Happiness is a Warm FIANCE!!!!!

I got laid off today.  3.5 years, which is the longest I've been at a job.  Pretty intense. . .

Being in love with a man who can cook has its advantages.  I don't mean cooking in the way of throwing together a simple dinner or grilling meat on the BBQ, I mean cooking in the gourmet sense.  The kind of food that you pay extreme amounts of money for at really high-end restaurants.  This last Saturday, Warm Boyfriend produced a 9-course feast ( Read more... )

A small word of four letters, but yesterday, I felt the worst pain I have ever felt in my entire life. . .all day long!  I couldn't move, including turning over onto my back.  I was stuck in my apartment on my stomach.  Talk about scary.  It took me until 4 to make it from bed to living room to undo the latch on the door for Warm Boyfriend to get ( Read more... )

Trip booked, bikini bought, plans in the making.  Yay!  Maui here we come!  Damn I can't wait.  I need this trip.  NEED!  So happy, going to eat fresh pineapple on the beach with no cares in the world.  Must now begin the pre-trip diet to lose the last 5lbs and pretend I'm ready to expose myself on the beach in all my white glory.  I won't be ( Read more... )

Seems I may have popped a rib head out of alignment, which sounds really gross, but isn't apparently as bad as it seems and will likely go back in on it's own with the help of rest, stretching, Advil, heat, cold, rolling around on a tennis ball, and more Advil.  I am feeling much better now after my treatment Monday night and getting all "pokey and ( Read more... )
