Fortune Cookie Quote.


"Life consists not in holding good cards but in playing those you hold well."

This was in my fortune cookie on Friday night... I thought that this was a particularly good one! Definitely something for me to think about...

Ramblings...

Hi guys. So much going on! Here are a few things I have been thinking of sharing with you...

- One of my best girlfriends from college has been diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma. The news was a shock, as she is only 30... and I'm about to be 30... and well, it was just shocking! We don't see each other much anymore (she moved to a different city), but I immediately e-mailed her to see what I can do. This is my first friend my age to have something like this happen... I am hoping and praying for the best. Keep her in your thoughts!

- Our engagement announcement was in the local newspaper last week. I was very excited, as I read these announcements every single Sunday! It was pretty cool to see mine in there :)

- I am trying to find a dress for my reception. Because our ceremony is private and our reception is a different day, I'm not wearing the same thing. I ordered this dress from J. Crew and am waiting for it to be delivered. I love it and hope it fits!


- Smartest Cat Ever isn't eating as much as usual the last few days. He is eating, however, and using the litter box and playing as normal. I wonder if he is stressed? Significant Other and I have been very stressed recently with work and stuff, so I almost wonder if he senses that?

- I finally watched The Hangover... my stomach hurt the entire time from laughing! I thought it was pretty hilarious.

That's it for now. We just finished a delicious dinner of red wine, spaghetti (made by S.O.), Italian herb biscuit loaf, and cheesecake topped brownies (the last two made by me!). It was delicious! It is so nice to relax and be together... we haven't seen each other very much recently. Happy Saturday!

Relaxing Day.



We had no events this weekend! While I love birthdays, parties, dinners, get-togethers with friends... it's nice to have nothing on your schedule from time to time. Significant Other returned from Chicago Friday night at 10PM, so I cleaned and watched TV before I picked him up at the airport. Yesterday, we ran errands, made chicken fajitas for dinner (YUM), and watched the rest of the 24 season premiere (I love Jack Bauer!).

It's been raining all day today, which makes it a perfect day to be lazy! While I read magazines, caught up on my DVR, and ate pizza, I also did an hour of yoga. I used my Yoga for Health: Depression & Gastrointestinal Disorder DVD... I think it was a fairly successful 55 minutes. I will admit that it is a bit hard when a) Smartest Cat Ever thinks that I want to either play or snuggle and continually tries to rub up against me and grab my head with his paws and b) to hold the poses and look at the TV to see what happens next. It was a good step though in my plan to de-stress!

What did you do this weekend?
