-I am 33 today!

-Valentines Day pizza at Porta. Drinks at Avenue.

-I had apple cider donuts with cinnamon whipped cream and Glogg for brunch on Sunday because I could.

-I am starting to realize a whole lot about my life.

-bought Jack Egyptian Magic lotion because he is one rashy baby.

-OK, seriously job...calm the fuck down. This week honestly feels like it was spent doing nothing but stressing about work and babysitters. Deep breathe. Find the good!!:

-Ryan painted our dining room ceiling black! I can't even with its majesty....

-we're having babysitter woes. This new girl we hired asked to make pasta (duh, yes, of course, spirit food animal). but then made a whole box and took half home with her. Am i being weird or is that not just the strangest?!

-Took Jack to his first baby yoga class...which was also my first 'mommy and me' sort of outing with him. He liked it (going upside was his favorite. a cacophony of moms shaking and banging on musical instruments made him scream...i get it, dude). I found out that I am an awkward mom around other moms. They all just felt very mom-like. And I didn't feel like talking about grocery stores...

-Ok this might have been the worst week of my life career wise. So much so that I had a sit down with Jack and told him to never ever have a job that stresses you out this much especially if the work isn't bettering yourself or the world. I hope he was listening.

-BUT--one of my best friends had a baby so pretty much all is right with the world. Welcome baby Hadley! Already so super loved.

-Ryan and I got all sorts of up to date with our Oscar movies--Imitation Game and Birdman...both great!

-Cauliflower. just cause.

-Life feels awesome and exciting again which can only mean that winter is waning and playgrounds here we come!

4/52

-So winter happened. And I ADORE our house in the winter. We live at the beach but for some reason, even when we first came to see the house, I only pictured us there in the winter---by the fire, looking at the snow through the million (drafty) windows, listening to Rolling Stones records and watching movies.

-V and S came by for snow day soup and homemade bread.

-I bought this book because of the page that reads: 'Can you randomly e-mail me weird blog links that remind you of me?'

-Jack is an official crib sleeping baby. My favorite thing to do in the morning is to go into his room and hear him cooing and see him smiling. He wakes up happier than anyone I have ever known (never change, Jack!)

3/52

-Jack laughs are upon us!! He really appreciated the hens in Ryan's rendition of Old McDonald. We discovered this last night when I was fuming mad about laundry/Ryan/being forced to watch Workaholics and then that little bug chuckled and I was like "What laundry?"

-It is our 1 year wedding anniversary. How the fuck? Celebrating tonight with gobs of liquor, bar food, elevator rides* and coke slurpees*

-I've been sort of killing it with yoga lately, if I do say so myself.

-Talula's for pizza din--yes yes yes! Anyone in the central NJ vicinity should head over!
