zicam, take me away

ugh. i feel like snot today.

on the upside, it is pay-day. and it is my opinion that one of the greatest contributions of the south is chick-fil-a. twice a month, i plunk down $4.17 and indulge my guilty, dirty pleasure of a #2 breakfast combo after depositing my hard earned paycheck. oh my gadd. its like buttah.

so my stir-fry actually made it to the wok last night, and we ate picnic-style outside, to enjoy the spring weather. we played in the yard with frank for abit before wandering back in, and decided to run to mr. k's, for a minute. mr. k's is this way super awesome used book/cd/dvd ~ buy/sell/trade kind of store. very hip. very cheap. we found the box set for the 1st season of dexter, a book for bella and a gift card for shelley's birthday. afterwards, jason pulled into Pier One and said, "lets go look at candles." i don't ever argue with insanity. especially if it might mean i get something out of the deal. especially if that something is a ginger-peach candle. they had a big sale going on and i walked out with some tea lights and 4 tins of my favorite smell.

suhhweeet.

then, after a months worth of talking about it, shelley and i officially began our walking last night. i can't say that we'll win any iron woman championships anytime soon, but it was a start, and jolted our tickers into high gear for a little while.

i got in rather late, sheepishly. and to my surprise, jason was still up. we jumped in the shower together where i enjoyed the immensely scrumptious fragrance of my new bodywash by dial: soy and almond milk. faaaaabulous.

jason was acting really suspicious, wondering if i needed anything from the bedroom and such....i said no and he asked if i was going to be a minute? i can read him like a book. so i played along and took my time. when i finally emerged, he was nowhere to be seen and the bedroom door was closed. i opened it and squealed with delight.

there were candles lit everywhere. and he'd hung up my gauze canopy that i couldn't live without, 3 years ago. i saw one set up at a Bed,Bath and Beyond and drooled over it for over a year. when they finally went on sale and i had the extra money, i snatched one up. but aside from a brief stint up before our move to NE, its spent much of the last 3 years, folded in its package. i took a picture last night but it really didn't do it justice. i was going to post a link but i'm entirely too lazy. so just trust me when i tell you it was All That Is Awesome.



needless to say, much gratuitious lovin' followed.
