And some more randomness

I have the freaking cutest friends ever.  SL went on vacation and gave me a heads up to check my mail.  

She freaking bought me yarn in Iceland.  How awesome is she????  It's so pretty!!!

I managed to break every single pair of casual sunglasses I owned last week.  I have 4 pairs.  I broke EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM.  I had to wear my ugly running ones (the ones that make me look RIDICULOUS).  It was a sad week for me.  

I did find a new pair that are somewhat decent, and bought those.  But I really need some new glasses.

I spent MORE money this past weekend and bought a new mattress and boxspring.  So, in the past three months I have purchased a car, a sofa, a computer, and now a mattress.  I'm pretty sure I have run out of big expensive things to buy (I'm not buying a house anytime soon, so don't worry about that).  

I really didn't want to buy the mattress yet, but I've been waking up super sore every day for the past month now, and I finally caved.  I really needed a new one.  

On a fun note, I was totally Goldilocks while buying the mattress.  I went to the store and requested a firm mattress.  I lay down on the first one and it was way too firm.  Like sleeping on wooden slats.  Then, he had me lay on the second one.  My butt sunk in like 8 inches.  Way too soft.  

Then, the third one was JUST right.  So I bought it.  Go me. 

Happy Birthday to me!

I turned 30 on Labor Day.  Since I was turning old, I decided to embrace the birthday and just have fun.  

I started with happy hour on Thursday with a bunch of work friends.  People at work like me!  They showed up! (Or they just like alcohol...either way).  

Then, RR came to visit me for the weekend, and we took a random trip to Atlantic City at 1 in the morning.  Always fun.

I picked L up the next night from the airport, and then, on my actual birthday, we had a family dinner and BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN!!!!    

Such an amazing birthday weekend.  

Keeping Ferb warm

I FINALLY finished Ferb's baby blanket.  This thing was a beast to make.

I had up to 17 balls of yarn attached to this blanket at one time (16 of them were continuously on there).  It was ridiculous.  

You can kind of see all the strands of yarn heading towards the middle of the couch cushion (I kept all the balls of yarn stuck between my sofa cushions to try and keep them from tangling as much).

So, here it is all finished.

And, just some gratuitous cuteness.

I LOVED this blanket and really wanted one for myself.  But seriously.  I will never make this thing again.  It was a beast and I don't really like myself enough to spend the time making it.

Boring randomness

• I  went for a run today.  It was not the best.  I had a fight with myself taking both sides for the last mile.  My legs were tired, my calf and hamstrings never loosened up, and I just wanted to stop.  So, I spent the last mile telling myself, just make it to that next tree, then you can stop.  And immediately after that, saying god dammit, stop whining and keep running (I was probably a little meaner and used some nastier language than that).  It was an interesting ten minutes.  But, at least I didn't stop.  And now I'm sore.  Annoying.

• I was cleaning over the weekend and came across all my old CDs and I decided I may as well get rid of them since I never listen to CDs anymore.  I was looking through them and found some old mix CDs from college and I decided to combine them all into one playlist on Rhapsody.  I apparently had a weird appreciation for Ja Rule, Phish, and Catch 22 back in the day (most random mix ever).

• I saw Batman over the weekend.  It was really long and drawn out and I had such issues with the whole point.  I kind of felt like the explanation for why this was all going on was so lame.  It was like the bad guy woke up one day and decided to be a dick.  However, other than that, it was good.  Just a little too long.  

Time for a change

So I caught a whim that I needed to cut my hair.  And it needed to happen RIGHT NOW! 

Amazingly, it did not go as badly as I feared.

Little V and Ferb

Ok last picture of the baby for a while (but seriously, these two are just so cute)

Can you handle the cuteness?

Because it is absolutely killing me. :)
