Wednesday Ramblings

My skin is flaking like a molting snake. Winter, you're being a real dick. To do: get facial. Yikes.

I went to yoga last night and despite not having gone in a while I felt so strong. I'm attributing my daily core work out to this. My goal was to strenghthen my core to be a better runner and here it is among me a better yogi too. 100 sit-ups while watching the news (or Thomas) in the morning is so simple. Why didn't I stick with this before? Also, yoga felt so good and my sore legs hurt so great today.

Work has been so crazy busy but so awesome. I had a meeting with this incredible little organization that's been doing really fantastic work near my neighborhood for lots of years and I felt totally inspired by them. I got to meet someone who is just as passionate about reentry and reducing recidivism as I am and we made plans to talk more over rotis soon. I chatted with someone who has had an incredible career including bringing down the Warlock motorcycle gang and helping get America's Most Wanted started. So busy. So tired. So thankful.

Meetings at work went late tonight so we got home late with a pizza and a chatty toddler who was just as happy as could be. Those three hour naps that her magical nanny is having her take are working wonders. Mary Poppins has nothing on our nanny!

Two more days until the weekend. I'm going to yoga again tomorrow and get some time to myself Friday evening. This weekend we are going to the winter farmers market because this awesome donut bakery will be there (oh, irony) and Maddie starts her new semester of music classes. It will be above freezing too! Can't wait.

Justified is on the DVR and I have a super handsome dude to cuddle with so I'm going to end here.

Happy Wednesday!

Good-Bye Green Line

Tonight is officially my last night as an Allstonian. Or a Brightonian. I won't even live off the green line after I wake up tomorrow morning. No more 45 minute train rides that stop every block, no more "This train will run express to Packard's Corner". Tomorrow when I wake up I will pack the cat into his carrier, grab my purse and my husband will drive me and this baby in my belly to Dorchester, to our home, where we will have our first baby, our first wedding anniversary, where we will be "mom and dad" for the first time instead of just "husband and wife" or "Stef and Matty". I will use the vacuum cleaner Matty bought last night, the first new vacuum cleaner I have ever owned in my twenty nine years, and I will hang up pictures from our wedding, our trips to other states and time zones, pictures of our friends and our families. And on Monday I will wake up and catch the Red Line into work. It won't take too long, despite being fart...

5 Things I Love // 1

I love a lot of things and I really like to share these things, so I am starting a new weekly post just to talk and share and maybe hear about what other people love. Love it! First of all, I hope everyone had a chance to reflect of the life of Dr. King today, whose words never become antiquated. Today more than ever his speeches, his work and his method of non-violence are great examples of how to fight for social justice. Every year I spend some of this day talking to Maddie about Dr. King's message and I can only hope that it helps form her and inspire her to be a change agent in her world. On to much less meaningful things now: five things I am totally digging. 1. Nars blush in Orgasm . I have had this on my to-buy list for ages and was forced urged by my husband to finally buy it Saturday afternoon before a date night. I love it. It is the perfect color, the perfect amount of shimmer and actually lasts the whole day. Sold. 2. Bastille Kitchen in Fort Point. Spea...

Winter Wish Listing

I feel like I have been home a lot lately. Like, way more than usual. It probably has a lot to do with the mass amounts of snow that we have been getting and the hibernation mode that puts me in as well as the fact that I have been going to the gym in the morning now, so I get to come straight home, which is awesome. This is going to be the last winter in this apartment, which of course has been making me stare at the walls and daydream about our new apartment, and I have decided that there are only a few things that I want that I don't have now: One or two of these little buggers would make me very happy, maybe just one since they are 85 pounds. Did I mention that they can climb trees?? So cool! I miss having a bedroom closet. I have a wardrobe, which I love, but I also have a serious addiction to clothes...and shoes...and jackets...and having an equally fashionable husband. Not having the storage space just plain sucks, and I refuse to live without a closet anymore!!! I want more...
