Friday's Letters

Dear Sushi, I love you forever. I think I consumed my body weight in your delicious glory last night. I have been doing SO good all week (minus that oopsy piece of pizza at the zoo!) but all of that went down the drain when a giant platter of heaven was put in front of my face during the MIL's birthday dinner. I don't even feel guilty about it for two seconds. 
Dear Husband, The "I Told You So" moment last night was so very satisfying. A Japanese steak house DOES imply hibachi - You tried to get on your Asian high horse with me and I was having none of it! When we walked into the restaurant last night and there were hibachi grills all around I about died with "right"ness. Thankfully we were able to "salvage the situation" and sit on the none hibachi side. Your mistake ended in a delicious meal- double win! I love you so much sweetheart!
Dear Home, We are staying in you all weekend. Yup, that's right, no lake house... we are actually looking forward to a weekend of us three. John I'm sure will be doing NOTHING but reading his new book and playing on his new IPAD (spoiled boy). I hope to do a lot of relaxing and maybe hit up the sidewalk sales in our downtown :)
Dear Bubba, You are going to be walking any day. Those teeny tiny accidental steps that you took on Monday are no longer to be claimed as "accidental". And that walker toy you stole from Allie's house?! That thing is putting you over the edge of joy and happiness. 

I hope everyone has a truly fantastic weekend!! 

Friday Randoms

I have been craving sushi like CAH-RAZY, but the new "frugal" K & J cannot go out for a big DELICIOUS sushi dinner. It makes me sad... luckily there's a really great little Japanese market near our old apartment. John stopped there on his way home from work and picked us up a delicious feast (For 1/2 the cost).

Bubba is still being uncharacteristically fussy. Sometimes the only way to keep him calm is to sit him in front of the full length mirror at the bottom of our staircase and make silly faces.

Today after we were 30 minutes late for library time, we went to the craft store to pick up things for John's valentine's day gift. I am making him a fairy tale book of "our story". It's pretty hilarious because our story is, umm, untraditional. I am a creative person and love the idea of crafting in theory... but when it comes down to it, I do not have the patience. The book will be cute, but nothing Martha Stewart would touch with a ten foot pole. 

Also, because we were running late, I didn't have time to load Bubba's stroller into the car. Therefore, I had to strap my 20+ pound baby onto my chest with the baby bjorn. This has resulted in a back strain of monstrous proportions. 

Also, remember that acne I mentioned? I woke up with MORE this morning.. I was blessed throughout my teen years and all of college to barely ever get zits, and when I did, it was ONE. Now I have little groupings all over my chin :( WHAT IS THIS?! I will now be on the search for a face wash that will make this GO AWAY!

This weekend we are laying low. My sister is coming to hang out with us tomorrow afternoon so it will be nice to have some company while John goes and watches the MSU basketball with some friends. We will most likely rent the latest Twilight movie and drink a bottle of wine, and honestly- that sounds PERFECT. 

Happy Friday :)
