Today is The Day

The alarms (plural!) went off this morning. We were up and at it (note: I was supposed to be up and at it a good 1.5 hours earlier to run--I am nothing if not consistent in my need for sleep). The dogs were not thrilled.

Ella Mae was giving me her signature "You're kidding, right?" side eye. I can't blame her. Two years of sleeping in will do that to you.
Still, I somehow made it out the door on time--clean clothes and all.


Of course, I forgot my lunch and thus paid for mine with change--I'm sure the chick at Corner Bakery won't be happy to see me return--ever, but, that's her issue.

But, empty coin purse and sleepy dogs aside, it's a good day. It's the husband's first day of work in a long, long time.


We're thrilled.

Now, if only I could find someone to pay me to sit at home with the dogs and watch Friends, Bones and House, then, we'd really be onto something!

And ALSO: Tomorrow is my sissy in law, Rebecca's birthday! Becca, I love you so much, you're the best sissy ever, I'm so lucky to have you in my life, even if I refuse to believe that we're getting older. Love you times a million! And miss you too! Come visit! xoxox
