dun dun dun.....

i woke up this morning to a feeling of dread and impending doom. i have some theories as to why i feel this way...but for the most part i'm just holding my breath until i go to bed tonight hoping that i'm still alive when i actually get to go to sleep.

this leads me to my Monday Marvels post  for the day...Chilly shared some awesomeness with me in the form of a FedEx commercial. Please enjoy and pray that the impending doom does not become the reality doom of Alishka Babushka. thank you.

Friday love

I realize it has been over a week since I have last posted, but with my (FABULOUS) three-day weekend, a crappy work-week and just not feeling posty I haven't written anything.

However, I do feel a surge of posts coming up and I will do my best to keep you entertained. However, if you're ever feeling the need to be entertained and I'm not cutting it out for you, you can always click on one of the links to the right...they're pretty awesome.

And now for some Friday Fill-in love.

1. Johnny Weir does weird things, but I like it.
2. I haven't watched much, but I'm enjoying the 2010 Olympics.
3. And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud hurt more than the risk to bloom.
4. I like presents and you can send me one  if you get an urge.
5. Having sweet dreams makes waking up in the morning EXTREMELY difficult.
6. What does it take for spring to get here? I need sunshine pronto.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to What About Bob? with Chilly and friends, tomorrow my plans include a date w/SwingKid and Sunday, I want to make something yummy!

loves

I have so many reasons why I love SwingKid. These reasons seem to mulitply frequently and I'm always surprised to look back and just see how much my love for him has grown.

Today, I add another reason why I love this boy: He makes really good lasagna.  :o)

While that might seem slightly superficial to some, for me it's just another thing that makes me smile while sitting at my desk. I love being able to escape my work world for a little lunch date with my man, and today's lunch date consisted of lasagna he had made.

SwingKid is such a kind and loving person and I count my blessings every day that I get to be apart of his life each day.

 I love you babe, Happy Valentine's Day

Oh how i love Fridays....

Fridays are pretty much the best day ever. Life is pretty good around these parts and I'm very happy.

Now for some Friday Fill-in stuff.


1. Pickles are my favorite condiment. In fact, I always ask for extra pickles at burger joints.
2. Looooveee at home. (see the song here)
3. The snow is not really existent here in UT, but my family in VA has over 2 feet of the stuff.
4.I love being in nature. I can't wait for it to be warmer so I can sit outside during the lunch hour.
5. It's 5:16 PM; that means I'm teaching ballet. :o).
6. Good wire for wreaths is hard to find.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to date night!, tomorrow my plans include taking Sister B out to dinner for her b-day and hopefully Princess and the Frog at the dollar movies and Sunday, I want to go to some meetings and enjoy the evening with SwingKid!
