Our Weekend in Pictures

Whoa, last week was a doozy, and this week is going to be pretty crazy too. I have a lot going on at work and am getting prepared to run the Hyannis Half Marathon on Sunday by eating as clean as possible, sticking to my training plan and trying to get a lot of sleep and kick this lingering congestion. Here's hoping I can make it happen! 

There is so much going on but I wanted to put up a quick post with some of the cute pictures I took of Maddie over the weekend and let everyone know that I still hate winter, especially after spending three hours running outside in it yesterday.

All of us had a three day weekend that made me wish all weekends were three days; it is just amazing what I can get done with just one extra day, and getting to spend extra time with my little family was pretty great. Highlights included: longs runs on separate days (yay for  not eating up a whole day!), Nutella pudding (by me) and banana bread (by Matty), Maddie's first time with  paints and a trip to the Museum of Science to see the dinosaurs and press buttons together. I know it is only Tuesday but I expect this week to chew me up and spit me out...right onto the Cape as soon as I get out of work Friday! Not so bad, if I look at it that way :) Hope your Monday disguised as a Tuesday is lovely!

Maddie made her first snowman!

Matty and I don't "do" Valentine's Day, but I came home from a long day of work and a board meeting to find a gorgeous vase of flowers sitting next to a perfectly crafted cocktail from that man of mine and it could not have made me happier. I tried to reciprocate with a cute coupon book that included a Groupon for his favorite German restaurant and a "get out of a diaper change free" card. Ah, romance, ain't it grand!?
Maddie wanted to wear my boots and take pictures. I sure love this outgoing little person!
Maddie's friend had her third birthday party and they hadn't seen each other in a while, so they celebrated by taking turns pulling each other in a wagon full of blocks. Toddler friendships are the cutest.
My little artist - taking her method very seriously.
Maddie asked me to put on her polar bear pajama shirt and shoes for her because she needed to go to her job, I asked her where she worked and she said "The playplace, Mama" as though that was the stupidest question she had ever heard. Then she picked up the phone, probably calling into work to let them know that her Mama was holding her up. Good work ethic on this one.

Showing Dada how to press buttons at the MoS.
Another work of art.
But seriously, this face! It tends to make all the stress and chaos melt away :)

A Day in the Life: Food Edition

If you haven't figured it out from this here blog, my life is pretty darn busy but I crave routine and do a pretty good job at sticking to a "regular" schedule, even if it does start at 5am and end sometime after 10pm. One of my most consistent things in life is definitely my eating. I love to eat, and love trying new foods and new restaurants but during the week I am the most boring person ever because I literally eat the same things at the same time every single day. At dinner, we get buck wild, but between 5 and 5, I am like a senior citizen. Here is a day in the life of what I am munching on: 5:00am (or whenever I stop hitting snooze) : one cup of coffee brewed at home with a hefty splash of half and half. I recently switched to the "light cream" store brand but that is as low on the fat as I will go - milk just does not do it for me like cream does. Post-run/workout (around 6:45) : second cup of coffee with cream Commute breakfast (between 7:1

Monday night and half a bottle of riesling.

You may be asking yourself now, "why the hell does Stef need a blog, she spends too much damn time on myspace/facebook/perezhilton as it is". Well, I have one because I need one. I get writers cramp too bad to keep a journal, and I can drink and type with much more ease. But really, I think this will be a good way to organize my thoughts, and keep my scattered friends better posted on my life. When your closest friends span from Seattle to Spain, it can be hard to keep them up to the minute on the important things in life - like what I'm doing on any given Monday night. (The answer tonight is sitting on the couch watching the Red Sox, while Matty reads the Augusten Burroughs book I just finished, having just ate a super yummy "smothered pork chop" dish that said Matty made, and applying for jobs at the Crime and Justice Institute). I really just plan on rambling on about my life, and sharing things that I think you ought to know like if Matty and I went for a bi

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
