I colored my hair!

Crouching Tiger got a new hoodie!

I took pictures with my dog!

I don't want to talk about it.
So I'll make this face instead.

I ate breakfast!

Ron Swanson moved in!

We gave thanks for all the things we've been blessed with.

Cristal moved into her new house that I built for her!

We got into the holiday spirit!

Everyone was enthralled by the Michael Jackson special

I got a stress fracture and went to the hospital!

I'm off work for 2 weeks so I do this....

And this became the greatest thing you'll ever see.

you are now hypnotized.

Whew.  Thanks for sticking around for that!  I'll be back soon for REGULAR updates.

In the meantime....watch the greatest video that you'll ever watch.  EVER.  

Favorite Things...

OH HEY GUYS!!!
I do apologize for my absence.  I don't know if any of you even care but...too bad! I figured that for my first blog back I would feature some of my favorite things...Oprah style.  Let's be honest....I'm pretty much just as successful as Oprah anyway.  This is a list of things that I love.  And I mean....L-O-V-E.  Like if these things were a man they would be Jonathan Taylor Thomas in the 90's and all you would want is for them to look you deep in the eyes and confess their undying love for you.......ahem....anyway.  Here's the list!

1. Romantic Jewelry

Corked Necklace In Heart  via ModCloth

5. Songza
The BEST APP ever.  You can also stream from your computer.  It features a music "concierge" that picks playlists for you based on your mood.  It's seriously genius.  If there is one app you download...let it be this one.

That's it! Pretty quick and simple.  I'm planning a big update filled with tons of pictures for tomorrow....a LOT has happened!
In the meantime....listen to this song and pretend I'm Timbaland singing to you "been a long time...shouldn't have left you...." and please forgive me.
