Today, I am thankful for flannel pajama pants, a nice soft bed, my laptop, a boyfriend that cooks me dinner and a chill in the air that makes all of that seem more delicious than it sounds. If I had stuck to my normal Monday evening routine from the past couple of weeks, I'd probably just be winding down from dinner and cleaning the back of the house (bedrooms, bathrooms, hallway). As it is, I'm sitting in my bed in soft flannel pajamas, mindlessly surfing the Internet and writing this post and that's about all I've accomplished tonight. And I
Read MoreHoly crap on a cracker, there's a blog here? Something I can write in every day if I'd like? Pffft, who knew? Apparently not me since it's been close to a month and a half since my last update. I feel like this is confession ... Bless me Father, for I have sinned. It's been <too many to count> days since I have blogged ... (Look at me trying to act like I'm Catholic. The closest I come is that I was baptized.

Or things end up appearing so unexpectedly that before we know it, we've blown
Read MoreThe past few weeks I've made small efforts offline to give myself a boost of inspiration for blogging. I've bought a book of questions and a Pocket Muse. I even took inspiration from her and bought a book of blog ideas (I bought the Kindle version for my iPod touch which is awesome because it's one less book I have to store and it saved me three bucks!) I just haven't put them into fruition yet. But soon! May was had it ups and downs. We were either really busy on the weekends or did absolutely nothing and I was too tired
Read MoreJust like that, another weekend gone! It's amazing how every Sunday night Steve and I find ourselves saying that. I don't know if that's indicative of whether we are doing something good or just wasting away. We actually were really, really productive though so I definitely don't feel like we wasted it. After yesterday's cleaning and shopping marathon, I woke up with no REAL sense of purpose today. So I spent the first two hours watching trash TV (Rock of Love Bus is so boring now that the uber-skanks are gone!) then I decided that I might as well accomplish something. I
