~This weekend was so crazy, I am almost glad it’s Monday. Almost. Like I mentioned last night, we were in Chicago Friday and Saturday for the Urbanathlon, drove home Saturday night (it’s over an 5 hour drive each way) and then spent yesterday doing homework, laundry and all those other fun chores. B was supposed to run a 5K in the morning, but he deemed that too early and skipped it. I can’t say I blame him. And then last night we went to the Zoo Boo! I think the past few years we went it’s been raining or freezing cold, but last night was neither and OMG it was packed. The boys had a great time and WB met his first Kit-Kat bar, so he was quite pleased with that. And I thought L was going to lose his mind when one of the trick-or-treating stops gave out cans of Sierra Mist!
~I’m not expecting too many subscription boxes this week. I know for sure I’m getting The Bride Box, another FabFitFun, a Pijon Box, GLOSSYBOX, Barkbox, and Appleseed Lane. Other than that, I’m not too sure?? I still have some reviews I need to catch up on, so things won’t be too dull around here.
~I am really really liking being able to reply to comments so everyone can see and also so that the person who commented still gets an e-mail letting them know I replied! I try my hardest to reply to all comments (except giveaway comments because that would be bananas) and if I miss one, I’m sorry ;(. It’s totally not intentional!
~WB has his 18 month-old well visit today and I’m not overly excited about it. He’s little and wild and doesn’t like to talk (B thinks that WB gets that from him. B thinks people should just KNOW what he wants) and loves to sleep and except for this current cold, is totally healthy. And funny. So funny. So is L for that matter. He and my mom were watching Bambi this weekend and as he’s putting the dvd in, he tells her “watch out, there’s some dying in here”. BAHAHAHA.
~This is the week were I start to go to bed earlier. FOR REAL. I’m on a bit of a roll and have been in bed by 12:30 the past few nights and I am going to try to keep that up. By midnight would be ideal, but I’d settle for 12:30am! I also need to order some more Spark and stop sucking down Diet Pepsi (don’t lecture me, I know I suck)! Two goals this week!
~While in Chicago went to Neiman Marcus in search of the chevron throw that is going to be in the special PopSugar Neiman March Boxes. They are remodeling the store, so I don’t know if it’s something they’d normally carry and there just wasn’t any space for it, but I couldn’t find it ;(. I am dying to see that thing! I suppose it will have to wait a month until my box arrives. Woe is me.
~That’s about it from here this morning. What’s going on for you this week? And how was your weekend?
I loved the barkbox this month. The toy is adorable and there is something in there that you can kind of cook up for the dogs and I did and my dogs went crazy for it. Do your dogs get super excited when you are opening that box too?
Anytime the mailman comes my dogs are excited. But they do enjoy when the kids open the treats that are in the box for them!
As I sit here with my first diet coke of the day (it’s not even 8am yet!) I think I need to figure out how to cut this habit.
Is spark REALLY a good substitute? I need the caffeine in the morning, but I don’t need the amount I currently drink.
Spark has caffeine, but if it’s the bubbly taste you like, it’s not a good substitute. But it won’t make you like need another drink after you finish it!
I have the same plans of going to bed earlier than 2 am. I also have plans of doing more with my evening hours than watching recorded T.V, lol. Seriously I just can’t get enough Walking Dead, Masters of Sex, Homeland and all the documentaries on Netflix.
I also have these big kinds of plans! I act like I’m going to clean the basement and it really turns into watching Dancing with the Stars!
Love the matching pjs. And their adorable faces
Aww, thanks!
Your comment about getting to bed earlier made me laugh. Only us night owls know that 12:30 is early! I recently got a part-time job (finally-a job) and have been going to bed earlier because I’m pooped. But….5 days off in a row I’ve been off work (no making money there) and I’m back to the 1:30-2AM time. Tomorrow is work all day!
I know right? 12:30 is early!!
I’m so glad that its Monday and N went back to school. My house is so quiet today but we have installed a new rule. M is not allowed to work the night before track back in since N doesn’t want to go to bed without him home and he was up way to late last night since he had to be up this morning. 😉 I guess we have 9 weeks to figure out this school thing again. LOL Good luck at the doctors. They are never fun visits. 🙁
That’s a good new rule! The doctors took 1.5 hours. I had such a headache. WB was good, but that’s just too long!
The boy’s outfits are too cute! And love the matching pjs! Also LOVE the glass vase of skulls behind them! My hubby gets upset whenever I try to display my skull collection, even at Halloween, so I only put them out in my office. I guess he wants a “grown-up” house with adult decorations or something. Borrrrr-ring! 😉
I like to think those are grown up. It could be worse!
I cracked up about L’s Bambi comment! What a character! And 6 boxes is not too many? Girl you are living the dream! Adopt me please!
He’s so funny. I know, I know! It’s wild (in a super fun way) here!
