an afternoon at the park.

Today was one of the most bizarre days in months. I'm exhausted yet nothing really happened. Work was really frustrating and challenging today and I'm so blah that all I have for you tonight is my favorite snapshots of n and I letting Oli run around at the park for awhile the other afternoon. :) I forgot about these and found them hanging out in my Picasa when I switched on my computer tonight. Oli is so big and gold now :) He's such a good puppy. He absolutely loooves catching the ball and gets so focused when we play with him. So, no captions just pictures tonight. I'll have a more exciting collection to share Thursday; tomorrow mr.ray and I have the day off and we're heading downtown for the Rockies game and possibly dinner in Boulder after :) Follow my twittertweets for live action :P

I'm sorry. I know the kissy pictures are kinda gross. But, its even more gross how much fun being a newlywed is :)

Hi Vday. Meet My Friend, Sick Day.

Hi kids...
I'm sorry I've been falling behind and quiet lately. I've had so much to share with you from the weekend, but the fact that Saturday night I started getting sick that I spent the last 48 hours in pajamas, no makeup, with ice packs on my forehead, and bags of cough drops, lounging around the house. The doctor said I was well on my way to developing Bronchitis and that I've caught what "80% of Denver has right now": crazy headaches, body aches, chills, fever, and a severe cough. Thank god I'm not congested. I haaaaaate not being able to breathe at night. It makes me angry.

I wanted to spend today's sick day recapping you on the weekend..but I ended up passing out cold, with 3 blankets tucked around me like in the hospital, blanket up to my nose, a big ice pack across the forehead so only my nose was sticking out for 4 hours straight.

Unfortunately, I won't have any HairToo(s)day for you this week. The last two days really laid me out flat and I needed all the rest I could get. I promise I'll make it up to you next week as I'm going to a wedding on Saturday and will feature 2 tutorials next week! :D I knew you'd understand ;)

If you happen to be within that 80% of Denver battling the same thing, I swear by a cup of hot milk, and a generous spoonful of honey for a sore throat. And Zicam is evil. Don't buy it. 

And for those that aren't against a little love from time to time..even if it's super cheesy and every body's doing it, it's still FUN to celebrate a

*Happy Valentine's Day*

I received an entire box of Rocher - my faaavorite chocolate after Toffifee - all to myself tonight, that N and I chowed almost completely gone within 20 minutes. :) 

And possibly a beautiful arrangement on sunflowers :) :) ♥ ♥

Love Is, All Around.

I love Christmas. 

I love this love it brings. 

The laughter. 

The drama. 

The food. 

Your Family and Friends. 

Especially when those friends get engaged (!!!) :D ♥

So far, it's been an absolute wonderful holiday. 

Wishing you all the very best Christmas

and the warmest and happiest congratulations to my friend J on her engagement. 

:D :D :'D

I know I've been a girl of small words the past couple days. My work schedule is all backwards and not what I'm used to. Closing tomorrow, so get ready for a pj, hot coffee, and blogging morning. 

For now, I have to share this with you.

I heart my husband

I had a total blast from the past this morning as I was Facebook surfing. I never realized N had this photo album on his Facebook "Jess and I"

It is the sweetest album, because all the pictures in it are about 4-5 years old. Can you tell he doesn't care much about his Facebook upkeep? :) 

I'm working on my Hair Too{s}day as we speak ;) but I had to post these to hold you over. 

:D

where to miss?

I hope you all had wonderful weekends! I seem to have lost all sense of time and date and after getting today to sleep in, go to Coney's for a comfort food breakfast, lay on the couch and veg..I have to go to woooooork!! :( *sniff* somehow I was volunteered to be the supervising manager of tonight's stock party at work. Since we are overstocked for the holidays we can't keep up with processing it and getting it to the floor, so myself and 5 other lucky peeps got volunteered for a piece of pie 7-12pm shift tonight.

I'm so stopping by Starbucks for a grande something (a venti is just a disgusting amount of any type of liquid).

But I have to say it's a nice balance for my lazy self, because otherwise I become too comfy in my veg state and never get back up. After our much too large breakfast we came back to the house and vegged about to some football on the couch, relaxing off our food coma (practicing for Thanksgiving right?) and goofin' around. About an hour ago N found Titanic on tv and agreed to flip between more football and Leo :) I got the good parts but it just makes me realize that that movie is most likely where my hopeless romanticism was born. A shaggy haired Leo, a beautiful Kate, piano music and never ending love left a little crazy haired brown eyed girl like me pretty defenseless. The "flying" scene as well as the drawing scene still produce the biggest sigh and make my heart flutter all over. :) :) ridiculous I know (Erin's going *siiiiiiiiiiiigh* :D )

how can you not melt. 

my favorite on screen love. hands.down.

♥

The rest of my free evening was spent with N and I sharing a couch; me spread out over half and N manning his 1/3. Oli making weird noises on the floor and getting a yummy breakfast from my hubby. Pulled apart pork sandwiches with a glass of milk. Oh soo healthy :) Especially topped off with a hot searing cup of caramel machiatto coffee. :) nevermind you starbucks! 

happy sunday .
