I think it’s pretty apparent from reading the blog that the Pilot works a lot, and works extremely hard. Even when he’s home on the weekends, he’s been working on house stuff (lots of master bedroom, office and nursery furniture assembly lately) since we moved in. He had a couple of extra days off work…

To cap off an incredible weekend of festivities, –Christmas Eve dinner at my dadoo’s house –Christmas brunch at our house we all took naps and relaxed yesterday afternoon –I watched Christmas Story twice. Once with my eyes open, and once with them closed- and then went over to my mom’s house for Christmas dinner and…

One of the things I always find myself doing over the holidays is thinking about where I was the year before, because it’s always different. 4 years ago, it was our first Christmas in Valdosta, where I ended up meeting some of my closest friends. It was my first year of squadron holiday parties, decorating…

A lovely morning for chocolate (it’s hard to decide between dark chocolate with sea salt or almonds. This bar has both, which solves the dilemma. I always like a piece in the morning while breakfast cooks to wake me up) eggs and toast and a superfun Zumba class. I’m excited to get to take classes…

They discontinued the style I’ve worn for years, so I’ve been trying to find another brand/style that will work. The eye doc gave me a pair that’s fantastic, but you…

It was one of those days when I wanted to work out, but the thought of getting to the gym was the only thing holding me back. You know, like getting dressed in normal-people clothes and driving there in the cold. I also hate the thought of leaving right when the Pilot gets home for…

3 blog-related things from the day: 1.) The return of savory oats I say “oats” but it’s really Bob’s Red Mill hot cereal… oaty enough, though. Seasoned with nutritional yeast, garlic, sea salt, cayenne, and topped with a slice of goat gouda + the last bit of Nana’s famous egg casserole 2.) New kicks! I…

‘Tis the season for cookie overload shopping ‘til you drop holiday parties (Dick van Dyke!) cards (we got 4 today and I realized that we’re slackers) and my favorite part: spending time with family and friends. Sometimes this includes traveling to be with those you love, or entertaining out-of-town company. One of the things…

Today, I was on-call for work since my schedule is winding down until my leave begins. I didn’t plan on being off in case they needed extra coverage, but ended up not having to go in. So, instead of teaching, I got to enjoy my first Brother’s Breakfast and spend the morning with these two…
