for the new year

Jon got me a new calendar!!!!

We actually went to the calendar store together and he let me pick it out.  It was a hard decision between "fat cats" and "women in waders" but I think I made the right decision.

It's going to be a good January.

I even managed to get some color before the storm clouds rolled in.

Now we're showering and getting ready to go get Jonathan his Christmas present.  Yay!!

being sick on my birthday

UGH

At least Jonathan is here to take care of me and do madlibs with me.

reunited and it feels so good

Yay!!  Let the birthday festivities begin!!

: ) : ) : )

They love each other.

he was nice

This woman today at work asked me if I could connect her to another store.  I told her I could look up the number on my phone and she could use our phone to call and she was very appreciative saying, "thank you so much, I forgot everything at home".

Pointing to the little face sticking out of her stroller I said, "you didn't forget that precious angel".

That's all it took for her to take him out of his stroller exclaiming, "he won't like you if you pet him in there but watch what he does when I put him on the floor!"

If you're wondering what he does, as I was, the answer is that he runs around in circles really fast, only stopping to cuddle with me or her.

haha : (

I like him.

At first I could only get random pictures when he would stop long enough to gaze up at her.

But once I gave her the phone and she was distracted I got a few better shots of him.

I like how he was nice.

I was sad when she put him back in his stroller and left.  It was early in the morning too, so the rest of the day was a real drag in comparison.

I'm excited for tomorrow!!  Jon said it's like 10 degrees up there.  This was the temperature here when I was leaving work:

Perfect weather for Santa's Enchanted Forest!

I can relate

I saw this today at the apple store.  Yes, it's a child asleep on the counter of the genius bar.

At first I wondered how he could sleep with all of the commotion around him, but then after thinking on it for a bit, realized that there but for the grace of God went I.

Thankfully I managed to make it home without falling asleep, but I know dreamland is not far away.  I'm opening tomorrow, I'm using that as my excuse for why I'm already thinking about bed at 7:50 at night.

Again, at least I didn't fall asleep on the counter at the apple store.

I have neither a barbie picture, nor a rabbit picture to post.  When I google searched for "barbie rabbit" I got Jessica Rabbit, so I went with it.

I'm excited that all this Christmas and new years nonsense is out of the way so I can get ready for my birthday!!!  I had intended to go yesterday to get my early birthday present of a new phone but I got sidetracked with other things, so it looks like its going to be another couple of days of challenging picture taking.

I'll do my best to keep up with 2013 though.  I'll just have this in repeat for the month of January, for inspiration:
