We are getting MARRIED!!!!!!!!!!!!

Banana Bread in the Oven

So, its snowing outside...it finally got warm and a three day weekend is staring me down the nose...and what happens, we get sick. Luckily my immune system seems to be winning the battle, despite another few days up in Prudhoe and a migraine that has lasted over a week...but poor Dan on the other hand, is not fairing so well. I was really hoping to go to Alyeska this weekend to go skiing, but its not looking so good. In some ways, if our ski trip doesn't work out...it might be for for the best. I feel like I spend no time at home, and I am so far behind on laundry its ridiculous.

So tonight, I have my smutty tv, my favorite banana bread recipe baking in the oven, and an adorable puppy curled up next to me on the couch. If I don't go skiing but I get to have another night like tonight, it will still be a good weekend.

This photo was from our questionable ski trip up in the White Mountains...questionable due to the large boulders that tried to break my arm and my face.

Alright, puppy farted. Ew. Time to go.

not gettin' any younger

*yawn*

I dont know why...but, I haven't been sleeping particularly well. While I am not the person that requires a great deal of beauty rest...I still would like to get at least some nice, peaceful rest some time during the night hours...and apparenlty I have really sucked at doing so the last few nights. Maybe its just me getting older. Thats right folks, on Super Bowl Sunday 2011 I offically become an old lady. 26 years old. I know...break out the walker, fanny pack and orthopedic shoes.

I am going to go ahead and state the fact that its finally light outside after I come home from work. That is the BEST part of this time of year...realizing that the sun isn't a figment of your imagination and not have to worry about a headlamp every time you want to step out the front door (Okay, this might be a bit of an exaggeration...but tempting some days). I loooove Alaska, dont get me wrong...but the darkness all the time kinda sucks. And by kinda, I mean a whole lot. Anyways, tonight, I am going to go home...do some work in the yard and put Kepler in a real x-back harness for the first time. Its above zero, the sun is shinin' and I ain't gettin' no younger.

Oh and the picture at the top of this post is to remind me that summer is coming...one day.

p.s. just got back from taking the dog for a run...and lets say after half a mile in the boots, snow pants, two coats and a sweater with a tee shirt were all insulating the large excess of heat that my poor outta shape body was exerting...I was a sweaty mess. (but Kepler did a great job!)

p.p.s. Dan is putting dishes away...*sigh* simple thing bring the most happiness.
