Hey there, happy Monday!  My Monday would be a little happier if my Eagles could have pulled off a win (insert disgruntled noises) yesterday, but hey, what can you do.

On the bright side, I finally had a weekend that was semi-relaxing and wonderfully boring.  After another long week of late nights and one actual morning gym session (NEVER AGAIN), it was pretty much a requirement.  Not only did it involve naps and lots of sweatpants, but I even managed to squeeze in some DVR time and was in bed every night by 11:30.  Yes, it was all very long overdue.

Speaking of overdue, I also started watching Homeland.  And, um… OMG.  Seriously.  Where have I been?!  I am actually kind of disappointed in myself that it took this long.  Brandon and I fully intended to do an all-day season 1 marathon, but unfortunately, didn’t make it as far as we wanted.  But we fully intend to give it our full attention next weekend.

I also had a lovely dinner with some of my favorite lady friends on Saturday night, resulting in lots of talking (which definitely ended up getting really loud- sorry to the other patrons…) and a crap-load of wine.   (See previous parenthesis.)   Not that I could have a bad time when there’s pad Thai involved, but I definitely needed a relaxing night like that.  I hate that when life gets really busy, it gets so hard to make time for your friends, but I really need to be better about it.  I always feel lighter after spending time with people who know me and get my slew of little quirks, but still love me despite them.  I always just feel a little bit more centered afterwards.

In other random news, I got scissor-happy last week.

It was bound to happen sooner or later.  Hopefully I’ll find some time in the next few weeks to let a professional make that situation a little bit less “I just cut my hair over the sink and oh hey now I have bangs”.  Or I’ll just rock them like this, either way.

Alright, well I’m going to stop rambling now.  I’m pretty excited for dinner tonight- we’re going to check out a restaurant that I’ve been wanting to visit for a while now.  And the reason we’re going to dinner on a random Monday night is to celebrate 2 whole years of wedded bliss.  It’s hard to believe it’s been 2 years (9 that we’ve actually been together), but there is no one else who I would rather play the “lets see who will empty the dishwasher first” game with or beat at Jeopardy on a regular basis.  Seriously though, he’s the best. <3

Later kids!
