Super Sunday!

Go Patriots!  

I'm not a huge football fan, but when it's the home team you can't help but get excited for the game.  I sent this cute little number down to Jerz for the lil nephew to wear since the Jets aren't playing anymore this season.  He's happy to be sporting his NE pride today!

What A Day

It's Saturday.  The first Saturday of the month.  

That means this morning the boyfriend got up at 5 am and got ready to be an Army man all day.  I got up and made him coffee, got him a granola bar for breakfast and saw him off.  Then promptly went back to bed.  

This Christmas the boyfriend and I said we were going to take my parents out to dinner.  They have been wanting to go on a double date for some time now and we thought this would be an excellent way to make that happen.  When texting my parents this morning about where they want to go for dinner (cause mom just got a texting plan and it's new and novel) I got a call from mom.  She was hit at a stoplight in her brand-new, about 100 miles, week old car.  Boo.  Jerkface.  Momma is ok, just upset that her new car is all smushy. 

Poor New Car

We ended up going for Mexican food.  Yum.  One of my favorites.  

Today's photo direction is a stranger. 

Aren't they cute!?!

Ok so these are my parents.  Not technically strangers...although since I've been able to talk back (I'm a sassy child.  I admit it.) I've been telling dad that his direction for me to not talk to strangers backfired...I've never met anyone stranger than him.  BAHAHAHA.  Oh I'm punny. 

The boyfriend is currently poking me (literally).  He wants me to pay attention to him instead of the bloggy.  So goodnight all!

FRIDAY!!!

Friday is one of my favorite days of the week.  Not only does it bring the weekend, but it means I get to spend the next few days doing things that I want to do (most of the time).  Usually that involves spending quality time with the boyfriend...since we live an hour away from each other and only really get to see each other on the weekends (we are awfully busy and important people after all). 

Today's photo challenge is hands.  And since the boyfriend just landed on the couch, I took a picture of our hands.  Yes he looked at me funny.  Yes he puts up with my quirks.  Yes he has plenty of his own.  

And if you could see his hands now they would be full of the remote control. 

*Gasp* Three Posts in One Week!

Wheeee I'm on a roll!  Three whole posts (ok the last one was a quickie, but it was still there!)  

Today's photo challenge is "words."  

Now you may be thinking...Kate the challenge is words...this is a blog...ok so there are words on it, but ?????  The blog you are looking at is by none other than @BebeGetsWordy (tweet her ya'll she's cool shit).  She's writing an amazing movie "EPIC HISTORY."  It will be a hit.  

And cause I'm a sucker for this cutie...

*Runs Through Blogland*

oh hello my pretty little blog!  it's been a while.  a long while.  a very long while.  I do apologize!  

so a lot has happened since I last put fingers to keyboard.  but isn't that the joy of life.  things continue to happen and life rolls on.  

last I updated there had been a hurricane and a snowstorm.  I lost a lot of stuff including my shed, lawnmower, power (my current record is now 10+ days...not something I want to try again), and a tree in the backyard. 

my poor shed.
