My Funny Valentine...

Rose are red, 

Violets are blue, 

Baby you must know, 

How much I love you!

When I initially turned you down, 

And said 'We should just be friends.'

You didn't get discouraged, 

and into the friend-zone you did transcend.

 

Over time you wore me down, 

making me miss you when you weren't around. 

 You waited ever so patiently, 

for me to realize that you were one I did need.

You always make me laugh, 

Your voice makes me smile, 

And your good smelling scent, 

Doesn't make me vomit bile.

You go to law school, 

And study real hard.

You always give 110%,

So one day we have a large house with a big back yard. 

You buy me chocolate, 

and play board games with me. 

Even though you suck real bad, 

at Scattegories.

You attempt to do new things, 

and let me teach you how to snowboard.

You don't let me forget though, 

When I take us down a black diamond without disregard.

Rose are red, 

Violets are blue, 

Baby you must know, 

How much I love you!

Guess Who Is Warm and Cozy....

Thursday afternoon my husband sent me a message asking me what my dress size was. Considering that after being together for four years and never being asked this before, I was a little taken aback. After providing him with my dress size (and shoe size just in case) my mind proceeded to imagine all the glorious dresses that my husband might be getting me for Valentine's Day. He has NEVER purchased me an item of clothing or picked anything like that out for me, so I was getting pretty darn excited to see what he was buying me. 

Cue Friday afternoon when FedEx delivers a delightfully large size box to my apartment. Under strict orders from my husband, I didn't open it until he come home. I stared at the box for a few hours, my puppy dog licked it for about twenty minutes and I shaved my legs in anticipation for my new dress.

I. shaved. my. legs.

That alone should tell you how excited I was.

Finally, my husband comes in the evening and not empty-handed. He brings me Chipotle. A dress and a burrito. I was absolutely giddy.

After tearing open the box, my jaw dropped, and the first words out of my mouth were, "oh my god. Oh My God! OH MY GOD!!!"

30 seconds later I am dressed to the nines in my new outfit and shove my camera in my husband's hand. Check out my new threads....

That's right y'all. My imagined dress is actually a thick, fleece, monogrammed, hooded, pair of panda bear footie pajamas. 

"I'm sexy and I know it."

Please excuse the poor quality of photos. We were laughing so hard that we couldn't get a decent photo of me in my new outfit. These were the best of about 60 photos. 

The rest of our Valentine's Day celebration (he has law school stuff on V-Day, so we decided to celebrate Friday) consumed of me wearing an outfit that covered me literally from head to toe, spilling Chipotle all over the front of myself and watching Twin Peaks. 

FYI - Over 48 hours have passed since I received my most prized possession and it has not left my body. I haven't bathed, I have walked my dog outside in this (fake Uggs for shoes) and mostly lounged around embracing my coziness. 

Best Valentine's ever!!

PS - My husband is so stinking proud of himself for this present and wants everyone to know that.

Shop Updates

The past few days I have spent countless hours taking photos, editing photos and uploading photos. I am getting a bit blurry eyed, but I am happy to report that I have started to add the first new items of 2012 to my etsy stores, with many more new items coming soon.

A shop update was long overdue and I can't wait for you to see some of the awesome new things. Here is just a snippet of some of the items that went up this evening, and dozens more will be in my stores tomorrow.

If you want more information on any of the items, just click the photo to be taken to that item's informational page.

Be sure to check out www.mycellardoor.etsy.com & www.nomsa.etsy.com over the next few days to see all the new items!

Today I....

Today I...

* Woke up to a puppy licking my toes

* Drank two big glasses of this for breakfast

(An apple, an orange, a banana, cup of strawberries, cup of carrots and a few handfuls of spinach)

* Threw a stick and kicked some pine cones around a parking lot for the puppy

* Downloaded Flo Rida's 'Good Feeling.' Proceeded to listen to it over 10 times and shake my booty around the apartment each time.

* Lusted after these shoes for far too long

 

via Nordstrom

* Decided I want to do the Empire State Building run in the next few years.

* Was delighted by having my husband come home six hours earlier than usual.

* Sat in the late afternoon sun and ate some chocolate chips while my husband talked to me about 'water rights' and 'easements.' Law school stuff.

* Googled 'How to kill fruit flies.'

* Moved from my usual work station at my desk to the couch. Never done this before and might need to make the couch a regular working location.

* Cuddled with this guy

* Got my weekly sodium intake via edamane doused in a beyond healthy serving of sea salt.

* Grunted and winced to my girl Jillian Michaels. No more trouble zones, here I come.

* Shared a few sweet kisses with my husband.

* Edited over 1,000 photos and made my eyes get all blurry.

* Laid all my nail polish out of the floor (all 47 bottles) and decided I need more. Light pinks and teal and plum and canary yellow.

* Squeezed a few balls of yarn. Wooly goodness warms my heart.

* Was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed the movie 'Hanna.'

* Worked on my sweater for a few hours. Basked in its olive green glow.* Watched my puppy watch my husband eat a pound of hamburger meat and a box of hamburger helper.

* Said goodbye to any free time. Finally started using Pinterest.

What did you do today?
