising, considering I LOVE cereal.

Bought it none the less.... decent... no great.

February 18

Pancakes?

Anyway you can get them to me!

February 19

I used to make fancy butterflies, now I have become lazy... this is all I do.

Lame?  Yes.

Yummy?  ABSOLUTELY

February 20

One of my favorite parts of Monday?

TIPS at the 'bux.  YAY!

Product Transfer girl?  That's me. 

Lucky me. 

Not.       

Staying caught up... for today

Jan. 29

Nickolas has to dress up as Abraham Lincoln for school and give a report.

I was nominated to help him make his costume.

I think he may look more like an amish person, but still, he makes me laugh. 

Crazy boy.

Jan. 30

The lovely Becky Gray went on a trip with me once.  We flew in an airplane where Becks learned that I LOVE airplane cookies.  We met for a quick dinner (with the lovely Charlotte Gray) tonight and BECKS BROUGHT ME COOKIES.  Same as you get on the airplane.

BECKY GRAY IS THE BEST!  She remembered... LOVE.

Jan. 31

Kroger Fuel Center.

I am training here.

It is not fun.

However, I can literally sit for hours and do nothing.  Seems like a waste of my time, 

but when the baggers are really annoying inside I don't mind it too much.

Feb. 1

 Peanut Butter Cheerios.

Because apparently General Mills thinks I am the greatest thing ever.

Obviously they just wanted to make me very, very happy..

Seriously, they are so good.  I eat them for lunch every day at work.

LOVE.
