To Sir, With Love...

Dear Hubs,

Here are a few things that you've missed while galavanting w/ the men folk over the weekend:

1) When Sleigh Beds ring, I sleep like a princess.

But....

2) I've had some tripped out dreams. For example: Last night I dreamt that I a) Ate 8 slices of pizza exactly w/ Kurt (Kurt is the fashion-aware openly gay character on Glee b) Cooked Kiltie Mac N' Cheese c) Had somehow joined a weird "The Island" type place that had some sort of bad somethin' or another that was searching for me and Kurt (again). So, I hid under a blanket, fell asleep for several hours only to be awoken by the creepy cult leaders of the island who were running stats on me, and whom informed me that I'd completely missed the movie that I was supposed to go see with the rest of the memebers of Glee. d) All the above
3) I initially struggle to fall asleep due to a lack in a certain someone's snoring orchestra. Of course, I'm referring to the cats.

In other news...

4) I remembered that I can have a good time w/ my parents.
5) Your love/compulsion for bacon does not change even when on "vacation," though this is not a surprise.
6) Practically my whole family watched the Cotton Bowl while in their respective places. Atleast, Mom/Dad/Grammy/your mom did. I think this is because you have a really good influence on people and you're setting everyone straight. Rep-pre-SENT, dawg!
7) I love all my Christmas goodies. Thank-you kindly.
8) Speaking of dawgs and goodies, Kiltie wanted to express her love to you...

*Well, crap. Nevermind. I've waited for atleast an hour for this video to load that Kiltie insisted on putting on here. I'd also like to mention its 2am. I mention this b/c it affirms my love for you and my commitment to posting you a jewel of a video via Kiltie. She asked that I load it b/c her paws are too big, and the keys are too small. Darn demanding d-o-g. So basically, the punch line of this whole post is missing. Remind me to show it to you tomorrow when you get home and then you can solve my video quandries for me. K, thanks.
**You should also look at the comments from yesterday's post. No reason...
*** I'm tired; hopefully I won't be in a coma when you get home.

Hope you've enjoyed your man-time! Lookin' forward to seein' ya tomorrow!

ISDLY,
Wifey

*No one call PETA, I swear no pups were harmed in the making of this really rediculously good (looking) home vid, Kiltie actually really likes it when I scratch and pat her nose (hence her pawing at me and me doing it 25 plus times in the clip). However, none of that matters b/c I couldn't post the ding dang video. Fluff.

Project 365. Day Two-Sixty-Six: 24 "in whcih I bold and italicise a lot of words"...

Some of the photo evidence of turning 24...

Birthday Eve dinner @ The Homestead on 19th w/ Mi Suera, Jason, and baby nephew, Mark...



Mark was pretty stoked about my cheesecake. And, in helping me prevent dessert fires. I swear, I'm not actually disgusted by my nephew, nor am I worried about him spitting on my cheesecake. ...Although this picture proves hi-larious. (It's one of my favs)...



Post Birthday Eve dinner...



So very lucky, I am. And so very thoughtful, is he...



Birthday morning breakfast @ the Taq/Observing my genius baby nephew...



Brother Dave got me a Target gift card (hence the face of excitement). And, please note the Speghetti-o's he also snuck into my gift satchel. [I LOVE Speghetti-o's]


LOOK.AT.THE.AWESOME.SOCKS/GLOVES(in SHSU colors)/HAT MY MOM MADE ME!!! LOOK HOW FLOPPY THAT HAT IS! I -L-O-V-E IT!


Oh weather, please cool off quickly! Can't wait to live in these this winter! [Secretly, I may be hoping to become a collector of homemade knittery of the sock/glove/hat persuasion :) ]...


I've always known Jason loved me but, the thing is, he wore ORANGE for me (i.e. the Family Weekend tshirt). Oh, and he's cutting me hue-awg cake...


Look at that beaut! Mmmmm, Red Velvet from my fav, Farmhouse. Thank-you thoughtful husband!...


Day after birthday lunch @ the Rodeo Mexican Restaurant (go ahead and roll that name around in your head), in which the wait staff did this to me and then sang "Happy Birthday" to me. The best part was watching Jason try and keep a straight face as they approached our table :)...


Then, Brittany and I found it necessary to pose with this horse. Also, necessary: not cropping out the awesome decor in the background...


There are a couple more bday pics and stories I'd like to relate but this'll have to do for now. :)

It was a GREAT birthday!

Today's Highlights:

1) FANTASTIC weather. It almost felt like fall!
2) Getting to wear a cardigan b/c of the beautiful weather.

Weekend Highlights:

1) Turning 24.
2) A girl in my class baking me cookie muffins
3) One of my prof's holding class outside B/C OF MY BIRTHDAY! It was nearly Starbucks until someone in the class convenced her that it "would be too noisey." Whatever. It was awesome!
4) Mi Suera and baby nephew visiting on Friday

Anyways, turning 24 has proven to be one of the BEST birthdays I've ever had. Words will probably fail me when I try and explain how great of a weekend I had and how appreciative I am to everyone who was involved (from near and far).

In other news, today is day 265!! Know what that means ??? Only 100 days until I meet my goal for Project 365! Oh and it will also be New Year's Day. But, that's not as important ;)

Project 365. Days Two-Forty-Three and Two-Forty-Four: Little labor...

First of all, sorry I didn't blog yesterday....didn't get home until nearly midnight from the game in which we WON.

So, lemme just say, this is the FIRST Labor Day (other than the couple of times when I was little and my school year didn't start until after Labor Day) which I have OFF! I have always found it ironic that we were always required to labor on Labor Day when it was so obvious that the great American Dream expected otherwise. But, I also secretly admired the holiday for being so direct, and to the point while I wished I was one of those kids that didn't have to go to school on that day.

Anywhoot, here are a couple-three pics from the weekend...

Aggie football, WHOOP!...



Running into an old friend...



A little gardening and stepping-stoning...



Labor Weekend Highlights:

1) Uh, time off from school...duh.
2) Having Brother Dave over
3) Fish Fry Friday w/ da Hubs
4) Aggie Game Day / Finding Jason on the sidelines and getting excited everytime we made eye contact and everytime he waved at me :) Just like old times...always a highlight to gameday. So, proud of him!
5) Well, we won the game...so...that's cool...
6) Seeing John Dale
7) Re-vamped front stoop
8) Checkin' out The Woodlands
9) da Hubs surprising me with some extra goodies from Bath and Body Works :) Thank-you Sweet Pea for all my Sweet Pea stuff (and, acorns!!)! I'm always pleasantly surprised by your thoughtfulness :)
10) Island Getaway w/ the brother and da Hubs
11) A fresh shower with my new smell-em-goods
12) Papasitos!!! Mmmmm!
13) Introducing David to the Taq.
14) Lookin' forward to some Tuesday's @ Two w/ Katie W tomorrow!! Seein' the fam. etc
15) Getting to go to bed knowing I DON'T have school tomorrow!
16) Knowing I'm married.to.my.best.friend.

Dear Husband, The last few days that I've gotten into the car and heard our song playing as soon as I turned on the radio has been wonderful. Remember how that always seemed to happen to us when we were dating ? It's moments like that that further confirm for me that God is in the little things and He cares about us. Oh, and maybe, just maybe, He's just as giddy about our love story as we are. Mmmhm! I hope that as another week begins, you're able to find little moments like that too. Just keep a look out! Have I told you lately (no, I'm not stealing "your song") that I believe in you? Or how bout that I think you're incredibly brave ? I look forward to beginning another week waking up by your side! P.s. If you need to heal any wounds, please find the bottle of Aunt Helen located under the sink. This, assuredly, will remedy either your wound or need for a smile (I know this is the case for me!)[# 856 why I love you endlessly]. ISDLY//PPH !!
