Thoughts from a Thursday

Happy Valentine’s and Galantine’s my friends (although judging from the comments on my last post, some of you are definitely not my friends…joking, kind of).

-I’m pro-Valentine’s because February is a dreary month and it gives us an excuse to eat some kind of dessert and be extra gushy. Matt’s traveling today, but we enjoyed a date night this past weekend at Haymaker and called that our celebration. I also snuck some treats in Matt’s work bag.

-Emerson was sick on Monday/Tuesday and school was cancelled another day (due to an event), so we have had a lot of time at home together this week.  I helped her make her first Valentines for her class and she was so serious about the project:)

-I’m reading Becoming (did I already mention this?) and I’m loving it! There is so much fun behind-the-scenes info about the presidency that I find fascinating and I think even more highly of the Obamas after reading it.

-My parents are coming this weekend, and I’m looking forward to seeing them and showing them around the neighborhood. Too bad it’s supposed to rain the entire time:(

-I saw this cookie cake (it was nearly 2 inches thick) at Whole Foods and the gf version is all I really want in life.  Did anyone else used to get a slice  from those cookie places at the mall?

-Yall, I did the dumbest thing. I accidentally bought caffeine free chai tea  and went cold turkey without even realizing it.  I’ve been super tired in the mornings and having headaches at night, and then I noticed the label on the box.  I’ve been drinking one cup of caffeine for probably 10 years, so I’m sure my body was confused.

-Another funny story – a cop showed up at my house saying he was so glad to report he had uncovered my stolen package in the back of a man’s car (said man was arrested for cocaine and stolen plates).  I had no idea it had been stolen earlier that day, and it contained three bars of soap:)

-We have a rat living in our crawlspace and pest control has been unsuccessful in attempts to remove him.  I know because I can hear him scratching at the floorboards every day.

-I haven’t bought any new clothes in as long as I can remember. I feel like athleisure is taking over my life, which is both good and bad. Anyway, I scheduled a Stitchfix (<–referral link) in hopes I can find a few pieces that are one step up from gym clothes and can get me to spring.

See ya.
