Sick Day

Woke up this morning with one massive migraine. Guess that means I have not been drinking enough water. This fun fact is probably true because I only tend to drink my recommended daily dose if I drink it out of my favorite water bottle with it's built in straw. And since I am only two weeks out from that lovely experience of having my wisdom teeth ripped out of my head I can not yet use a straw. So, work was a no go today as this lovely migraine is still lingering around, not as intensely but still here none the less.

Morelli has enjoyed the day since me staying home means he gets to be out of his kennel all day. He spent his morning outside on the tie out enjoying the wonderful weather, while I slept off the worst part of my migraine.

I did have a very long to do list for when I got home tonight after work so....it's officially past three, i've showered now, and am going to have to ease my way through some of the tasks I decided to put off to the last minute. Morelli's finally napping in the sun so I have the chance to do some much needed homework and reading for classes without his consent begging to play fetch.

Ahh if only a sick day home from work really meant just that, home from work. Instead I have to make sure I do homework. Blahh....

Hope you all are healthy and enjoying this lovely weather we're experiencing before March comes in like a lion and sucker punches us in the face.


Back to homework, reading, water, and napping.
Take care!

Happy Vday!

Happy Valentines day all! I am not, nor have I ever, been a huge fan of this holiday. I think it's a bit corny and over done. But I will wish you all a very happy Valentines anyway.

I have a busy day planned with a hot date for both Morelli and me. One of my college roommates is coming to visit tonight and bringing her pup for a play date. The weather has just been so amazing we figured that we could get together and let Morelli and her dog Jake (a miniature Australian Shepherd) stretch their legs. So after work I'll be making a quick run to the grocery stores for some food and wine, and then home to greet Liz and Jake.

If it's not to muddy we'll be taking the boys to the dog park and then home to make turkey lime burgers with guacamole, oven fries, Lizzie's homemade lemon bars, wine and The Bachelor.

Turkey Lime Burger with guacamole

Oven Fries!!!

lemon bars... yes please

 

ahh vino



Monday's are almost my favorite night of the week, because of the Bachelor, but having a great dinner with Liz and my roommate make this Monday one for the books! Can't quite commit to Monday's being my favorite day because I have so many other shows that I love and who doesn't love a great Friday at 5:00?? 

Well, my lunch break is over so back to work!

May your Valentines Day be a good one  full of laughter, chocolate, and puppy dog kisses!!!!



Spring has sprung and the winds of change smell sweet!

Well the weather is amazing out!!!! Morelli and I went for our first really significant run yesterday. Man werre both out of shape!! Morelli really enjoyed getting out of the house and splashing in mud puddles. He came back just drenched. So he was carried upstairs and given a bath. After playing outside again this afternoon I got to do more heavy lifting and lugged him back upstairs for bath number 2. I haven't weighed him in a few months but he is not the lightest thing to carry up a flight of stairs. On the plus side he is a pro at taking baths now and I think he's really starting to love them.

I am so excited that snow is melting and we can be outside again. I was worried this winter would be horrible like last years, but I don't think it's been that bad at all. So now with this beautiful weather it's time to turn my pup and myself into runners!!!

I have to say, if we do not get any more snowstorms, this winter wasn't much to suffer through for being my last winter in the Midwest. As the weather is getting warmer it also makes me realize how soon I will be moving. I have so much to get in line and figure out before the big move. Job, apartment, exact moving date. You know just the minor details. However, dispite all the hard work ahead I have never been more excited to start a new chapter in my life!!!!!!!! So stay tuned for the next chapter... moving to Texas ya'll!!!!

Planning a trip to Dallas soon to see my sis and brother in law. The trip will include a much needed road trip  and scavenger hunt through Austin to find the perfect place to live!

Austin Texas... soon to be my new stomping grounds!! 

Road trips, going away parties, packing, moving, and taking on a new chapter, city, and career path to come!!!!!!!!
