This truly has been a year of big stuff for me. I got my first teaching job, moved to north carolina, found Ben. This summer we bought a house, and as of 5 days ago...puppy Willow. She is a beautiful mixed breed known as a labradoodle. She is also driving me a little nuts. We got her just as she began her teething hell, and if I may quote an ( Read more... )

I love living with my Benjamin. I am drinking my luke warm coffee. Then Im going to start painting our room green. Around three Im going to make this tomato corn salsa stuff to have with grilled chicken. I am happy. I am getting so much better at driving than I used to be. Yaaaay

I am all moved in, finally! Ben's parents came down last week and were a HUGE help with moving and getting us settled. Ben's dad painted our living room and kitchen so the place is already looking cheery. I finished painting the kitchen a salmony-peach color...all on my own! A few blops here, and a splatter there, but all in all I'm impressed with ( Read more... )

So far today I've made three trips down to the house. I just want to get it all moved so I can move on to more fun and interesting things...like painting!!! I really need a siesta. I still have all the big furniture left, some pictures, all the cleaning supplies (which I have to keep here until I've thoroughly cleaned everything) bedding, curtains ( Read more... )

whooopeee!!! I made it through the night with only eating two rice cakes and a sip of milk!!!! Much better than last nights cookie rampage! And I cooked a rockin meatloaf for Ben! :)

Well I lost my own bet. I got out of bed at the ripe old hour of 10 and went on my walk. I still havent gotten over my late night food cravings...although Im trying to be healthier. Cherries, half a banana, and snackwell chocolate chip cookies. Ok, half a box of snackwell cookies is NOT HEALTHY. Which is exactly why I tortured myself this morning, ( Read more... )

How is milk different tasting from water, really? Is it just thicker water? Does it really have a taste ( Read more... )

School is out! Yee yee yee. More time for me to just relax, work on losing all that weight I gained from first year teacher stress and move into my new house! I am happy because I really love Ben. I just want to kiss and snuggle every chance I get. I know everyone reading this is probably gagging but youll be thinking something similar someday if ( Read more... )
