ok…

It’s tuesday and I’m in no mood for my new blog. I have high hopes for it. More user friendly and ascetically pleasing buuuuut it doesn’t feel like home yet. That will probably take awhile. So sorry for the confusion. I might as well keep blogging on this old thing before the other is fully up and running {which will require the craftiness of my nerdy guy.. he’s always busy so it might be awhile}

I’VE MOVED… again

So I finally settled on a new home. I just wanted a little more freedom with the blogging sphere and found a way to get what I want.

my new address is:

see you there!

monday

Can something as simple as clouds make you blissfully happy?

As I was leaving school this afternoon, I noticed how bright the sky was and how incredibly beautiful and delicate the clouds were. We don’t typically have skies like this in the valley. It reminded me of Paris.

{see??}

Of course, the clouds here were a little less majestic but still managed to put a smile on my face.

I drove home listening to a breezy combination of french music {circa 1950′s} and Mozart. I have to say that it might have been the first time {since I moved from Connecticut} that I smiled all the way home at the sight of my surroundings. I constantly drove and walked around Connecticut and New York with a perma grin because I was seeing this:

{Connecticut}

{Central Park}

It’s pretty difficult living in such a beautiful place then coming “home” to what feels like Dante’s Inferno. Today was a lovely reprieve that renewed my faith in Arizona ever so slightly.

Cheers,

-Love, B

domenica

Sick sick sick. No Sabbath activities pour moi today.

Superbowl time. I’ll admit, I didn’t even know who was playing this year. Merek didn’t either though so I don’t feel too bad. We made a quick run to DQ for Orange Julius’s, a blizzard, and a 6 pack of butterscotch Dilly bars {for Merek}, then a trip to Fresh & Easy so I could have my popcorn that I’d been craving for over 18 hours.

Our Superbowl party was insane. It was just the two of us.. and Rufus. That’s our kind of party.

My favorite commercial of the night was the Google ad.

So clever and sweet. I loved it.

Another win was of course the Doritos commercials and this one.

Merek and I had a good laugh.

sabato

Blerg. Under the weather today. Woke up late in a sour mood but literally squealed with delight when Merek got home from his morning meeting at Barnes & Noble and brought me a treat! An miniature ART book complete with all genres of art but mainly Italian renaissance! *sigh* he spoils me and wins my geeky side over. He also picked up a WWII book for him, 2 books with tales of ghostly mysteries and a poster book with works from Robert Doisneau. {my favorite photographer}. I already owned the poster book so we’re taking the pictures and planning on using them for a B&W photo wall in Merek’s house. Can’t wait.

It was such a beautiful day that I couldn’t possibly sit home and be miserable. We went out to the SanTan outdoor shopping center and ate lunch at Paradise Bakery. We sat outside and people watched. We’re creeps.

2 boxes of cookies {to go} later, we went back home and curled up on the couch. I still wasn’t feeling well so I laid on Merek’s lap as he read to me. Some of the ghostly stories weren’t very impressive considering what we’re typically used to but I closed my eyes and listened to the rhythmic tone of his voice and was softly lulled to sleep.

Woke up to Merek saying he needed to head to Home Depot but I was much too comfortable to leave so I stayed behind and watched “Glee”. Yes, I am a Gleek. The show is silly, terrible acting but oh so addicting. When Merek got home, I made him watch it with me. He wasn’t so impressed. Or so he says.

Getting pampered feels wonderful if you can just say YES when someone asks if you are in need. I am not one of those people. I love doing things for others but somehow feel a bit of an inconvenience if I’m ill. Why can’t I just enjoy being taken care of?? Still feeling wretched and doubt I will see the inside of a church tomorrow. Hopefully this goes away soon.

Love, B
