I can't believe...

I can't believe I'm wishing my child a happy birthday for the SEVENTEENTH time, but Shadow:  HAPPY BIRTHDAY - for the SEVENTEETH TIME!  😂😂😂

I tell you all the time how much I like you and I love you, but I really want you to know that I'm so proud of the awesome person you are growing into.  You're kind, you're funny, and you're open-minded.  You're good-looking and you're talented.  You're responsible and you're nice.  I really don't know how I got so lucky to get such an amazing kid, but I'm thankful for you every day.  You continue to be the best surprise of my life and I wouldn't change a thing.  ❤❤❤

My Favorite Nail Polish EVER

Shaun had a custom polish made for me. A whole collection, actually, but this is my favorite. 😃❤️

Peep that polish name...

Edited to add:

Y'all... OF COURSE I said yes.  We've been together for almost 9 years because we like each other a little bit.  😛

Wedding stuff isn't really my jam.  I don't have time to think about it right now, anyway.  I've gotta finish school for financial aid reasons first so it'll be a couple of years yet.  We do everything in our own time and in our own way, so no rush.  🙂

Apparently, this has been in the works since January. There is a whole collection of polishes because he had a hard time choosing just one and he knew I'd want them all. 😂 Two of my very favorite colors are brown and olive green, so "Marry Me Blu" shifts between those two colors. It's PERFECT.

Today was a regular day. I had just gotten out of class and he had just gotten off work. We were getting ready to go to be adults and buy groceries and I was sitting in my desk chair getting my list together. He came in, was squatted down checking on Bruce, then turned around and said something like "How'd this get in the floor?" and handed a polish to me. I knew I had not lost a polish so I looked at the name. I know my eyes got huge and I was like "Are you really asking me?" and he was like "Yeah" so I was like "Fucking yeah, then!" 😂 We are so romantic. Then he gave me the rest of the collection.

This was super great. He's amazing and creative and supportive and thoughtful and I love him. We're nerds. He named the rest of the polish collection with math names because I like that. Here's to 9 years in, plus many more! ❤

My boy. And you can see his face this time.

My boy. And you can see his face this time. ❤️❤️❤️

Took me a minute to understand the rhythm of this song, but that's the fault of The Weeknd. 😂 

Everything I've heard him sing a capella - I've liked more than the original. But I might be biased. 😉

Would anyone local like some bubble wrap?

Would anyone local like some bubble wrap?  It's mostly in smaller pieces (so you could wrap jewelry, or, um, nail polish in it).  I was saving it for when I had my Etsy store open, but I have wayyy more than I need and I hate to throw it out.  This is one of the rare times you will hear me say this ever, but it is free to a good home.  😛

I'm trying to regulate today, but I'm failing.

I'm trying to regulate today, but I'm failing.  This past week my diet has been HORRIBLE.  I just ate a Zebra Cake for breakfast so you can see how well I'm doing at getting on track.  I've got a headache and a million things to do.  I'm trying not to let it paralyze me, though.  Is it just me or does anyone else feel worse the day or two after you're coming down from major stress?

When we left last night Shaun's dad seemed ok, considering.  I think he was probably exhausted.  Shaun has a giant family so the house was packed most of the day.  There was tons of food.  His dad definitely will not starve.  He did give us a scare at the funeral - he kept taking these little pills for his heart.  The max he was allowed was 3 and he was supposed to go to the hospital if he took that many.  Well, he took that many, but of course he didn't want to leave so some nurses in the family made him sit down and calm down and cool off.  Thankfully, that worked.

It was really nice to see some of the family from out of state, but I wish it had been under better circumstances.  All in all, though, I'm ready to get back to normal.  If I can get through the next couple of weeks I'll have spring break so I can REALLY rest up for trying to finish out this semester.

And with that, I'm off.  I have plenty to do between this messy house and all the homework and studying I have to do.  Be well, everyone.  ❤
