A Big Little Life

I wish there was some way to know that you were in the ‘good ole days’ before you’ve actually left them

How perfect was the series finale of The Office last night?!

I’ll tell you! Absolutely positively per-fect-to!

It’s worth noting that when the Jim obsessed lady stood up to ask her question in the forum, TG looked at me and said “that’s just like you”.

True. I go hard for John Krasinski.

Up early and in a cab at 5:15 a.m. I’ve got an early flight to NC for the weekend. I have to say though, I feel a little like Buddy the Elf in regards to sleep. “I got a whole 40 minutes!”

Ready to snooze on the plane.
Even more ready to see my sister and mom!
And maybe most ready to have a Bo-berry biscuit from Bojangles.

I really fear for people with indoor ponds in their homes. I mean, I can barely go to the bathroom at 2 a.m without stepping on a dog let alone a STREAM running through the hallway.

My love for John Krasinski knows no bounds.

Very glad the other Boston bomber was caught.

Just got into a cab and my driver is blaring (and singing his heart out) to some very soulful gospel music. Off to a good start tonight.

And! AND! I’m passing lots of patio seating around the city! Come on, summer!

Updates

I haven’t written much lately but I’m finally coming out of the rut I’ve been in (damn you, grad school!)

Let’s recap.
TG and I got engaged in February. (Much more on that later)
We are so very excited. Truly.
But I have to admit, this wedding business is overwhelming.
Everyone and their mother seems to ask the same question.
“Have you set a date?!”
This question fills me with deep anxiety and panic. (And momentary thoughts of eloping in Paris! )
And then, “how’s the planning going?”

I suddenly get so overwhelmed by thoughts of venues, menus, flowers, decorations, party favors, and other nonsense details associated with the process of getting hitched.

First world problems, I know.

The only thing that seems to alleviate the panic is incessantly pinning wedding images and ideas on Pinterest. This provides me a false (but essential) sense of accomplishment. As if I’m actually being productive.

So, if pinning counts as wedding planning progress…then YES, lots of planning is goin’ down.

The good news is we’re thisclose to finalizing the venue and the setting of the date.

Three cheers for that!

Now there’s a shortage of yoga pants. And I know that sounds like a joke, but for white people, it isn’t a joke.

I’ve been saying these same things all winter long (so long!) in Chicago. Hurry up spring!
