Project 365. Day Two-Thirty-Nine: Wordless-ish...

My spanish calender says that today's phrase is:

"!Qué mono!"

"What a cutie!"

How fitting :)

Project 365. Day Two-Thirty-Eight: Repeat...

Ok, so I don't have a picture for today and I still have homework to finish. So, you get a variation on Kiltie's birthday picture. You're welcome.

Today's Highlights:

1) Basic Step w/ Miss Brittany M.
2) Monday is over for this week
3) My husband
4) Sushi for lunch and surprise free, homemade lasagna @ The Happening
5) Checkin out church groups w/ Miss Brittany M.
6) Post Step Vitamin Water
7) Buying my semester pass for the REC, whoop!
8) Knowing I get to come home to a wonderful and loving husband

Project 365. Day Two-Thirty-Seven: So many more reason's why I love my husband...

We have a fence!!

AND, da Hubs and I put it up TOGETHER (insert "Just the Two of Us" song, here)!

Here are some pictures of Kiltie enjoying her new digs...





Since these happen to BE my highlights for today, here's a list of just a few of the newly added reasons why I love da Hubs...

Reason's Why I Love My Husband More Than Free Puppies Or Homemade Food:

#1345) He willingly built this fence so that Kiltie could have a yard, AND he let me help.
#234257) I couldn't even count how many times he told me I was doing a "great job," or "was "an old pro" at fence building today
#38798799) The conversation we had on the way to lunch--
Jason(out of the blue): "...That was fun"
Me : "What was?"
Jason : "Building the fence.
I liked working with you, it was fun."
Me{Feelin' like a kid on Christmas} : "I liked working with you too! It was fun building something together! {Inside myself: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!}
Jason : "Yeah, we did a project together!"
Me : {swoon!!}
#478965876553) While I sat at my desk studying, Jason checked on me numerous times
#576389872398753) On one of these times, Jason did a little dance while singing "I love my wife" over and over :)

I'll stop there for tonight or I'll be here til we're 90.

:)

Love, love, LOVE da Hubs!

Project 365. Day Two-Thirty-Six: Ya dig? ...

da Hubs and I went to our very first SHSU sporting event tonight--volleyball! I loved being able to be a fan with him and I really, really appreciated him going with me. He is so very supportive of me getting involved at Sam, and I love him for it.

I think I realize everyday how much more I love him.

Goodnight :)

Project 365. Day Two-Thirty-Five: My legs feel like noodles and I'm tired...

...And, I honestly don't feel like putting much effort into tonight's post. But hey, I just completed my first week of my junior yr of college at a new school w/ a real campus w/ hills w/ a REC center w/ which I treadmilled for like 2 whole hours today with inclines and increased speeds and such. So, I'm tired. Oh, and that rediculous runonsentence was free of charge. That's what they're teaching us in school, run-on sentences.

I kid, I kid.

Anywhoot, as I have just consumed some DELICIOUS Peachy Peach Halves, the possibilities of this weekend leave me with a sweetness in my mouth. Or, maybe that's the peaches. Whatev.

Some Taq ? Island getaway w/ da Hubs? PJ's ? Potato de Couch ?

...Homework ?

Boo. Knew that had to get in there somewhere :(

Maybe I should just get into the text book writing biz b/c then I'd never feel behind on learning the material...I'd already know it, AND I could charge an arm and a couple legs, and maybe a nose for students to by them!

OH, also...

Taylor Swift's new song. I JUST heard it/ saw the video for the first time and I JUST downloaded it. B/c I. Am. A. SAP. No shame. Go ahead, judge me. I'll post the video whenever it gets on YouTube.

What happened to me not feeling like blogging tonight ?

See? School makes me ramble.

Well, I'm sure you've had a blast reading this (Hi, Jas!).

Goodnight!

[P.s. I love my husband. The End]

Project 365. Day Two-Thirty-Four: Wordless...

Project 365. Day Two-Thirty-Three: Sunday Funday Part Peachy Peach Halves...

This is the part where I show you the happiness that is the "Huntsville Farmer's Market" as we like to refer to it as...

YUM!




AND! Dum, duh, duh, duhhhhhh! PEACHY PEACH HALVES! I told you I wasn't lying, it's the technical name. Who doesn't love THAT? What if everything was named like that ? You don't see Peary Pear Halves anywhere do you (Jason)? Well, I think it is high time that our society adopt this happy labeling system, the world would be a much better place :)




P.s. I survived my first day as a new kid on a real college campus. It felt exhilerating!

Over, and out-o so da Hubs can use the computadora. Adios !

[Peachy Peach Halves for breakfast in the morning ? I think SO!]

Project 365. Day Two-Thirty-Two: Sunday Funday, Breakfast part B and Other things...

Remember how I said I'd show you how adorable da Hubs is? Well here you go, enjoy as I make up the dialog that was probably running through his head at the time :)

"Give me a smooch right here, please"...



"Get excited!"...



"Really excited!"...



"I can hardly contain myself"...



"Wait, I have been distracted by my own thoughts b/c I am smart and thoughtful and such"...



"Gosh, I sure do love you"...



"See? See how much I love you with my heart shaped hands?"...



.....................................................................................
In other news, all day today there's been this big back-to-school bash thing called Sammypalooza. I went to the "get free stuff/hand-outs/FOOD" part which was pretty fun AND tastey. Got some good grabs too including a free t-shirt which I WON (see picture below) and a FARMHOUSE t-shirt which I've secretly wanted since first eating at this YUMMY restaraunt (AND the girl just GAVE it to me even though it wasn't supposed to be given away for another hour or something, whatever)!



Oh yeah, and I went to this free pancake lunch thing today too. It's just a coincedence that it happened to be free and have food too, I swear I was there to meet people too ;) [P.s. I love food]

So, now I'm getting things together for THE FIRST DAY. Gah, no matter how old I get, I still get that same weird feeling in my tummy the night before the 1st day of school. Some eagerness(which will probably quickly leave me upon the first homework assignment), and some hesitency, some "Yaaaaaaay! New school supplies!!," and some "Ewww, syllabi.." Oh, and I'd like you to know that my campus (it's mine, I bought it outright), is 95% uphill. Feel free to call me thunder thighs, or crazy calves, or "look at that scrawny new girl struggle to make it up there hill". I'll be beefy by the end of the semester, watch out!

Ok, I gotta go finish getting ready so I can go to bed so that I can have a hard time sleeping b/c I start school at a REAL college tomorrow and feel a little bit like a itty bitty kid again (if only I had some of those rockin' outfits my mom would pick out for me w/ MATCHING BOW).

Blargel.

P.s. I'm kind of anal about getting my "perfect seat" in the classroom. Because I'm a nerd. Sooo, wish me luck!

Over, and out-o!

Project 365. Day Two-Thirty-One: Weekend recap on pause, it's a very important birthday...

We'll continue the weekend recap tomorrow. Today, is very special.

It's Kiltie Dawg's BIRTHDAY!!

This picture was taken the day I picked her out on a far away farm in Inola, OK. She was about 3 or 4 weeks old, I was a couple weeks shy of my 13th birthday. We've been inseperable since...



Eleven years later, I look about the same, only a little longer, and she's aged gracefully w/ only a few extra snow white hairs. But, she doesn't mind b/c she's who she is, the greatest dawg in the world.

It's a fine and mighty thing to be one of those few persons that gets to experience this kind of undefinable bond. You can figure out all of life, your doubts about God, or about love, how to treat others and how to simple enjoy life by watching a dog like Kiltie.

Opps. I think I've become that sappy girl even though I promised myself I wouldn't :)

Happy 11th Birthday to the greatest dawg in the world!!



"When we have the deepest of affection for a dog, we do not posses that love but are possessed by it, and sometimes it takes us by surprise, overwhelms us."

"Dogs might love a place, as people do, but the only place they love beyond all others is the place where you are. When we left the house on the hill, in Harbor Ridge, home would become wherever we took her."

--Both quotes are from my favorite book, A Big Little Life, by Dean Koontz.

If you even, kind of like dogs, you should read it.

WOOF!

Project 365. Day Two-Thirty: Sunday Funday; Breakfast Part A...

Remember how yesterday I said that I thought da Hubs and I had had our best day/date as Huntsvillians yet ? Well, copy/paste b/c today was a great day just like yesterday. Whoop! In fact, it was so great that I had to break it up into parts!

So here's Breakfast Part A and Today's Highlights (more pictures to follow over the next day or so)...

We went to "our place," which happens to be an "it can't get more authentic than this unless I was actually in a spanish speaking country" Taqueria restaraunt for breakfast. It was cleverly named, Taqueria. Anyways, it's AWESOME. In fact, it's so awesome that I think Jason may want to name our first born "Taqueria." Breakfast tacos are .99 cents. Huevos Rancheros might be $4 ? Two people can have a feast for $12 doll hairs. Seriously. The people that go to ...we'll call this establishment, "Fon Frafas"...for "mexican" food should be ashamed. Okay, enough about that! I have pictures to show you!

First, my AH-dorable husband, and our waitress, Elizabeth (in the background)...
"Hey Jas, show me how excited you are about eating here"...



He was practically giddy :)...in a very manly way of course...

I discovered, with ease, that I've learned enough spanish this summer to enable me to translate this sign by our booth. I could probably read the spanish newspaper too, front to back ;)....I'm kidding... Anyways, it says "Today's Tortillas. Thrown by hand. Flour and Corn." Ole!



Then, we finally got our alimentacion (food)...
"Hey Jas, show me how excited you are about finally having your food"...



I got "Big Breakfast Sandwich," as it said on the menu, and it was GOOD!...
I am excited b/c I heart food, a lotto...



We decided to take our relationship w/ Taqueria to the next level and take a coupley picture with it. I think Taq and us may be together for the long haul...
Right, and my Hubs is precious. And, I can't wait to show you just how cute he is. Just wait, you'll see!...



3 Ole's and a leg kick for such a good day (and you haven't even heard about it all yet)!

Today's Highlights:

1) Breakfast Part A
2) da Hubs being such a very good sport while curtain shopping/curtain installing. If I had a trophy for how good of a sport he was, I'd give it to him. 1st place, hands down.
3) Curtains!! Now, the animales and I can feel that much more safe, and sound, and homey in our homey. And, I can walk around the house in my neon yellow sports brazier (allegedly).
4) Neon sports braziers! Yaaay! Now, my day really is highlighted...by my undergarments...
5) Huntsville's Farmer's Market (i.e. That one truck parked in that parking lot w/ all those jams and fruits and veggies, Farmer Bob included). Let me just break this down a little more for you (this is jsut a preview) Mayhaw Jam, Peach Salsa, and PEACHY PEACH HALVES. You heard me. Peachy Peach Halves. And, that is the technical name. WIN! Oh right, and Farmer Bob-- overralls, old plaid button-up shirt, old straw hat, old floofy mustache, and big, ol' coke bottle glasses.
6) Me and da Love singing "Peachy Peach Halves" all day. Mmmm! <--- That's the sound of bliss :)
7) Another trip to the island resort via our livingroom. So much fun w/ my best friend.
8) Cooking our first meal in the new house/in the new (real)kitchen together. Jas had a BT (Bacon and Tomato sammich), and I had a BTTC (Bacon,Turkey,Tomato, and Cheese sammich). We had fun in our REAL kitchen; we didn't even run into eachother once! And, we gave 1 leg kick, and 1 fist pump to the new cocina :) Whoop!
9) da Hubs, as he lays w/ his face smooshed into his pillow, moments before he falls asleep (quitely, and slightly muffled)..."Peachy Peach Haaalvesss..."

Slam, bam, and thank-you very much ma'am. Great weekend!

Project 365. Day Two-Twenty-Nine: And that's how the cupcake crumbles...

Today's Highlights:

1) Having the whole day w/ my best friend/dH (da Hubs)/Jas/"cupcake" (okay, so I'm just trying to play off the picture. I don't really call him cupcake).
2) El Taqueria para desayuno con mi esposo
3) School supply/house supply shoppin' at the Target w/ da Hubs/ him enabling my organizational tendencies. Such a sweet one of mine!
4) China "buffet" for linner w/ Jas. Laughing over Celine Dion, and Huntsville's high expectations when it comes to da buffet. Keep it classy Huntsvillians.
5) Playing Wii Sports Resort w/ da Love. Laughing with him and cheering eachother on makes for a great evening/date.
6) Listening to the "pffooh! pffooh! schoomp! schoomp!" come from the livingroom as he blasts opponent's balloons while flying a plane. So glad to see/hear him having fun and relaxing :)
7) Squashing my single-serv. cupcake (baby spork included) as I tried to help Jason load groceries into the car. The semi-age-decreasing-temper-tantrum, with an alleged foot stomp, makes for a good laugh. [I really love food, okay?] Oye.

And, those are just the highlights b/c today has been a really, really great day w/ my very wonderful husband.

Dearest Hubs, Our whole day, which was like a date day b/c it was just that good, was just wonderful(just to reitorate).... Thank-you for every part of it. And our Wii date ? I love(d) traveling to an island resort with you right in our very own livingroom. This may have been our best date as Huntsvillians ;) Can't wait for our next tropical livingroom vacay. And, I can't stop saying enough great things about today. You are my sunshine!

Project 365. Day Two-Twenty-Eight: Buggin'...

I don't know what to blog but I do know that I'm tired. So, look at these pictures of The Great Bug Hunt of 2010. It. Was. Epic. ...Atleast for D.C....Paprika, not so much.




Today's Highlights:

1) Finding my way to Target w/o ANY directional aide or struggle (It's probably b/c it's Target that I found it w/ such ease. Target and Old Navy...I can always sense their presence, love em!)
2) Cardigans.
3) The new maintenence guy gettin' to business and doing a good job
4) The bubble bath I'm about to have

2) A much more productive day

5) Took Kiltie on a car ride

P.s. Let's pretend it's YouTube Tuesday, since I'm so good at posting those, so you can enjoy THIS! Somedays, you just can't seem to get it together...



BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I just watched this atleast a dozen times with Jason. Now, it feels like I've done a bajillion crunches from laughing so hard. Gah, I want to watch it again :)

Project 365. Days Two-Fourteen>>Two-Twenty-Three: Back from my Blog-cation...

Well, I wasn't really vacationing, I just wasn't blogging on here for good reason...

1) We've been moving, and are officially in our new place
2) We haven't had the internet
3) We've been exhausted

But! We've got internet now!

It's been an insane few weeks but, we're making the bend now, thankfully.

I'm having trouble uploading pictures right now so, you'll have to settle for just this one of a tree in our front yard. He's way up there, that Piney Wood. He was, however, a highlight on that particular day. Get it? HIGH-light ? Bahahaa! Or should I say, he was a high-LIGHT ? Oye, I kill.

Anywhoot, I think it's important for me, in this time of transition and change, to make sure I appreciate my daily highlights that life is so grateful to give me. ...Pretty sure that's how those, "Chicken Soup for the Soul" books got started afterall...atleast, it's a good assumption.

Welp, as a preliminary to the updating to come, here ye be....

Today's Highlights:

1) Yesterday/today being the first time in, what seems like forever, that Jason and I have had a chance to even remotely relax and not be fixed to a hard-knocks sched. T.V., leisurely waking up around 7:30am, b-fast, and unpacking on our watch. Perfecta!
2) Discovering the good eats in town together
3) Going to CS to spend some time with Brian/Kim/Madeline
4) Dinner w/ the fam
5) Back to the blog!
6) Getting to write da Hubs letters on here again :)

Dum,da,da,dahhhh (that's my trumbucket trumbucketing)!

Dear Husband, I think you're a warrior. No, but serious, you've battled this move with skill and grace. I don't believe I could've survived without your strength and determination but, especially not without your faith that everything would work out. You've always been the man I've needed you to be (yourself, you're wonderful) but lately, you've really stepped up to the plate. I admire you so much, and wish I could adequately express that admiration to you. You are this family's backbone. And, even though I'm sick of boxes, I'd live in one as long as I was with you. Or, we can just make a sweet-awesome fort in the middle of our livingroom out of some instead :) I love you endlessly.

Project 365. Day Two-Thirteen: Buckle up...

... Spanish final, done.

Now, it's moving weekend.

Buckle up, kids.

[Thankful to have mom and dad come up and help us finish packing tomorrow morning. Thank you!!]

Project 365. Day Two-Twelve: KaBOOM...

...That's the sound of my brain exploding. My Spanish final is tomorrow so, I don't really have time to blog elaborately being that....y'know...I need to become fluent over-night.

But, I can tell you that I thoroughly enjoyed having Fuzzy's with this girl on a study break. And, that this is one of my favorite pictures of us..with a monkey named Eugene.



Anywhoot, I still have a lot more studying to do so here are the first 5 spanish words that pop into my head....

1) El plato fuerte // the main course
2) Tener ganas de // to feel like
3) Sabroso // delicious
4) Picante // spicy hot
5) Ole! // what needs to be said on a regular basis b/c it's a fun word (that's for you Auntie Karen!)

Adios!

Project 365. Day Two-Eleven: I love, lamp...

Today's Highlights:

1) DONE w/ Test #3, and the Oral Evaluation, Ole!
2) Chick-fil-a for dinner, mmmhm!
3) Jason may be one of the manliest men I know but, his eye for ...interior design-ish things, like the new green lamp that we got, that HE suggested to go w/ my green chair... is always a pleasent surprise (Note: In case I embarassed him (which hopefully I didn't), Jason can often be found grunting, hammering things, tying knots, building cars from scratch, lifting VERY heavy obscure objects, and sitting in his boxers while drinking a cold one). Anyways, the lamps--right I said "lamps" b/c we had to get my green chair-lamp a tall matching floor lamp to be friends with--are super cute, WAIT TIL YOU SEE THEM!
4) Shark Week waiting for me on the DVR

Hulabaloo!

Project 365. Day Two-Ten: Study Break...

Dear Husband, You've done a fantastic job this weekend. I'm so very appreciative that you let me sprawl out on our new discounted area rug today to re-charge my batts while you unloaded an entire truckload of stuff. I guess yesterday's boxes wore me out more than I knew. Thanks for looking out for me even when it causes you more sweat. I love you more than you could know. Happy Monday! ....We're almost there...

Over and out.
