Long time

Or at least it feels like it! I've been busy with guests and studying/finishing up my thesis like a madwoman!

Therefore, its a bullet day and I'll probably be scarce for the next week or so.

1. Great weekend with the in-laws, it is nice to have one on one time with them and we just relaxed, went to a car museum (Imagine old Great Gatsby type cars - neat and P is a car buff, so he was happy), had some excellent sushi, Indian and went to this Indy spot, St. Elmo's, a very cool, old school steak place. (Whew, I just read my run-on sentence!). Good weekend, we didn't get all of our errands done, so the beginning of this week was hectic. However, we had a TON of leftovers, so I'm not cooking all week - just reheating!

2. I'm officially addicted to Ebay - the past few weeks I've been finding everything I want on there. I just found P some Mountain Khakis and won them for a great price. I also won myself a Longchamp Le Pliage (Whee!) for my birthday! However, I went back and forth on size, and the small was just not what I needed for day to day, I think a medium would be better for me running around. I'm not sure what I will do with the small one I ordered, it's cute - candy apple green and would look adorable with a pink monogram. Really, I'm not sure how I'd justify buying 2 Longchamps for my b-day...! Actually, if any of you are interested in a small Le Pliage (great condition) let me know.

3. A high school friend (and still really close to my good friends) passed away this weekend. He was my age and just an all around nice guy. Really, I don't think anyone ever said anything negative about him. It is devastating for my group of friends and just incredibly sad. The gloomy, rainy weather just enhances my sadness.

4. My favorite snack these days? Simple - a small tortilla toasted with a handful of low-fat shredded mozzarella....Yummm. I also indulged and bought the Edy's Girl Scout Samoas ice cream. Decadent and made my stomach hurt! I hate that b/c I think I'll be wasting a tub of goodness but proves my ongoing thoughts that I'm partially lactose intolerant.

5. Now that spring is upon us, I'm excited because we are going to sit down and map out our summer plans (visits, vacations etc!). I can't tell you how much I want to get to the beach!!!! I miss the warmth...I do!

6. P and I had a great conversation and found ourselves on the "same page". We are happy where we are now, and the opportunities we have. However, our heart isn't here in Indiana (no, offense! We love, but not our home) and so we have goals for where and when we want to settle down. I'm a goal oriented/list person, so I need this structure. Call me crazy and I know life changes, but I love being married to a person who has the same visions for the future!!

7. I'm a nosy neighbor. Period. When I'm 65, I'll be a realllll nosy neighbor, you probably won't to live near me. Our office has a window overlooking the back alley of our neighborhood. Let's just say I know what goes on here.

8. Weekend plans: Study, go to the movies (Horton Hears a Who, The Bank Job) and find an ottoman. Downloading more Bluegrass. Love bluegrass music, perhaps because I grew up with it and have a better appreciation, and combined with Itunes Essentials (Contemporary Bluegrass is great) makes it easy for me to check it all out.

That's it, have a good week/weekend!
