criss-crossed toes

I know I shouldn't count my chickens before they hatch. And I know that getting my hopes up only leads to disappointment. But I feel really, really good about this.

Please, please, PLEASE let this one work out.

catch 22

Upsides of vacation:

- vacation

- no work

- no having to walk the dog when you're tired

- sleeping in

- spontaneity & romance & family & fun

Downsides of vacation:

- making up the hours you missed at work

- being thrown off all week because you played hooky on Monday

- wanting to go BACK on vacation as soon as you get home.

First weekend of October, can't wait for you to get here. Denver, here we come!

um, yum

The fact that TOP CHEF: JUST DESSERTS is premiering tonight is enough to make me pry myself from the couch and attempt making Chinese food for my tiny little family.

home again, home again

I had a really great weekend full of my boyfriend's family, a beautiful wedding, and sweet sweet sweeeeet vacation.

Not to brag, but all I did this weekend was eat eat eat, walk on the beach and read a book about Paul Newman.

And now that I'm back in the real world, I'm taking the day to pretend like I'm still on a mini vacation. I skipped the gym this morning, picked my girl Vegas up from the kennel, took her to Chik-fil-A for breakfast, and now we're sitting around on the couch.

Oh, and we're considering adopting this little guy:

It was good to get out of the heat and away from work for a little bit. The rest of the day is going to be filled with job apps and planning for hosting Thanksgiving this year. Any ideas on either?

get your antioxidants here

I was supposed to go to hip hop class tonight.

Instead, I stayed home with Russell, had a good cry, and am currently drinking a big glass of wine.

Hey, I'm heart healthy either way.

"i'll pray for you, but not in a bad way"

I love having friends who know me so well that they can say ridiculous things to me that absolutely warm my heart.

I miss my Broken Glass girls.

keep your fingers and toes crossed for me...

Is an ingrown toenail lucky?

Let's hope so. Because I would really appreciate a whole lot of luck and crossed fingers right now.
