Hope you're having a great day too!

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!

Project 365. Day Two-Forty: I think September means it's fall, but I'm not really sure here...

Well, I don't have as much time to blog tonight as I'd hoped. But, Happy September! Too bad that the beginning of September here in TX doesn't mean the same thing as it did in OK-- y'know, an actual fall w/ changing leaves and cool weather and such.

Anywho, I need to get back to my hot date with Beowulf, and other such FUN things. To the highlights it is !

Today's Highlights:

1) The week is ALMOST over!
2) Yet another fun work-out at the REC...er..."HKC" as the hip kids here call it, with the Miss Brittany M. Today we did Yoga and came to appreciate the Dead Bug/ Happy Baby pose. BAHAHA! Trust me. FUN-E.
3) Camomile...how do you spell that ? Anyways, I had some of THAT hot tea. Mmmm!
4) Welcoming the new PITA PIT to town w/ the Miss Brittany M.
5) Vitamin Water
6) Welcoming da Hubs home with a hug
7) Beowulf




I'm totally lying about that last one. I mean, it's not the worst thing I've ever read but, it's kind of really close...like, it's the BFF of whatever the worst thing is I've ever read.


Bleh.


Celebrate September by watching this though! And watch all 3:09 mins of it! Impressive little doggy! I know PEOPLE that can't dance that well!



Whoop!

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-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...

I spy with my little eye, someone who fell asleep studying spanish with me...




Test and Oral Evaluation tomorrow.

Study break over.

Project 365. Day Two-Oh-Three: Ever want to just sit down and write about enviromental issues in Spanish ?...

Boy! I know I do !

...Not. Except that I am b/c I have to write 225-250 words about such from (apparently) the top of my head and not the top of my memory. I kind of managed this, write-in-spanish-as-if-I-actually-know-spanish on my last composition and I was kind of proud of myself. But, this time...



Anyways, the only relevance this picture has to today is that I'm wearing that shirt. Aren't those flowers pretty though? Jason got them for me for V-Day this year. !Me gusta flores muchas!

But, it's 11:29pm and I feel like no matter how much I look over my material for my compostion tomorrow, I'mma not going to stop thinking about it merely b/c I've plopped my stuffed brain onto my 4 bajillion pillows (I like a lot of pillows).

Hopefully, I did well on my 2nd Spanish examen too. Eeep. I sure felt like I studied for it hard, that's for sure.

!El tiempo para una luces!
("Time for the highlights!" Atleast, thats how I would say it...)

Today's Highlights:

1) Test 2 down and out.
2) I can see the livingroom floor (darn packing clutter). Thank-you Hubs!
3) JBean and Em D sleep over tomorrow night!
4) New mango flavored Burts fo mah lips. Smoochy smooch.

* I looked up how to say, "Time for the highlights" and whadya know? I was right! I should retire now...
** If you notice, I said, "I sure felt like I studied for it hard..." which is backwards...that's because I've been studying spanish for too long and everything is backwards in spanish. *sigh*

Project 365. Day One-Ninety-Five: Fam-Dam-ly...

Since I'm blogging from my parent's house, I thought I'd post one of my favorite pictures of them, which just so happens to be from the wedding.



Look at 'em ! So handsome and pretty! LOVE this picture !

Today's Highlights:

1) Dinner @ Mom/Dad's w/ the fam.--yummy pot roast and such. Mmmm!
2) Spending some time w/ Mom/Dad/David/Adam/Jason
3) Preparing a little somethin', somethin' for Grammy and for Auntie Karen (Nothin' much but, Mom is bringing them w/ her to Nederland so keep an eye out Auntie Karen!)
4) Preping el bistec deliciousa para la cena manana. Okay, well, technically... we prepared delicious ribs for dinner tomorrow...but I couldn't do the accent marks on here and I couldn't remember the word for "ribs". El oops-o.

Project 365. Day One-Ninety-Two: This guy aims big...

Paprika's favorite naptime spot is a little big for his britches--Kiltie's dog bed. It's cute for a few reasons... Besides the obvious--he being so tiny, the dog bed being so...not...

I think he finds Kiltie comforting--which is also cute-- and seems to be common knowledge among all the residents. She's a popular canine, that Kiltie. The fact that Paprika spends his dream-time swollowed up by the over-sized, Border Collie haired pillow, however, is just a tangible confirmation of his affections towards the world's greatest dog ever.

So, there ya go, soak in the cuteness...





Today's Highlights:

1) Having one of the better nights sleep that I've had in awhile. Thank-you Ambien.
2) Catching Kiltie and Paprika sleeping butt-to-butt on the dog bed in the wee hours of the morning. Again I say, cute.
3) Knocking out mi examen de espanol, knowing that I did my best and I definitly worked hard on it.
4) Surprising myself with my spanish composition--I actually came up with plenty of stuff to write about and had more confidence that usual that atleast some of it made sense. El whoop-o.
5) Profesora not holding class tomorrow.. Ole!
6) One day closer to being healthier.
7) First sushi since getting sick. Mmmmm!
8) Looking forward to having a little extra time this weekend to read, for fun.
9) Having a supportive and awesome husband.

Project 365. Day One-Eighty-Three: Some days, it's like we have a panther and a tiger wrestling in our living room...

Today's Highlights:

1) Having my Follow-Through done and over with. Now, we just have to hurry up and wait for the results.
2) Getting some extra, much needed rest.
3) My dear, sweet Hubs surprising me with Chicken n' Dumplings from Cracker Barrel b/c he knew I wasn't feeling well.
4) Hubs being so supportive and encouraging in times like these.
5) Thinking I may really enjoy spanish class this summer
6) Having what could be a really good teacher for said clase
7) Sitting next to another ASC-er in class.
8) Goodwill jeans that fit me oh so well. American Eagle, $13 dollar jeans, are you next?
9) Pandora radio.
10) Hearing stories of how loopy I got from my meds last night. Oye.
