Check-in

So yes, I've been slacking. I've neglected my little blog & cast it aside. I'll admit to it, and admitting is the first step. The second step would be to actually blog... let's check that off the list NOW.

I don't have much to report on at the moment even though there's been a lot of stuff that's been going on, but right now, after a long day of work, I don't think I can think of anything to blog about. So instead here are a couple of pictures of my new flowers that have invaded the sun room. Grant it that they're fake but that's besides the point. The point is, they look awesome & I love having them in the room. From someone who loves flowers but can't stand that they die, these two guys make a great addition to the room. Thanks in part to Ikea... but mostly to me for buying it and displaying it so beautifully in my house :)

Fabulous

Winter wonderland of "snow"

I love my Tuesdays!

Hello gorgeous!
One of the great things about working in the healthcare industry are the hours. I work 12 hour shifts, 3 days a week. This means I'm off Tuesdays and Fridays (hello 3 day weekend... every weekend!). Now I'm not gonna lie, working 12 hours is definitely draining, physically and mentally. Usually by the 3rd day I'm a complete and utter wreck. It also kinda sucks that I go to and from work when it's pitch black outside. My whole day is spent indoors. But hey, in the end, I love that I have 2 extra days off to do whatever I please. Like last night, when I stayed up until 2am and didn't wake up until 10am this morning. Sleeping in rocks my socks.

So today I was planning on going out to Hermann Park to take some pictures... but after realizing I slept in a little too late, I decided against it. I had too much shit to do and I already spent the better part of the morning sleeping. I had to run a few errands, including picking up a few plants for my aquarium. I wanted Mr. and Mrs. Bubbles to have a nice home so there's a few new additions to the tank today. Hopefully the plants will do well and start growing nicely in the tank.

It's the little things in life...

One of the best thing to come out of winter is drinking hot chocolate with loads and loads of marshmallows :) I'm one of those freaks who constantly add more marshmallows when the others in my drink have melted. I think one time I gave myself such a huge sugar rush from adding like half a bag of marshmallows into my hot cocoa. It was great!

So last night I made some hot chocolate and cinnamon rolls to go along with the relaxing I was about to do. It definitely felt great being able to kick my legs up on the couch, pig out on cinnamon rolls, and watch tv. Nothing beats it.



Today I did something I never do... I went out and bought fresh flowers. I was in a "domesticated wife" mood, I guess. I wanted some baby's breath but the store didn't have any. So I settled on some flowers that were actually used in my wedding a few months back. I wish there was a farmer's market or something by the house so that I can keep buying flowers from local florists and not have to pay out my butt at some franchise store. Oh well, having the flowers sitting on my desk makes me happy. I feel good about life every time I look at them. It's the little things in life that brings a smile to my face. Thank god for weekends ;)
