Various types of comas

Holy Hannah, today was busy!

I watched SC again today (3rd time this week), and he was thankfully much happier than he was yesterday...he was decidedly not a happy camper yesterday.  It was also helpful that Bruce came over and took some of the pressure off of me while I finished work and watched him for me.

After SC got picked up by his daddy, Bruce and I fell into a short coma...I've been tired from being sick and watching a kidlet, and Bruce is tired from studying, working, and...just being tired in general.  I was roused from my coma by a call from our wedding photographer who scheduled a sit-down with us to discuss details for our engagement and wedding photos.

After her call, I got another call that I was not expecting...  It was ERIN!  Calling me from New Zealand!  I seriously love that girl, she makes me so ridiculously happy!  I am so glad that she is doing well over there, but at the same time, I miss her to pieces, and often wish she was still here, BUT I know she's where she needs to be, having all sorts of new adventures!  So glad I got to talk with her for a bit today, definitely needed me some Erin time!

Tonight was also our evening of Pi(e).  We had a series of people stop by for a bit, partaking of pie and chatting for a bit, it was super good to see them all, even if it was brief.  Now I have a ton of pie in my fridge... Who's ready for a sugar coma?

The Pies have it

Tomorrow is Pi Day, and Bruce and I have decided to celebrate appropriately.

We're having a few of his friends over for pie and games.

With that in mind, I am baking pies today.  3 pies to be precise.  One Key Lime, one Atlantic Beach Pie, and one Transparent Pie.

I've made Key Lime Pie before, but I'm new to Atlantic Beach Pie (an interesting lemon pie I'm excited to try), and Transparent Pie (basically sugar pie...it's something they have in the South, and I'm pretty sure Bruce had it on his mission...we'll see how it turns out).

It does give me a chance to try out new recipes, which is always fun, and potentially good pies to add to my repertoire for Pie & Beer Day in July!

Nastiness

I dislike going to the doctor.

A lot.

Anyone who knows me well (or has lived with me) can attest that I will do just about anything I can to avoid going to the doctor.

But I went today to appease my loved ones.

And true to form, nothing was severely wrong, just a grody chest cold.

Keep your fingers crossed that it all goes away soon!

Four...G...B...

Why on Earth did I ever get a smartphone?

Seriously, it is the most aggravating contraption ever!

So temperamental and annoying!

Rant over.

For now...

It's a pretty safe bet...

I caught something grody in my lungs.

I actually feel fine apart from the occasional tickle in my throat, a heaviness in my lungs, and the fact that I sound pretty manly at the moment...it's super sexy.

It's a cruel irony that I was away from Bruce for most of the last week, and now that I'm back and can theoretically see him, now I'm sick and don't want to contaminate him.  Fate has a sick sense of humor.

In other news, I get to watch Bruce's nephew tomorrow... I think I'll dub him "SC" (for Super Cute) on this here blog, because that's what he is, super dang cute!

It's not the years, honey, it's the mileage

I came home today to find a bunch of funny, sweet, and smile-inducing sentiments written on post-it notes from Bruce all around my apartment.

It's crazy how much I missed him this past week.

As his mom put it, "It's harder to not see someone for 5 days when you know you CAN'T see them for 5 days", or something to that effect...I don't have the mental recall to remember it word for word, but the sentiment is still intact.

I am super glad that from now until we are married, neither of us will be out of town for longer than 2 days.  Granted we do NOT see each other every day, but there is definitely something to knowing that if we really made a concerted effort to see one another, we could, and we wouldn't have 770 miles between us (Yes, that is the actual number of miles we were apart this past week).

So when I came home and saw those notes, I melted a little bit inside.

He fills me with such inexplicable joy, and I was ecstatic when I was finally able to see him in person this evening.  I am so excited to become his wife, and I know he will be an incredible husband.

Growing & Going

True to Washington form, it is raining cats and dogs again...pretty sure I just stepped in a poodle.

I'll be heading to the airport here in a little bit, crazy to think that it's time to head back already, but at the same time, I am more than ready to get home and see Bruce.

There was a bit of excitement here a little bit ago, my niece lost her very first tooth, she's growing up pretty fast!
