Stuff & Things 1/1/15 (whaaaaat?)

by | Jan 1, 2015 | Throwback | 17 comments

>> We had a “Bailey Day” the other day.  I took her for a good long walk.  We took her to Tractor Supply to pick out some new toys.  And then we spent the afternoon playing with her new toss toy in the backyard.  By time we got inside and gave her big surprise to her, she was too tired to enjoy it.  I’d just like to point out that while I’m typing this, she’s working on the smallest little nub that’s all that’s left of that bone.  *we supervise her while chewing.
>> I met my friend Daniel for a drink last Friday.  He was in town from Nashville, and we’ve been buddies since middle school so I demanded asked to meet up!  It’s always just so good to see him!  While we were at the bar, someone taps me on the shoulder and goes “oh, my gosh.”  An old HS friend was there meeting another old high school friend!  We ended up having a sort of accidental high school reunion and it was such a great night or reminiscing!  Funny story: my friend couldn’t remember my maiden name.  It was on the tip of her tongue.  “It ended with an “ens,” right?”  I stared at her blankly.  “Really?” I asked.  “That’s the part you remember but you forgot about the Dick?”  Well, of course when I said that it seemed to go quiet in the bar and I swear half the bar turned and stared.  It made it to her instagram! hah!
>> Coming from the girl who admittedly claimed to hate sandwiches a few years ago: I’ve been on a massive sandwich kick.  First it was subway, but that was getting expensive.  So I bought all the stuff I like and I’ve been a sandwich making queen the last few weeks.  I’ve also discovered the wonder that is pickle slices on a sandwich.  Yes, I’m like 8 years old in my food discoveries.  Whatever.
>>It’s currently 7:30 on New Years Eve while I’m typing this and I’m minutes away from washing my face and slipping into my onesie.  The hubs and I have big plans of a massive cheese plate, some happy beverages and maybe some games!  Cheers to the New Year friends!!

    • Oh, and PS…Chris and I were party animals last night and both fell asleep on the couch watching the Mississippi State game last night. I woke up at 10:45 pm and celebrated the eastern time zone "midnight" and headed to bed. My argument was that I was born in the eastern time zone and therefore it is perfectly to celebrate news years as such. Totally legit.
