We're Crazy

So yesterday morning, Ryan shook me awake and said, "It's 6:30."

It's six WHATY???

So with twenty minutes to spare before my commute began, I threw my hair in a ponytail, assembled an outfit of sorts, packed two lunches and put together a crock pot dinner for when we got home. I might have gone to work with questionable hair and without a face, but there was NO STINKING WAY I was about to miss a meal.

You know, when your day starts out that way, you just don't know what to expect from there forward. On the whole, the day wasn't bad. It had a few scary moments {enter my first attempt to color my hair since the orange hair disaster of 2006} and a few good moments {enter my ability to survive the last exercise in our workout when I thought about NOT surviving}.

But at the end of the day, my brain was indeed fried, so I'm sharing with you some truly random, truly Shafferish moments from our last week. We are a couple of gigantic goofballs. No other way to say it.


A few days ago, we went to an anniversary open house for some of Ryan's extended family, and it was held at a B&B kind of place.

We had to walk by these outhouses to get to the house, so I felt there was no other option but to have a photo opp.
 This is about as far as we go in starting rumors.
 And it is NOT TRUE. NO BABIES. Remember how I told you we overslept yesterday? When I left the house, in a snow-covered, low-30's morning, I wore my light jacket. No gloves. No hat. It never occurred to me. I told Ryan during our drive that if we had kids, I would be "that mom" among the teachers at school. "What in the WORLD was that Shaffer woman thinking? It is 30 degrees outside and she sent her kid to school in a windbreaker with NO hat and NO gloves."

I can't even parent myself.

What I can do is accidentally cut my bangs:
 What can I say? It was a Saturday afternoon and I needed a change. It seemed easier, faster, and cheaper than a tattoo. {Which I have no desire to get.}

Back to the B&B....Ryan found a tub.
 Oh man, how fun would it be to own THAT!!!!???

We also savored a sugar cream pie this weekend.
And by we, of course, I mean Ryan.

So that's us! Two giant goofballs who can't pass up a photo opp OR successfully hear alarms playing for two hours in the morning.

Please love us. :)

Thankfulness, Day 13: I am so thankful for my boss. Lynne is a sweet friend who makes working a pleasant thing...and I'm thankful for her. Maybe your boss could use a thanks today too - for whatever he or she does that makes you grateful.

Based on your encouragement I will send my boss a note today.

I love that!! I gave Lynne a note thanking her for her kindness - and gave her a Kind bar with it. {I'm cheesy like that, but she loved it. After all, she's the one that got me hooked on them!}

Polly - Thanks for the bangs love! I always love myself so much more with them and yet always convince myself to try growing them out. ????????

We are SO happy just the two of us - and if God felt it should be otherwise, I'm sure He'd change things up, but we are happy as a duo!

Love ya!

I actually DO have kids and I'm awful that way. Rachel had no winter boots all week because I was so busy trying to stay on top of Sam's winter needs. Blah :(
