hehe

So I literally published my last post and looked over to see Baby doing this.

good use of space

I have been way busier than I enjoy. It will be worth it in just a few days because we will be out of Denton. I will miss friends and miss the light traffic but I will not miss our ugly countertops and carpet! Baby has been very helpful during the move by making sure he fills empty spaces so the place doesn't feel bare I suppose. He has currently been opening and filling all the unoccupied cabinets, boxes, laundry baskets, and bookshelves. When we take another filled box to the car Leila makes is known that she is still in the apartment and not to forget her. Last weekend Paul and I worked, got haircuts, and watched How to Train Your Dragon in 3D. I personally hate this whole 3d phase and am ready for the next lame fad that makes them more money. 3D is wasted on me because I forget I'm watching 3D until something comes dramatically forward in the movie or I go to rub my face. But enough on that, Paul has heard my rants quite frequently lately. While we are on ranting, the new Scrabble rule of allowing proper nouns would make the game too easy! Basically those who currently hate the game will now like it for all the reasons they hated it before, and the avid, serious, rule abiding players will hate it for all the reasons they liked it. Does this make sense? Probably not haha. Comments? So back to the weekend. Sunday, Mom and Dad came to Denton to take some furniture back, so I am currently typing off of a clever set up of a box desk thanks to Paul. My goal today is to clean this mother top to bottom and pack up all of our remaining junk. I will let you know the status tomorrow. : ) Everyone have a good day! By the way, Paul guessed right off which frozen yogurt was mine-even before Mom and Alton totally gave it away. hehe.

spicy

Yesterday Paulie and I got to catch a quick dinner at Crooked Crust, a little pizza place in Denton, before he had to whisk away again to class. Poor thing has been so busy with school, but all will pay off in a couple of weeks. I'm so proud of you Paul! We got some sort of spicy sausage pizza, which was so pretty and pretty spicy. Yummy!

Last weekend Mom, Dad, and Alton came to visit the Dallas apartment! I hope everyone liked it! We almost have everything in, so I will take pictures of the finished product. Just a few more days in Denton thankfully! After lunch and Half-Pricing we went to a frozen yogurt shop located next to Container Store, which is located within a mile of the apartment. Yes, be jealous! Can you guess whose is whose? We all finished them! Thank you guys for coming to visit and taking us out to eat! We also got to talk with Staishy and Sean, and yet again experience the awkwardness that is the speaker phone. I'm sorry to say, but the family is obsessed with it! I never use speaker phone unless I accidentally push the button and then get confused as to why everything is too loud. But still happy to have the conversation anyway! : ) I love you all!

unfertilized eggs...

I have not been in the mood to blog, but today I am! So to catch you up, last weekend, Paul and I had a relaxing day at home, (first in a while), and dyed Easter eggs! I love it! The week was busy with the usual: work, cleaning, packing, etc. Wednesday, Stefan and I hung out around Denton, and by that I mean, we got ice-cream. What else is there to do? Wednesday night Paul and I went to Dallas and hung out with Amy, who by the way will be our new neighbor in a couple of months! We love you Amy! Its my own sick way of getting closer to having her as a roommate again. Yes, Daimy is back! The next day, Amy and I went to WhichWich for lunch. MMM yummy sandwiches and cookies. So after Amy and I payed, the cashier rings this bell and yells, "Hot wiches!!!" to which all the workers reply with the same cry, but louder. I figured they say this every once in a while to spice things up, because after all their sandwiches are all indeed hot. So, Amy takes our drinks up for refills... after a few moments I hear the bell ring and, "Hot wiches!!!". My back was turned, and I slowly turn around to see Amy annoyed and shaking her head. Oh Amy, you are indeed a hot wich. We decided to make our own sandwiches and cookies next time! Last night I did actually make chocolate chip cookies, and I would have taken a pretty picture but the new Pam I got was useless and the poor cookies are still stuck to the foil. No worries, they are still living out their cookie potential. fully. So this past weekend was busy with work, and doing laundry. The real low point I would have to say was when a customer asks how I have been feeling lately... to which I reply that I was feeling well... and then she asks if I knew yet whether I was having a boy or a girl. Wow. Thankfully the new apartment has a gym.

i love paul

The Easter bunny came early! I came home from a long day at work to find the best Easter basket. Thanks babe! It was a complete surprise and Paul can never contain himself when we walk in and I walk right past it, and then linger around for about half an hour not noticing. Yes, this is how messy the place is, (because of moving of course...) hehe. I did the same thing at Valentines day with the flowers he got me, and I'm pretty sure I did it at Christmas too with new presents appearing under the tree. I love Paul because he knows me so well and always gives the best gifts. I'm gonna have to step it up a notch for his graduation present. Speaking of graduation, Paul was officially approved for his graduation! Congratulations Love. Not only did I come home to yummy/fun goodies, but I forgot that I was making food in the Crockpot all day, so we had dinner waiting too! Alton would probably call it his "Pantry Raid Surprise"- it consists of pinto beans, rice, random veggies, chicken, and spices. Mmm tortillas complete the meal. Tonight we are going to relax with good food and fun! Thank you again Paulie. I love you!

inside is outside

Staishy, I hope you had a wonderful Birthday, and I really enjoyed talking with you! I can't wait to hear about your angel cake! Thursday Paul, Meredith, and I went to Dallas with a carload of more stuff. I'll just go ahead and skip the part about traffic, and Mina, (our gps whose formal name is Garmina) not being able to figure out that Wendy's is now actually a Pappy's- although we were so desperate we would have taken it had they been open, and then settling for nasty Subway. Yes, I hate Subway. This is how desperate we were. I usually pack a lunch for trips to Dallas, but I failed as a wife/friend/mother. Anyway, emotions were escalated. Well I didn't skip that part, but after today we will never speak of that trip again. So we dropped Paulie off at class and Meredith and I explored around the apartment. We walked around Container Store and Barnes & Noble- both within a few minutes from the apartment. It took every ounce of me not to come home with an Elfa closet... not that I could afford it. We also braved the mall even though we were definitely not dressed for mall walking. There is this neat little area you can sit in that is inside, but the roof is open, so we were in the mall but sitting outside? Much windier than expected considering we were just sitting in a box. Does that make any sense? Then we waited for Paul outside his class. Fun night! So today is one of our biggest sales at work, and Easter weekend, so it will probably be a long day. Luckily I work with one of my favorites, Belen. ; ) We might just have to go for a coffee run!

happy!

Happy Birthday Staishy! I love you and wish I were there to take you out for a pedicure and lunch! Sigh. Maybe someday. I'll call you tonight to see how your day went... unless you are still partying of course. ; )

sleepy smile

Baby Asa is the cutest baby! Well... until Paul and I birth out the cutest little mixed baby in the world of course. Yesterday I went shopping with Courtney and the family in Weatherford, then went for barbecue. It was a fun day, and I'm so glad I got to spend time with the Gardner/Bemis families again! Today, Paul and I are going to take another car load to Dallas. I can't wait to be there full time and experience all that is good about Dallas! Yes, I believe there are going to be lots of things. If we managed to find fun things to do in Denton, we can find it anywhere. With all the driving back and forth I've really only been able to experience the traffic, which is not at all at the top of my list. Today is a beautiful day, which might actually be one of the first times we will be moving without rain or snow! I'm sure that I will have many adventures in Dallas to write about later. Have a good day! I'm so thankful I don't have to go to work and hear lame April Fools jokes. : )
