I’ll leave you with snaps from my wonderful, low-key weekend because I’m too tired from work and being sick to write a full recap. I have a cold/cough and found out I also have an infection – the antibiotics are already destroying my stomach:( Plus, I’m too excited to focus on writing a post right now because…. I GOT A JOB. I GOT A JOB. I GOT A JOB! Wooohoooooooo. I just found out a few hours ago and am…

Oh hey. Happy spring. And happy 60th birthday to my mom! I’m very jealous that she’s celebrating with the rest of the fam! It’s been a busy week here, and I loved it! I had a bunch of interviews Wednesday and started working at Equinox this week. Although I’ve been substitute teaching since the fall, it’s been less consistent lately and I just needed more steady income. It’s also nice to have more structure to my week, as it looks…
Hosting Christmas in Dallas was a blast, but boy am I exhausted. Matt’s parents and sister and my parents and sister, husband, and family were all here!! Everyone arrived on Christmas Eve, so I prepped a big spread of food in the townhouse where they were staying. We were up late eating appetizers and drinking beer, hot apple cider, and egg nog (I thought the almond kind was pretty good with bourbon!). I made bbq pork shoulder in the crockpot…
Happy Labor Day! I’m enjoying a fun-filled weekend with my parents, who are visiting Dallas! I introduced my mom to the beer-rita at the Katy Trail Ice House! She’s now requesting them at Christmas dinner. It’s our last hurrah in this extended wedding-honeymoon-Dallas summer extravaganza, because I’m starting work tomorrow and Matt starts next Monday. I’ve always felt really uncomfortable with unemployment and I promised myself I’d take my time with this search so that I could find the right…
Exercise used to be my time to clear my head – now it’s the time that my to-do list fills my head and ruins my me time. We’ve been eating giant salads over here, because they are quick and easy and good for wedding bodies. Work got crazy this week, which can be expected for this time of year – what is it about the end of school and kids acting crazy? Sleep and I are BFF. I’m going to…
I feel like I’m in this peaceful period – the calm before the storm. This winter has been relatively slow in terms of plans and events, and while I know things are about to be super busy, I’ve just been enjoying going to work, slowly making my way through the giant to-do list that is the wedding, and taking pleasure in the slow pace of the cold season. Here’s what I’ve been loving lately: I’ve been trying to work out…
Not just any Thursday, it was back to work day. Waking up was horrible but once I got there it felt quite good to have a purpose to my day! Leftover jambalaya for lunch definitely spiced things up:) It was not a good day for the heat to stop working in the building. My students have to take exams next week – no matter how bad going back to work feels, nothing is worse than taking tests!!! I know, I…
I’ve learned to make a copy of my posts to prevent Ecto from eating them…unless it’s late at night and I’m tired and I forget. And it’s always those nights that posts are consumed:( So, I apologize for last night’s post. So today I had another holiday party! This time, instead of psychologists, it was the exceptional students staff at one of my schools. And this party had adult beverages:) We went to a local bar and they had half…
Lovely – Ecto ate another post. AHHHHHHHH. The gist: I went to a holiday party and ate pizza. I tried to run with the pizza in my stomach and it jiggled around too much. I organized all the Christmas gifts I’ve purchased with bags and tissue. I enjoy the challenge of shopping for gifts even when I’m baffled about what to buy. I know a lot of people are moving towards not exchanging gifts to save time and money, but…
