Hey there! Happy 2012, peeps. I hope your year is starting off swimmingly. Ours actually is, which is good considering that I spent most of the last two days of 2011 being an emotional, horomonal sissypants. (My hypothesis is that the boy was going through a massive growth spurt, which made me uncomfortable, gigantic, and brought with it a surge of horomones that left me a sobbing mess. If you have proof that that's not what happened, then I don't want to hear it because it's the only way I can explain myself without admitting to be a complete psychopath.)
So we've got some catching up to do, don't we?
1. Mitch is still the cutest dog who's ever lived. He's been polishing off the last of the homemade dog treats that we made in Virginia for all of his dog friends and cousins, which means that Matt and I have been finding little cheesy flax-seeded biscuits buried in blankets and couch cushions all around the house. Right now he is barking at sassing me because Matt is watching football and Mitch hates football. He'd rather go lie in his dirt spot, which is currently a mud spot because it's raining. Seems fitting, since I just made our bed up with all white linens.
2. I love this commercial with my entire heart and soul.
3. I also love these Asian Turkey Meatballs with my entire heart and soul.
4. Matt is a crazy ellipting fool. Did you know that? Did you know that after he implemented a self-improvement plan a year and a half ago he's been the incredible shrinking Matt? And that every time we see someone we haven't seen in a while they say something along the lines of, "Oh, wow, Matt! You look great! What is your secret? Amazing! Oh, hi, Mandy." It's extra fun now, you know, now that he's knocked me up and I'm getting fatter by the second.
5. Oh em gee! I totes forgot to tell you that my former almost fiance Matty Fraker who owns the cupcakery in Richmond, Frostings, was on Cupcake Wars tonight. It replays on Tuesday at 8 p.m., so if you have the chance you should totally watch it. Shoot yeah, Matty!
6. Have you watched Downton Abbey? If you haven't, you totally should. It's pretty and smart and a little bit soap opera-y but not stupid. AND, it's on Netflix Instant, so you have no excuse not to watch it. There are only 7 episodes in the first season (oh, silly British television's short seasons), but season 2 begins again soon. Plus, it has the handsome Matthew Crowley who is handsome and has a nice accent and looks good in a tuxedo and is also handsome.
7. Not really doing any New Year's resolutions this year because I'm a little busy gestating a human, and all I really want to do is get through the year without being a psycho. So that's my resolution: not to be a psycho. Shecky says that saying not to be a psycho is too definite and possibly unattainable, so I should actually make the resolution to be less of a psycho. Either way. My goal is for the crazy to be on the decline. How's about that?
8. Our New Year's Eve was pretty lame, even by our homebody standards. Matt had to work, and I was in such a foul mood that I went shopping with a scowl on my face, so I went to Publix and bought a no sugar added reduced fat cheesecake (which was surprisingly good) and some sugar-free Jello (can you tell I have a glucose test fast approaching?). I ate half of the cheesecake (it was a little one), and still felt like an angry troll, so I decided to take a nap around 9:00, in the hopes that I would wake up a better person. Surprisingly, it worked. I woke up when my neighbors started setting off fireworks at midnight, ate a bowl of booze-less Jello, and Matt and I watched Downton Abbey (seriously, go watch it now). So the 2011 part of New Year's Eve sucked, but the 2012 part was pretty nice.
So that's what's going on here. Was crazy, am not crazy now, hope not to be crazy in the future. Dogs are cute and cheesecake is delicious.
How is your 2012 shaping up?
