• I had all day off yesterday. My plan was to sit around and Netflix all day. So I watched Queer Eye and some Discovery Channel stuff and Fact or Fiction: Paranormal Files. I can't even watch scary movie previews by myself... active imagination... so I don't know what I was trying to prove. Creepy Nicole sat on the floor and watched almost the whole episode; during which she would turn around, look me in the eyeballs, and meow-talk. I'm positive she was experiencing paranormal activity in her kitty brain. Anywho, I made it to noon before I went stir crazy/creeped out and decided to try being a "housewife". I cleaned up and did some dishes, and in true housewife style, had some wine. Then I made dinner. Ah-mazing.
• Public announcement in case of emergency: I took off a giant chunk of my ankle last night while trying to shave my legs. Ankles are tricky. I'm pretty sure I experienced a major blood loss-- because I was CPR and First Aid certified 4 years ago so I know what's up. Ben put a Mickey Mouse band aid on and said I should be fine. So if I randomly die or pass out and it's traced back to my ankle-skin-shaving fiasco, I told you so.
• I'm going to travel back to the LM tonight after work and hang out with my sistas... because I technically have 3 of those ever since the wedding. Tomorrow Brianna is going to do my hairs and give them some saucy sass. And then Brianna, Jessica and I are going to head to Mexico (aka Mexican restaurant up the street from my parents' house) and have half price margaritas... because that's how we roll in the LM.
• Found out last night that my left ear is slightly bigger than my right ear. How did I find this out you ask? Well because I was pulling my ears out from the side of my head and making a monkey face at Ben. Why? I dunno. Seemed like a great idea at the time. 
• We opened our joint checking account this last Saturday. It was nearly an hour of me and Ben sitting silently in this woman's blah office while she tried to remember how exactly to get everything set up because she "hasn't done one of these in awhile." Once that was all set up we OBVIOUSLY headed downtown to go on the Lakefront Brewery Tour. We needed some beer.
• This wedding book that I'm making (all our wedding pictures crammed into one glorious, giant photo book from Shutterfly) is awesome. It's just taking forever and then a week and a day to finish. I love Shutterfly photo books. And our wedding photographer really did an amazing job. Look! We are on the front of his website because we are some snazzy kids.
