- Mike’s birthday was 10 days ago. His present? Going to Ann Arbor for the weekend and getting an amazing Ben and Jerry’s ice cream cake – the fulfillment of one of his life’s dreams. Oh yeah, and this. (Which came with a free this. It’s official, I win Wife of the Year. Sorry, ladies.)
- On our trip to Ann Arbor, I wandered into Urban Outfitters for the very first time and (after gawking at a headband that cost thirty dollars) found what’s been missing in my life: this coffee mug.
If you know the reference, we can be BFFs. - Also in Ann Arbor, we visited lots of fun little vintage stores, a vegetarian restaurant (Butternut squash enchiladas; my life is now complete.), and enjoyed a Michael Jackson fan dancing in a graffiti-saturated alley. A city fu ll of quirkiness and coffee shops And creative…eh, propositions?
- I continue to adore the fact that we live close to our family. And that my husband is adorable with small children. And the fact that I feel more and more comfortable with the idea of having children and being a mother. After watching The Business of Being Born and not crying out of pure fear – I think that once we get insurance and jobs that will last longer than a year, I might just entertain the idea of a bun in the oven.
- Tonight, I begin a weekly class called Graphic Design Drawing. I was tempted to forgo a class this semester since I’m adjusting to a new schedule and I stay after school most days, but I want to continue slowly working towards my graphic design certificate. It gives me energy to be doing something that I’m passionate about and that fuels my creativity. So, time will be made. (I have a feeling I’m going to gain 50 lbs by the end of this year, friends.)
- Finding time to create and list items (slowly, but surely) is rewarding. Most recently, I've made a few laptop sleeves and listed some new earring colors. I've sort of been wearing these earrings like crazy, so I'm excited to finally list some to share! (Don't worry, I'm not wearing YOUR earrings. Hehe.)

ReplyDeleteAlso the proposition is awesome...whomever Katy D. is sticking out...his GF/wife better watch it, minor yard work. lol
haha! ohhhhhhh you're so vain...
ReplyDeleteand omg, that proposition! oh my! I DO love that she does minor yard work tho, I might need to give her a call! ;)
ohhh a little mini mike or ashley is enough to make me SQUEAL! The only thing that could excite me more would be a mini john or sara, wanna whisper some baby sweet talk in her ear for me? ;) lol! i kid!
I've been wanting to see the Business of Being Born for quite some time now... did you know that I seriously contemplated studying Midwifery and birthing babies for a living? dead serious. But then I got scared. I still think about it a lot. I dreamed of having a water birth with Isaiah but paranoia took over...b/c I'm a worrywart like that.
Good Luck with your design class! It must be so exciting to know what you want in life and be working towards that goal!
geez, i should REALLY get on that. ;)
Ahhh, Carly Simon is lovely. We really should be BFF's. And now I want some darn ice cream cake!
