Hats and sweaters required

We live in an old building where our building manager controls the heat and sometimes..... It just doesn't come on. HA! We are forced to wear our hats and sweaters indoors. Good thing my mom loves knitting husband and I hats and scarves. Thanks mom!!!!! We really don't get mad about it. It's just one of those stories we'll tell about our first year married and our tiny, drafty apartment. XOXO

Little things make me happy



Did you know that some cereals still do free toys inside the box!!!!!!!!!!! I didn't think so. I was about to have a bowl of Apple Jacks yesterday when all of a sudden there it was in all it's glory a tiny plush Pluto doll. I don't even like Pluto all that much but who cares!!!! There was a toy in my cereal box!!!! It felt like Christmas day, like I was 5 years old all over again. I wonder how many kids now have actually experienced this recently. I hope my kids will someday still have that joy in the simple sweet things in life. So if any cereal CEO ever reads this BRING BACK THE TOYS!!!! THANK YOU APPLE JACKS!!!

no makeup required

Today is one of those great, super lazy days the type that you wake up in time for lunch. HA. NO need to get dressedor put on makeup. (**love***) It's raining today which at first made me a bit sad because all the really pretty sunshiny days have been when I'm at work (which doesn't even have windows) but I think it God's way of telling me to slow down, stay home and just enjoy that. I lit my pumpkin spice candle (it felt appropriate for this weather) and have nothing written on my agenda for the rest of the day. Maybe some tea and a movie at home with husband later but absolutely no expectation. ** sigh** I needed this!!

This is my last painting I finished before I went on vacation I just haven't gotten around to posting it. It's really how I fell about husband and I. We are at a really exciting place in our lives where something is about to change. We just need to be opened to it.

Happy Lazy Monday!!!! <3 <3
