I love today.

Today happens to be the second Thursday in a row 

I had off work and it has been one of my favorite days. 

Since Jason has been deep in grad schooling for the past year, especially this last semester, we haven't gotten to spend a whole lot of time together. Since we both had the day off today, we got to have some quality time! This morning Jason dropped me off at the gym while he went to his chiropractor appointment, and as much as I love the gym, for a minute I panicked that I couldn't just get in my car and leave when I decided I was tired. I was suddenly trapped! Then I realized that worst case scenario, I would just sit in the giant hand shaped chairs and watch Maury without sound until Jason came back to get me. Fortunately, that thought only lasted a second and I had a great workout. 

Then we went to Trader Joe's!

How have I never been there before?? It was like Mecca for cheap health food, and a little theme-parky. Doesn't get much better than that in my book, although, I made the mistake of telling an employee it was our first time there, so Jason and I had to wait it out as he explained to a vegan and seafood hater that his favorite thing they sold was this crab-stuffed flounder and then described anything and everything you could serve with it. 45 minutes later we left the store with some delicious bean dip and a bottle of sweet chili sauce. 

The rest of the day consisted of :

Jason making a vegan lunch for us. (All by himself!)

A little shopping for some new dress clothes for Jason's new job!

R&R at a coffee shop patio table. (Do people still say r&r??)

And an afternoon nap. 

I forgot to mention that all of this was so wonderful coming off of the worst hour of my life last night when THERE WAS A GIANT A** SPIDER IN MY CAR AND THEN TWO ON OUR BEDROOM CEILING WHEN WE GOT HOME!!!! Caps lock doesn't even begin to help describe my deep emotion over this. 

That's all for now.

May???

I haven't blogged in such a long time and it makes me sad. 

So, LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE!!!!!

(Nothing but letdown after that opening.)

First of all, Jason just earned his masters degree AND has a job!! That man makes me proud. Best part is my family came up to see him graduate, which provided entertainment for the hours and hours and hours we waited to see what looked like it may have been him, get handed a diploma. Weee!

Other notable activities of late:

I painted our kitchen table without asking Jason. Fortunately it turned out well and I didn't get in trouble for that. I used white chalkboard paint and got this awesome antique look!

I made a new logo for my etsy shop and blog. Cuuuuteee!!

My boss Jen had a birthday. 

I bought her those balloons and cupcakes - just wanted to make sure there was no confusion about how awesome I am. 

And last but not least, I am competing in the Mrs. Ohio Pageant this year! Wish me luck!!
