Nothing too interesting going on in this casa. Simple weekend fun. I woke up at 8 feeling much better than yesterday (thanks for all the well wishes). It’s funny how every time I mention I’m not feeling well the first question people ask is “are you pregnant?” In fact, anytime anything remotely baby related comes up in conversation people think it’s appropriate to ask when I’m planning to have kids. I can’t even say “awww” to a cute little toddler without people assuming it means I’m getting ready for mommy mode. I don’t really mind… Read more >

If I had to summarized Monday through Thursday in a single post…well…I can’t, so I don’t know how to end that sentence. But, where I was going with that intro was to say my week has been packed and amazing. Highlights reel? Sure, why not. Monday slash Tuesday I had night shift stuff.
