13 going on 30

was the theme of the birthday party we attended last night for the cutie on the left. I dusted off my skort and Aaron pulled out his best flannel to take us back to '95. He could barely look at me with my mom bangs. But, that's exactly how I used to wear them. I'm wearing a ladies Canadian tuxedo with my Canadian at my side. Classic. Happy Birthday, J! You make work bearable. Thank you!!

Editors note: I just noticed '27 going on 40' was the title of my last post. Apparently my age is all over the place these days.

27 going on 40

i stole two of these from another player (he was happy to be rid of it) at a white elephant gift exchange on saturday night. two huge packages of quality toilet paper? for free? yes, please. people were laughing and asked if that was my brand and i said, free is my brand. aaron shook his head, but i felt like i got the best gift! with just the two of us i won't have to buy toilet paper for a long time! i know this probably says lots of things about me, but i'm excited!

Air Jordan 11

Apparently these shoes are a big deal. All I know is I've never paid this much for a pair of shoes and girls are supposed to spend the most on their shoes, right? The "Space Jams" make their debut on 12/23/09 and Aaron will be the first in line. Literally. He's camping out. And so am I. The fact that all these shoes in the entire country of Canada have already sold out on pre-sale has him freaked out. He wants to be front and center at Foot Locker when they open on Wednesday at 5am.


I've never camped out at a store before. Not even for discounts on Black Friday and there are no discounts with this shoe. Am I excited? No. Am I being a good wife and going with him? Yes. If I was at home I wouldn't sleep anyway because I'd be worried. I'll be sure to take pictures and share the joy with you. Surely the government cannot have questions about the vailidity of our marriage if I'm willing to do stuff like this...

not that kind of girl

aaron and i gave one another gym memberships for Christmas. he'd been wanting one for awhile, but i think they are too pricey. lucky for him (and for my body) we found a great deal through costco. aaron wanted to go to a yoga class the other night, so i put on my happy face knowing i would not enjoy it. i was right.

i'm more of a pilates girl, but i can see and feel the benefits of yoga. it's everything else that comes with yoga that bothers me. the diehards, the music, the silly phrases. when our instructor wanted us to concentrate on mother earth and father sky a snort almost escaped my lips. the whole time i was itching to go running and hit the weights. i could not get out of there fast enough, but aaron wants to go every two weeks. i guess i can do that. right?

i'm still too lazy

to post my Thanksgiving pictures. maybe i'll just wait for Christmas and new years and have a photo trifecta to display. sigh.

yes, please

While shopping at the WS outlet I picked up their latest and greatest hot chocolate. This container retails at $19.95, which is about $14.95 too steep for me. But, it was 50% off and I had gift cards so a debate began in my mind.

A helpful side note at this time would be to know that I am super picky about my hot chocolate. Not just any will cross my lips. I'm not a snob, but rather most are too sweet and make me sick. I'm not a milk chocolate fan and most hot chocolate resembles milk chocolate, so I pass. Starbucks is my only safe zone. But, the side of this container boasted, "The chocolate is an artisanal bittersweet variety by Guittard, San Francisco chocolate makers since the 19th century. It liquefies quickly and consistently in hot milk". Liquid bittersweet hot chocolate? Count me in!

The decision? Oh, baby, it is just as it says. Aaron took one sip and was unable to continue. I forged on and was delighted with each swig. If you like hearty hot chocolate as I do, this is your brand. Just find it on sale.
