Project 365. Day Two-Sixty-Nine: Hello Highlights...

And do I have highlights!

1) i.got.the.new.taylor.swift.cd.and.ohmygoodness.it.is.wonderful!! (All thanks to the gift card that Brother Dave got me for my birfday)
2) This little trio of pine conies that assure me it's "fall" in TX (Note: Tomorrow is Halloween and it was almost 90 degrees today).
3) A&M BTHO (that's "beat the hell out of" for all you non-aggie folk out there)...anyways...A&M BTHO TECH today!!! WHOOP! This is a major highlight.
4) Lookin' forward to watchin Halloween specials and The Great Pumpkin w/ Jas tomorrow.
5) Oh, right... and I maybe, might have gotten the picture of me and George Bush Sr. autographed by the man himself today, and in doing so my wonderful da Hubs took evidential photos of the moment...nbd (that's "no big deal" for all you people that might live under a rock and only wish your verbal banter could be as hip as mine). Enjoy that run-on sentence while I enjoy my autographed picture. Post/pics to come. It's good to be an Ag :)

Project 365. Day Two-Sixty-Eight: It almost seems like fall...

Today's Highlights:

1) Playin' outside w/ this pup in what could almost be mistaken for fall weather...y'know, in Texas. Love all the leaves! And tonight, we smelled a wood fire :)
2) Having a class canceled today, whoop!
3) Going on a ghost tour w/ Jas. Lots of stories about campus, and a "hay ride" to go with it. It was fun and intesrsting! :)
4) If you haven't noticed over the last couple of days, the quality of my pictures has gone up...that's b/c Jason has been letting me use his older fancy camera. Luckily, I have some residents that are more than willing to be my models :)

Happy Halloween Eve Eve! Be safe!

Project 365. Day Two-Sixty-Seven: Happy Feet...

Project 365. Day Two-Ninety-Six: Oops...

I did that thing where I got all ready for bed, got under the covers, was about to shut my eyes, and realized that I'd almost forgotten to post. Oops. Man, oh man! I.am.tired! And I have a feeling tomorrow is going to be a long day.

Today's highlights:

p.s. Highlight number 5 should be that I finally saw the face behind the Geico gecko's voice. My curiousities can finally rest!

Project 365. Day Two-Ninety-Five: Speedy...

That's the kind of blogging I need to do tonight b/c I'm keeping the both of us up. That's what homework will do to ya.

This is what I have to do in class tomorrow morning:



Ok, maybe I don't have to rap (but, how awesome would it be if I did?? REALLY awesome!)...

Anywhoot, I have to recite the first 18 lines of the Prologue to Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales."

Yup.

Oh, and TSwift's new cd came out today (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!). Just sayin'.

Today's Highlights:

2) Tomorrow being much closer to being over than it was yesterday. Didja follow that?
3) Humphrey's w/ da Hubs
4) a thoughtful/loving/"you're doing a good job sweetheart" back rub in passing by da Hubs. He makes the difference in my day just by a single touch.

Dear Husband, I love you for moments like that (#4). And, I love that your thoughtfullness is the first thing people notice about you-- so very true. Thank you for your kind heart!

Project 365. Day Two-Ninety-Two: Battle of the Piney Woods...

Eat 'em up Kats!...




Spectating/Worrying...



School spirit...



After losing by 3, Jas and I enjoyed the sweet taste of defeat a la Panera.
I l-o-v-e Panera...



Unfortunately, there were several terrible calls by the refs which cost us the game. But, we all still had fun!

Love,love,love watching sports w/ da Hubs by my side!

Hope you're having a great Saturday!

Project 365. Day Two-Ninety-One: Wordless, the D.C. Edition...

Project 365. Day Two-Ninety: Mooses or meeses, it's all the same to me...

Either way though, I definitly put too much mousse in my hair today. Oh well :)



Today's Highlights:

1) All the hard stuff being over for the week
2) Getting my draft moved back to next week even though I have mine done (now I can go back and revise it even more before turning it in).
3) Having one of my prof's ask me if I'd be in one of her classes next year
4) A good Colleges Against Cancer meeting

6) A dinner date w/ da Hubs to the new Chicken Express in town
7) Fresh sheets to sleep in :)

Whoop!

What are your highlights this week? What are you looking forward to about the weekend?

P.s. I've always secretly loved the "meese" as the plural to moose :)

Dear Husband, I really enjoyed going to Chicken E. w/ you tonight. When you said, "Sweetheart, do you smell that? Its the Chicken Express smell!," was almost too adorable for me to handle. Love eatin' some chicken w/ a side of adorable Hubs. Too bad they don't make Chicken E. candles, huh? Or, DO they? Know what else? I'm super stoked about baking some of those gourmet cookies you brought me home. I.love.your.surprises. FACT. You are the best surpriser I know, for serious. I sure do love you Mi Chico!

Project 365. Day Two-Eighty-Nine: Wordless...

Project 365 Days Two-Eighty-Seven and Eight: A few things I make use of when in need of a smile...

1) My beloved:



2) This pup, along with the other residents (please see the menu on the right side):



3) Today's Letters

4) Color Me Katie

.... It's a running list, that I'll leave at four for now....

I've actually had a pretty good day...so good that I managed to make this post at 3p.
Buuut, I was just a reflectin' on the importance of knowing what makes you smile so that when faced with opposition, you're much better prepared :)

So,what turns your frown upside down?

Project 365. Day Two-Eighty-Six: Small town stuff...

Today's Highlights:

1) Having a relaxing sunday w/ da Hubs
2) Taq for Breakfast
3) Goin to see "To Kill a Mockingbird" at the community theater
4) Singing 90s ballads in the car on the way home, no radio. Can't.help.but.smile.at.that!

Dear Husband, you're a way better singer than Michael Bolton. Could this be another reason why I married you ? I loved our day together. You're my favorite person by far :) I hope something/someone puts a smile on your face today!

Project 365. Day Two-Eighty-Five: No picture.,.

We just walked in the door @ 11:15pm from a very busy day. And, I'd forgotten about the blog until I'd already curled under the covers and gotten warm. I won't lie, I didn't want to get out of bed to get my computer which resides only feet away on my desk. It's cold out there, okay?

Today's highlights:

1) going to dads 40th reunion luncheon/ football game! The Rice Owls won!
2) I want to learn a rap, even if it's the words to "ice ice baby". Ok that's a fact rather than a highlight.
3) sleepytime
4) taq w jas for breakfast!

Goodnight!

Project 365. Day Two-Eighty-Four: Relax! Go to it!

Question: What are some of the things you do to help you relax?



I'm not a good relaxer--more like a worrier and a doer. But! I do take bubblebaths in the sake of relaxing. Apparently, I take a lot of them b/c the other day da Hubs said to me:

"You're one of the cleanest people I know."

After I thanked him for his compliment, I asked him to elaborate.

"...You take a lot of bubblebaths."

:)

So, what do you do to relax?

My guess is that Auntie Karen will say: "knit"
And, Jason will say: "do nothing"

Am I right?

Now, go relax already!

Project 365. Day Two-Eighty-Three: In which the little Mister dresses like a little Mister...

Dear Swayzles,

Do your man ties match your suit too??
Love, Katie

Off to make lunch for da Hubs, then sleepy-town, then conquering tomorrow. Whew!

Project 365. Days Two-Seventy-Eight Through Two-Eighty-One: [insert something clever here]...

Yep, I'm still alive.

Between being overwhelmed with school, out of town last weekend, and fighting allergies/not feeling good, I've let the blog fall through the cracks the last few days. Sorry.

But, here I am ...spending much time getting more acquainted with Jason's HOMEMADE FROM SCRATCH Tomato Basil Soup (as seen in the above Big Hug Mug).

Even though sometimes life happens and the blog, therefore, does not.... I think I've lacked from well my lack of "Today's Highlights".

So, here ya be!

Today's Highlights:

1) One day closer to the weekend
2) The Buried Life and House on the DVR
3) Jason cooking dinner for us for the 2nd night in a row even though I'd gotten out the meat with the intention of cooking it myself. He, however, is a knight in shining armor and is god at taking care of me when I don't feel good.
4) Homemade T.Basil Soup <3
5) Getting a 93% on my rediculously hard essay test for my rediculously hard class. Can I get a "Whoop!"
6) The Vitamin Water I'm about to crack open
7) Staying up a little later than normal to watch TV together
8) Rescued Chilean miners!

Dear Husband, Thanks for being so supportive of me and of Project 365. And, thanks for missing the blog when I haven't posted. 1) It's nice to be missed/appreciated 2) It's especially nice to be missed/appreciated by you. And for stepping up to the plate when I haven't felt good? Don't know if I'll ever be able to repay you except for promoting you to Head Husband (as discussed during our office meeting at the stove), and awarding you a life-time supply of extra smooches. Love Always, Boss.

Project 365. Days Two-Seventy-Six and Two-Seventy-Seven: Hullabaloo...

Dear Husband, I don't really know how to put into words a) how much I friggin' love you b) how much fun I had with you this weekend c) how much I deeply appreciate you. Thank-you for being such a good listener with everything from the direct stuff, to the tiny little nothings that could so easily go unnoticed. Thank you for always hearing me and acting on what you've both heard and intuitively understood; I think you posses magic powers :) I hope that I can be like you when I finish growing up. I sure do love you Mi Chico!
