Random Thoughts

I have been a super bad blogger. I just haven't been motivated enough....and it seems like nothing exciting is going on.

Shane took Addy and I on a drive up the canyon last night and then took us to Taco Time. It was the most enjoyable evening I have had in a really long time. It was such a simple thing but it was so great.

I have been super restless when I get home from work lately. It is like the minute I walk in the door I want something exciting to happen...but it never does. And then I don't know what to do with myself so I just watch TV or read. I really need some excitement in my life. Maybe I should take a class.

I took a nap on Sunday and then I got woken up from that nap like 15 minutes later and I was super pissy about. I told Shane about how mad I was and then he made me smile and then I was okay.

All the plants in my yard are super happy and big and full...and oh I just love it!

We got new neighbors finally and they seem really nice and cool. Such a relief!

And that is all the random thoughts I can think of for today. Thanks for reading!

Easter 2011

We had a pretty mellow Easter this year. It was a nice relaxing day with family. Addy was pretty excited about the Easter bunny...she kept calling him the "easy" bunny. Pretty cute stuff. I think her favorite part of the day was all the candy. How often do mom and dad let you eat chocolate at 8:30 in the morning?

Here are some pictures from Easter morning...with just one picture of Rosco thrown in...because he is handsome!





And here are some pictures of the hunt! Addy was the only kid so all 7 adults were following her around helping her find the eggs. She's pretty much the star of the family.








And just a couple of the candy eating.....



I just love the faces.

Good Morning

This was my view from work this morning. Isn't it nice? Ah things are nice when you get to work at 7:00 am....right?

Hello my name is Ariel and.....

I am more than slightly addicted to shopping on the internet. Are you? I mean it is one of the most amazing inventions ever, right? Just this week I have already purchased throw pillows, shoes for the little one, and three books for myself...now all of these things were on sale and I must say I am a complete sucker for free shipping (ugh, gets me everytime). My addiction goes deeper than just liking to shop...I also really hate going into stores..with tons of annoying people...around every corner..geting in my way!! I mean shopping in my underwear is so much more awesome. Well I know you are all aware of how cool the internet is but I just wanted to reassure you..thanks for reading. What about you friends, what are you addicted too?

Also for those of you that wear glasses you have to check out this website I've discovered Warby Parker. You just pick 5 pairs of glasses you like, they send them to your house so you can try them on...pick the ones you like send them back and get you prescription in the glasses you choose. Again no going in public! Amazing.

thank goodness for long weekends

Oh I can't even begin to explain how much I love long weekends! Have I told you how much I love President's day....it might be my new favorite holiday. I mean to have a day off in the middle a February and really I don't have to do a dang thing for this holiday! No stress! Just fun! Shane and I are going to go see "Just Go with It." Have you seen it? Is it worth seeing? I have heard it is hilarious! I also have so many things I want to bake...like zucchini bread cookies (doesn't that sound amazing??) and homemade graham crackers. Since Shane is working on Saturday I think I am just going to do it. No more talk...just doing.

What about you? Do you have any fun plans for this long weekend? And please don't tell me you have to work.

It's okay to be mad sometimes

So we didn't end up going to Chipotle for dinner as planned. Turns out tons of other people had this same plan cause holy moly there was a line out the door! So Shane and I went to our favorite little Mexican restaurants El Farol. I have been going to El Farol as long as I can remember...it is one of those cheesy little places with fake flowers and a lot a Mexican decor but you know they have the best nachos and carnitas I have ever had! It was a special little time for us. Addy was pretty good for most of the dinner. At one point during our meal she decided it was a good idea to get under the table and come over to me...fine. Then she decided to go back over to Shane...fine. After she did this about five or six times I finally told her to stop. So she gets under the table again and says "Mom, I am just so mad at you now." Freaking hilarious! It took everything I had to be stern with her and tell her to sit in her seat. She did and then decided she wanted to eat but by this time Shane and I were done eating. Oh well she did eat a little more but on our way home she said "mommy I'm huuungry!!" Needless to say we had to make a little stop at Wendys for some chicken nuggets. Love that girl!

Happy Valentine's day!

Happy Valentines day friends! Today I went into work late so Shane and I could have a little breakfast and coffee together. It was a wonderful start to the day. The sun is shining and I am happy so it is going to be a great day! Tonight we are going to go to Chipotle for dinner for some BOGO action! For some reason romance comes in the form of a pork taco for us and it makes me happy.

What about you? What will your day of love be filled with?
