* Tuesday is proof that Ryan and I really are just dorks at heart. It was some sort of appreciation week in the health care world, and Ryan got a new water bottle as a gift...and he sent me a ton of goofy pictures with it, so then I started taking goofy pictures to send back. One of my co-workers walked in my office RIGHT after I took this picture. How would I even have explained this???? That evening, I worked hard to FINALLY get out our summer clothes. You know. Since it's MID-MAY!?!?
* Wednesday I worked my tail off at work...so much so that sometimes I actually forgot to breathe! And what was Ryan doing? Advancing to the final four of a tournament at his work! LOL!! That evening, though, heaven in a living room: I got a massage! She came to our home and gave me the massage {and Braeya joined me on the table for her turn}...and she even brought me chocolates for my birthday! Ryan came home with pre-birthday flowers, and it was just the perfect way to start the celebration!!
* Thursday was...MY BIRTHDAY!!! {More on this coming soon.} Ryan spoiled me ROTTEN with breakfast in bed at 4:30 in the morning, and then all my work friends spoiled me with hugs and gifts. I felt very loved. That evening, Ryan took me out to dinner, which was, of course, followed by coffee. {Not a birthday without coffee!} Loved my day! 37 is shaping up to be a good one!
* Friday, I had a day off work {trying to use random vacation days before I lose them,}, so I was busy catching up on housework, with the help of Miss Braeya. AND - I tried another new homemade recipe: DIY bug repellent with essential oils. I'll let you know how it works when I get to try it! Ryan went to work, but they had a fun day there, because he and his co-workers threw a baby shower for his their fellow therapist, Amanda. It looked like fun! I should have gone! :)
* Yesterday, we both had the day off, so we slept in and went out for a delicious breakfast. We took it easy all day...did a little shopping...did a little napping...ate a little ice cream...{absolutely meant to take that picture BEFORE I gobbled it up}. We needed a day like that so much. Thankful for it! And of course - thankful for Starbucks to cap it off!

So glad you had a good last few days of 36 (except for insurance - I SO don't get that stuff either!) and a good start to 37!
What a wonderful week! But it totally brought out a question that in my mind begs the question...how on earth do two people who consume so much caffeine take so many naps? lol perhaps the 4:30 am breakfast has something to do with it. ;-). But seriously when you nap in the evening do you ever find it hard to sleep that night? Do you adjust your bedtime? ... Those are just totally curious questions, nothing you have to answer if you don't want to! Happy belated birthday to Ryan and you!
Thought of you this afternoon as I enjoyed a skinny mini Frapp at Starbucks! :o)
Tamar - Insurance just makes my blood pressure go up...which makes me need insurance...which...see the cycle here??
Tina - you make me laugh!! MANY people have asked me that, so I'm not offended. It's a weird thing with us and caffeine. If we don't have it in the morning, we are just dead to the world, so obviously we are not completely immune to it. But it is true that we can drink Coke or coffee clear up to bedtime {and sometimes even drink it IN bed} and still go right to sleep. I've actually taken Ryan's coffee cup out of his hand before, because he fell asleep drinking it. And we don't drink decaf, ever. As for the naps, they don't really seem to bother us either. Now if I fall asleep within about an hour of bedtime, and get really far into deep sleep and then wake up and go to bed...sometimes I'm awake enough that I have a hard time getting back to sleep. But otherwise, we seem to be lucky with naps and caffeine. Are you sorry you asked?
Shari - Did you like it? I haven't tried one yet but they are so cute! I worry that I would suck it down in one gulp!!!!
HA! You are funny!! It was the perfect size for me even though I love them too but, I fill up quickly. So glad they came out with these! Didn't know it cost more to add raspberry! Ordered a white chocolate frap. with raspberry. Isn't that what you usually get? And, BTW, coffee doesn't keep us awake either! Great, isn't it?
Yes that is what we get - but I've only ever had it hot. Is it good cold? That's a dumb question. of COURSE it's good!! I will have to try it!!
We didn't get all our clothes switched out until late either. But since it froze last night (!!!), I don't feel like we're all that behind schedule. Gah!
