It's the Little Things

I am seriously so darn lucky. It has been a rough week with how I have been feeling emotionally and physically. (3rd trimester SUCKS!!) And it has been even more frustrating with both my OB and thyroid doctors on vacation and unable to answer my questions. But Gator Guy is my rock. He is always there for me and surprises me with the little things.

Today I got an ecard telling me to feel better. So simple, and yet means so much.

It reminds me of when we were just young and in love and AOL was cool. We would send ecards all the time to each other, and I remember spending hours looking at websites for the perfect card with the perfect song just to say hi. It was just what I needed today.

And even more kudos were given to Gator Guy this weekend. I spent most of the time in bed and he came home with a big smile on his face saying he bought something at The Man Store (a.k.a. Lowes) for the baby. Totally confused at first but then realizing that it was at the Man Store that had the perfect chandelier that I wanted for the baby's room. I of course have been on a hunt for a cheaper version, but he thought he was a necessity and a perfect little gift from him to her.

He is truly amazing.

Nancy and Lindsey

So three things happen when my Dearest E and I have extend our Friday happy hour outside of the home.

1. We venture over to a very dark and sometimes depressing dive bar just near our house. We know that this bar is always dead and yet it always seems like a good idea.

2. We spend a lot of singles on the juke box playing songs like Whiney Houston, Mariah Carey, and Bell Biv DeVoe. We are always convinced that everyone else will love our brilliant music selection. And in fact they do. Everyone was jammin it out. Except for the old guy asking for Pearl Jam. Pearl Jam....seriously?? Am I wearing a flannel shirt and doc martins?? No. I stopped that outfit the day My So Called Life was cancelled.

3. We suddenly call ourselves Nancy and Lindsey. I'm not sure where the names came from. I think Linds always had that in her back pocket, and mine was just recently created. But I am beginning to embrace the new alter ego.

We also tend to text our husbands. Well....actually Linds always texts Gator Guy to let him know our plan and that we are going to church. Whatever. It's pretty funny to us at least at the moment.

Calming Jam of the Week: This Life by Ryan Huston

In a week where everyone is pumped up for the New Year and celebrations, I'm just a little off and have been in a bit of a funk the last couple of days. Just not my normal self...not really "here"... not having my normal mojo. But one thing that just changes it all is these two boys coming home with tulips (yes, beautiful tulips even in the middle of winter) and a loving card from my Gator Guy. They truly are everything to me. And the Calming Jam of the week by Ryan Huston says it all:

I love you more than you will ever know,

How sweet this life, I'll never let you go.

Nothing compares to holding on to you,

I love you more, this I confess to you.

5 Things - 5 Days

1. I am still on a high about the Bronco's win today against the Chargers. It reinforces that a close second to watching Jay Cutler fail is watching Philip Rivers do just the same. My soon-to-be-BFF-Tebow did a fantastic job (even when allowed to throw.) I have to give some MAJOR props to that O-Line for letting the T-mister have an eternity in the pocket. But either way, the win feels great and this season is looking up!!!

2. Thanksgiving was amazing. Family, Food, and Fun...what more could you ask for. Plus - Gator Guy smoked a Turkey for round two of Thanksgiving on Saturday. He was up at 6am to begin the process while I slept sound asleep. Hands down the best turkey I have ever had. Strong work Gator Guy. Strong Work.

3. I totally skipped Black Friday shopping this year. Probably the first time in quite some time. For some reason, it just doesn't feel like the Christmas season yet without the hustle and bustle. Who went out in the wee hours of the night or morning?? Any hot purchases?? I'm a little sad I missed out on 40% off at Banana Republic. Damn you Banana...why did you not invest in the newspaper advertisement!! However, I plan on indulging in some Cyber Monday for sure. Anyone know of any HOT DEALS?? I plan on checking out Sports Authority for gifts, Bath & Body Works for face wash, and Victoria's Secret...well because, Mama needs a new sexy bra.
