Days 47 & 48...

New job + busy week = this post.

The King of Hearts - day 47.

The Queen of Casa de Smith - Day 48.

Day 44, 45, 46...Loooooooove

I spent most of the weekend whining because I still feel like total crap...which, once again, does not make for good pictures. I'm sure video of me whining is something you are all hoping for, though.

I spent another quarter of the weekend watching the Olympics. I'm all about them. I remember when I was a kid watching them with my parents, enamored with everything they're about. I remember Mary Lou like it was yesterday...ohhh, how I loved 1984, and Los Angeles. That leotard with the red, white, and blue. I totally thought I was bound for the Olympics after that. I begged, and begged, and begged until my mom (still reluctant) put me in a gymnastics class at the park district, and I got so excited to go on Saturday mornings. What I didn't take into account is...I was chubby, and I had NO coordination. Balance beam + chubby girl + clumsy = bad idea. So, that fun lasted about 8 weeks. But, I still love the Olympics.

This weekend also brought Valentine's Day. I'll admit...until about three years ago, I was a bitter single girl, who hated all this day was about. I'm still not all that into the day, but it's nice to have a day to remind my husband how much I love him, and buy him a silly card. We didn't really do much, but we did get out to see "Sherlock", which I loved, and discovered today that there is talks of another movie with Robert Downey, Jr, and Jude Law. Yum.

Today's picture is just a simple rock...reminding me of V-Day.

Day 42 & 43 - Tired

Day 42 - I started a new job today, which really didn't give me a lot of subjects for my project. I met my husband for dinner, though, and this bear greeted us at the door of the restaurant. I'm totally going to look into getting one of these for home...it would scare the pants off the dog. (Wait...what kind of dog wears pants!?!?)

Day 43 - New job day 2. I hate the alarm clock, and I hate the cold even more than I did last week. It's REALLY cold outside when the sun hasn't come up. I'll admit, not having a real job for six months...makes one forget what it's like to get up really early, sit in traffic, and NOT fall asleep at stoplights. I took todays picture on my way home this evening...still wanting to fall asleep at all the stoplights...but able to catch this shot instead of napping.

Day 41 - COLD BELLY!!!

We got about a foot of snow yesterday!! When I woke up this morning, I was happy to see the sun, and I think Guinness was, too. When I let the little boy out...I quickly went to the front window to snap this picture...I knew the snow would be all the way up to his belly....and I knew it would be a great picture.

The cute boy might have a cold belly, but he really seems to love the snow!!!

Day 40 - Wintery Mess

Ugly day today...and another ugly day ahead of us. I'm soooooo over this crap!!

38 days till spring.

Day 38 & 39 - Sick. Yuck.

I admitted defeat that I was sick on Friday. I really didn't expect to still be feeling like total crap on Sunday, or even Monday. So, once again, two lazy pictures.

Day 38 - Superbowl Sunday - I convinced myself I felt good enough to go watch the Superbowl with our friends Jen & Louis. It was also Jen's birthday...21 again!!!! This photo is of their son, Matthew, who on a day where the thermometer hovers around 35, thinks it's far too warm in Chicagoland for him to wear a shirt, or socks. I love that you can see the blue in his face...not from freezing...but from the screen on his fancy DSi. Life is hard when you're four years old...isn't it??

Day 39 - Still sick. This blows. We also expect a zillion inches of snow over the next 36 hours...I really really love when my favorite shows (tonight, it's Castle) remind me the entire 60 minutes

that life is going to suck for a few days!!

Day 37 - Lobster

Another day spent in bed. Not much to take pictures of when you don't go any further than the bathroom. BUT - one of the best episodes of "Friends" was on this evening!! Those that know me, know how much I love that show, and those that don't know me...you would think there's seriously something wrong with me by the number of times this show is referenced in my daily life.

ANYWAY...this particular episode (The One with the Prom Video) is the one where Joey & Chandler become bracelet buddies, Monica julienne's tomatoes, and Phoebe insists that Ross is Rachel's lobster. Which is what the picture is when Rachel figures it out.
