Stuff & Things 9/10

>>I wasn’t home 30 seconds tonight (Wednesday) before I changed into my pajamas and washed my face.  J came home to find me at the kitchen counter with a glass of wine and a bowl of popcorn.  We were both up super early for work this morning (him earlier than me…Mr-I-Left-For-Work-At-3:09-AM), so to say we were both ready to collapse into the couch tonight would be an understatement.

>>Speaking of early starts–J’s new job has him going in pretty dang early.  As we got into bed last night, he admitted that he opens the door to our apartment so cautiously when he’s leaving.  “I just have this fear that there’s going to be a raccoon asleep up against our door, that I’ll wake it up, and it’ll run into our apartment in a panic.”  I guess this experience had a bit of an impact on him.

>>In case you don’t follow me on instagram (you should, by the way), I chopped my hair.  Some will say it’s still long, but this is the shortest my hair has been since I was growing it out a many years ago!  It’s so dang healthy now, which is exactly what I was going for!

>> I pushed myself to go for my run today (yesterday, when you’re reading this).  I wasn’t feeling too hot (hello, flo), but it was a run day.  I tossed around the idea of just not going but knew I’d feel much better about my life if I just went.  I was right.  If I accomplished nothing else, I ran.  I love that about starting the day with a workout.

>>Exciting things are happening this weekend!  I’m hosting a blogger party for local bloggers at The Gallery in South End!  If you happen to live in the area (or nearby!) email me for deets!  I’d love to have you attend!

Okay friends. I’m hardly able to keep my eyes open.  I’m out.  Have a good Thursday!

Pack Like a Pro: Moving Made Easy

So my friend called me last week in a bit of a panic. Without really meaning to, she and her husband sold their house and bought a new one. I'd tell you the whole story about how someone randomly showed up on their doorstep putting in an offer on their house that...

  2. haha to the raccoon thing. I always have those thoughts when I'm leaving the house in the dark.

    And yeah, I was unsure about shorter hair because this is the shortest mine has been in several years, but it's so much easier to actually style. I like the waves in yours!

  5. Ohhh your hair is so pretty!!!! I love the J thinks there is going to be a racoon when he opens the door. I mean, you can never play it too safe with wildlife. I have a huge fear of a gigantic spider hanging from the door in the garage when I go out for my run in the mornings. Have fun at your blogging party!
