  • it’s only Wednesday + I feel like I’ve somehow fit a whole weeks worth of work into just 2 days. Longest week ever.
  • Ari is totally cramping my style in the mornings by waking up earlier than usual. I don’t mind too much though. He’s such a happy baby in the mornings! It’s kinda nice to get some extra baby snuggles; even if that means I go to work with wet hair.
  • I rarely use nail polish remover. I end up picking it off as soon as it starts to chip.
  • my obsession with french macarons possibly outweighs my obsession with Pretty Little Liars. Well, maybe I’m equally as obsessed.

  • it makes me [not so] secretly happy that Ari has been a bit of a mama’s boy these last few mornings. When I drop him off at the sitter and she reaches out for him, he kind of shies away and nuzzles his face into my chest. He, thankfully, isn’t putting up a fight about going, but it’s just the few extra snuggles that are making my heart melt.
  • I spent the better part of a long meeting at work yesterday trying to figure out why the speaker looked familiar. Turns out he looks nearly identical to our Target pharmacist. Def wasn’t him, but I swear it could be his twin!

  • I’ve been cranky the last couple of days. It’s been a really crazy work week thus far, and I’m completely over it.
  • I’m obsessed with the song Below My Feet by Mumford & Sons and have been listening to it on repeat over the last few days.
  • part of my motivation for waking up to get to the gym early is because I “reward” myself with tanning afterward. And I like to have some color in the winter.
  • I got a little sad yesterday when RueLaLa opened their sale for the Inn By The Sea in Cape Elizabeth Maine yesterday. That’s where we got married last year and where we vacationed a few years ago. And I totally wish we could make it back for an anniversary trip this year, but it’s not in the cards for us right now. 🙁

  • this past week of the Bachelor made me so happy. LOVE me some crazy girl drama! Well, as long as I’m not involved. These whores are craaaaazy!
  • I judge the girls’ dresses from the Bachelor on how good their boobs look in the dress. What’s the point of wearing a dress that shows bad cleavage??

  • I now measure Ari’s weekend naps in “this many” episodes of Pretty Little Liars. I wish it was 2 episodes, but it’s usually only 1. Child needs to learn to nap!
  • my late night at Ohio Blogging Associations Whole Foods chocolate and wine pairing has me completely exhausted today.
  • I cried during the Budweiser clydesdale commercial on Sunday.
  • I also cried a little when I realized my local Starbucks was sold out of the Casi Cielo K-cups. Boo. 🙁
  • this morning I woke up way later than I planned. Like, an hour later. Oops.
  • we haven’t been taking nearly as many pictures of Ari since I started back at work. Truthfully, weekdays have been a lot crazier than I ever expected them to be.
  • we are loading up our social schedules lately. This weekend we are going to the Home + Garden show at the IX Center and I’m beyond excited. It feels so great to get out and do things!

  • the show New Girl makes me laugh way harder than it should. But I didn’t see last nights episode so no one tell me what happens! I saw a number of “OMG NEW GIRL!” tweets, so it must be a good one.
  • I only made it to 10PM one night last week. That night was Thursday. And on Friday I was a complete waste of space.
  • I now consider 10PM a late night.
  • I’m beyond excited for our adult night out tomorrow at Red + White on Thursday Night. It’s much needed.
  • my to-do list is like a mile long. I just can’t seem to get everything done. Ugh.
  • yesterday I had the song “Defying Gravity” from Wicked stuck in my head. And I might have been annoying my coworkers by singing it all day long.

  • Ari has still been using his Nap Nanny lounger even though it’s been through a recent voluntary recall. It’s seriously the only way that he’ll sleep at night. And it was the one ‘must-have’ item on our registry that we couldn’t live without.
  • I completely enjoyed my ‘mama’s day out’. And I don’t feel even a smidge of guilt for taking the day for myself.
  • our bedroom has  been a hot mess since October. It just so happens to be a catchall for clean/folded laundry and other random items. Like the card basket from our elopement reception.
  • I woke up at 4:00 am on Monday even though I had the day off. I wanted to spend my whole day doing things I love. Starting with an early morning yoga class.
  • my idea of ‘making dinner’ is picking up takeout or eating ice cream straight from the carton.
  • I love having ‘little’ things to look forward to. It helps me to not feel drowned by the monotony of each day. For instance, I’m 100% looking forward to getting paid tomorrow [first time in months!]. Then I’m looking forward to Red & White on Thursday Night next week. And then to an OBA event at Whole Foods the next week. I know, I live a crazy, wild + exciting life. 🙂

  • I spent most of my weekend in comfy clothes. It was just what I needed.
  • Ari spent most of the weekend in PJs too. We really had no reason to get dressed.
  • we bailed on our fancy pants dinner plans at Noodlecat and went to the most awful Mexican restaurant of all time. It was our first date night away from Ari and my aunt was watching him. Well when we dropped him off, he was screaming bloody murder. And we no longer wanted to go far.
  • my excitement during the Golden Globes was like the excitement some people get during major sporting events — I was cheering, screaming, and clapping like a fool.
  • I really love dramas like Homeland and the Newsroom for the political back story.
  • sometimes I think the only appropriate answer to a question is “Your mom.” And it’s pretty much the answer to every work question. 🙂
    “Hey did you do such and such?”  “No but your mom did.” I know, we’re so mature.
  • today is Ari’s first day with the sitter and I’m not at all nervous or sad about it. In fact, I’m excited to finally find an everyday routine! Even if that routine means starting my day at 4:30 am!
