Random January

Wow, what a year it has been and it is only January, yikes! I hope its getting me ready for amazing things to come. I have been trying to be a better me and with that comes tackling Miss Sprinkles, as soon as I start something this is what she does, plops right into my lap or does circles underneath me. Very entertaining!

I found this quote that I think is very fitting, now if Tim only agreed to this. (I know my sis-in-law Kelley would totally agree)

Yes, Carrie Bradshaw, that is where I like to see my money too!

A few weeks ago I had an eye appt. and realized that we have issues, not horrible issues  but big enough to need some help reading on computers. Here is what we came up with. 

So far they are working nicely, I wear them mostly at school but sometimes its nice to see at home too:) 

I have had a wild hair of cooking lately, this is what I started Thursday since we had a snow day

  I thought of making dough to have pizza night with the Webbs' (my brother and sister in-law) and then this happened Friday morning

with a lovely water leak  we cancelled pizza night. (Tim and I did pizza for dinner on Sunday, super yummy!!)

Little Miss was being a ghost pug, silly girl

since we woke up to a water leak we both were a little frazzled so naturally  I didn't get my usual Starbucks Friday. All day I was wanting caffeine, remember go back to the part I am working on a better me (I only drink water throughout the day) so as a reward of making it through an awkward week and finishing my day with all my students I got a coke, big moments! 

At our local grocery store you can earn points for shopping with them and at the end of the point collecting you can receive a piece of cookware. 

Well I finally got mine along with paying the remaining $37 to get it, oh and a nice drink for my efforts, Starbucks Sunday!! 

Oh along with getting glasses I also got a new do, for right now I am loving it, I get tired of things like my hair very quickly. Not the best picture but you can kind of tell.

That was a lot of randomness but it got it all out there, have a fabulous Wednesday!! 

Delayed Christmas Break recap

      Well I have loved my 2 week break and wasn't quite ready to come back. But as I am remembering in the summer it's such a long break that i usually am ready to go back to work, this was not the case.
     OK, our Christmas was wonderfully  filled with family, food, conversation, and shopping. The break started with me being diligent with going to the gym in the morning and running errands (finishing up Christmas shopping), this is not how it ended, due to weather. I got this cute monogram half zip sweater from Prep Obsessed, such a cute store so I have maybe worn it out this break. But it was great for running errands and hanging around the house.

You know me, I love anything with a monogram.


 Tim worked the first week of my break and was off the second, we made some pretty big plans for that second week. Tim received some upsetting news that his grandfather had passed away. This is always such a hard thing to handle individually and then to try and support your spouse in it is also hard. After he heard the news it was a mad dash to look for ways to be with family, since we live where we do and the service was where it was, he would need to be gone for a week. I am so grateful he had the time to be there with everyone and have family time with relatives he doesn't get to see much. With him going for that long  I didn't feel comfortable leaving for that long, needing arrangements for the pup and missing the first day back seemed overwhelming at the time. So I stayed and held down the fort, had lunch with the BEST mother-in-law a couple of times, had some friend time, rested and I got completely caught up with Parenthood so I am ready for the last few episodes. I finally got a new phone (I love anything new), did a little online shopping, watched church online since it snowed and I wasn't brave enough to venture out alone.

    Phewww! I feel like a lot went on overall. Needless to say I am glad to have the hubby back home for more reasons than I can count. This is what our evening looked like when he made it home.

I guess I had a tired little family needing to sleep on me. :)
