Today

Things I am going to do today, a list:

1. Go to the dentist, after over an hour of bus riding, for the first time in about 3 years (which is a big change because i used to go 3 times a year because HOLY SHIT MOM I LOVE THE DENTIST SO MUCH)
2. Go to PT with an adorable PTist and strengthen mah back muscles
3. SWIM for the second day in a row when i get home despite how fucking cold the pool will be
4. Make a healthful dinner with veggiebuls for the ManBear
5. Convince the ManBear to take me to the story so i can buy veggiebuls to make a healthful dinner for the ManBear
6. REMEMBER TO DO MY BACK EXERCISES AND THEN ICE MY BACK
7. Relax and read in bed with my honey. Because I love it and everyone needs to do this once in a while.

Things I will not do today, a list:

1. Veg out as soon as I get home (yes your day was a pain in the ass, self, and yes you just dont want to do ANYTHING! but seriously. you deserve better)
2. Spend 5 hours on the computer doing basically nothing (editing saved blog entries is allowed. Reloading tumblr over and over is not allowed.)
3. Forget to take out the trash!
4. Make a lazy dinner
5. Eat dessert for dinner (see above)
6. Buy things at the store you have convinced the ManBear to go to that you dont need. Cause really.
7. Put Ichabod in the dishwasher. THAT IS NOT WHERE HE GOES OK.

And now a picture of my cat. Cause WHY NOT.

The ManBear and I have an evening right before bed routine. It’s low key and simple and burns off a little bit of extra energy.

NO IT IS NOT SEX OK*

(*that’s a different post)

First pajamas and glasses of water and telling Ichabod (at least twice) to hush his pie and stop eating plastic (no really we have to do that shit like EVERY NIGHT. That or listen to him poop and scratch around in his liter box. ugh.). ANYWAY, after all that, after climbing into bed and fighting off gropey-hands mcgee BECAUSE I AM TIRED THATS WHY I AM GOING TO BED IS 2 TIMES A NIGHT NOT ENOUGH FOR YOU HOLY SHIT MAN we talk.

Not like “How was your day.” “It was good how was yours.” “mine was good too.” No, ours is weird random things like “I have a peanut and its next to my heart and its full of love for you” and “MY PEANUT IS MADE OF CORN” and “I AM LEAVING YOU FOR ICHABOD HE WILL BE A BETTER BOYFRIEND CAUSE HES NICE AND HE LOVES ME.”

Which leads to this handy chart:

What woman could resist?! I mean COME ON!

Clearly, the beard wins.

Ghosts of Pictures Past

It’s not a Wordless Wednesday because a lot of these pictures are old, but I still wanted to share.

I had an incredible holiday with my boyfriend and cat. And with my family and his of course but there aren’t any pictures of that.

That first Christmas together is a big thing I think for a lot of people. This was my first with any one and the ManBear made certain it was spectacular (whether on purpose or because he is just that good I couldn’t tell you). He wins at Christmas.

I don’t like being the girl who brags about what she got for Christmas but holy shit I got some awesome things. ManBear got me a hand mixer after being all coy when I was like I THINK IMMA BUY MYSELF A HAND MIXER IN JANUARY OR THE FEB and he was all OH YA!? HOW MUCH ARE THOSE? LOTS? and then I was like NOT TOO MUCH BUT IT WILL MEAN I CAN BAKE MORE WHICH WILL BE NICE YOU KNOW? and he’s like YEAH OK but he had already bought me a hand mixer (ITS BLACK AND I LOVE IT) so he said he was all laughing inside and shit.

Asshole.

ANYWAY. He got me a hand mixer. And a painting in the bathroom at my salon that I had been in love with and went to see if it was still there but it was gone so i couldn’t buy it for myself (please note: this was like MONTHS AGO) and i was all bummed but thought nothing of it and then I opened the last present from the man and KAPOW! The painting! (It’s of a giraffe. i LOVE giraffes – we are both awkward creatures with long necks) and i cried cause it was the painting i wanted and he had gone and gotten it for me after I only mentioned it once in passing.

HOW GOOD IS THIS GUY PEOPLE!?

(In comparison I got him a pair of shoes and some erasers shaped like peanuts. (AWWW YISSSS. Thats the stuff. (Hostess.)))

Anywho, we had a tree and stockings (I made his with the help of Jenny Grace and her sweet Gabey) and ornaments for the year and Ichabod got a cup of chicken and liver with gravy that he diarrhea-ed all over the middle of the living room while we were gone and despite that, it was one of the best Christmases ever.

(ALSO MY DAD GOT ME A SWEET PINK LAPTOP THATS BEING CALLED PINKBOT I AM USING HER AS I WRITE SHE HAS A BUILT IN CAMERA AND IS PINK AND HAS A CARD READER AND HOLY SHIT I LOVE HER)

And now its the new year, and i cant wait to see what it brings us.

PURCELLS

I apologize for this terrible picture of me but it’s actually one of the better ones that were taken that morning…

I would like to point out that the terrifying reindeer the Miss Grace and I “made” is under the tree.

Jesse got stickers for on our Calendar! (more on THAT ONE later)

(more pictures can be seen on my Flickr)

OH OH OH OH OH!

P.S. Shred 2 Day 2 a success. My legs are really sore but it was much easier to get through this time. Plus we measured before hand so I know that my bust is a 36 and my waist is a 29 and my hips are a 39 which yeah, pretty much just proves that I’m shaped weird.

Before:

(AWWW YISSS LOOKIT THOSE MUTHA FECKIN GUNNNNSSSSZZZZZ)

After (LITERALLY DIRECTLY AFTER):

(EVEN MORE GUNTASTIC THAN BEFORE. kinda.)

Much better than yesterday if I do say so myself. and I do. ‘Cause its my blog and I said so. I said that I could say so myself so I said it I NEED TO GO TO SLEEP NOW.
