So much awesome in just a few hours

I really loved this day. I loved almost everything about it.

I got a really great compliment from my boss (who was relaying a compliment she heard about me from another manager).

I was assigned two new projects at work that will give me more opportunities to be creative. (Seems like these are fewer and fewer as of late.)

During lunch break, I had my very first gel manicure with my super sweet, fun, and adorable friend Staci.




My cube neighbors claim they can't hear me crunching on my daily apple. This is a big deal, because I love my daily apple, but I am well aware that apple eating may be one of the most annoying sounds EVER to cube mates. (Note: If you've never had an Empire apple, get one. They will rock your world. Better (and cheaper!) than honey crisp! You're welcome.)

Cheri came back from maternity leave. (I'm sure this made me happier than it did her.)

I came home to a happy baby in the Johnny Jump Up playing with a giant plastic spoon while squealing with joy and a full turkey dinner made with love by my fabulous mother-in-law. (Note: She claims she had to bring the food to make because it was going to go bad. But I'm going to pretend she brought it to make because she thinks I'm awesome and deserving of a giant turkey dinner after a long commute and full day at the office.)

I got to play with this goober. (And contrary to how it appears, I am not snacking on Baby Boy's head.)


And now the day is done. And I so don't want to pack up for work tomorrow. I just want to crawl into bed. Hopefully tomorrow is just as fun. Though this one may be hard to beat for a little while.

This is FIVE

She slowly tiptoes out of her bedroom and pulls the door softly until it clicks closed behind her. Then boldly with purpose, she walks into our room, stands next to the bed, and taps me on my shoulder until I reach underneath her little arms, hoist her up, pull back the covers, and get her situated between us, snuggling in for the last 10 minutes of sleep. But today was a little different. The routine was the same, but instead of sleeping, there was way too much excitement. "Mommy, is it morning? Am I this many?" And she holds up a whole hand of fingers. FIVE. Not a toddler, not yet a big kid. She's that perfect in between. Oh, how I love this girl. I want to be more like her when I grow up. She loves fiercely. Listens quietly. Speaks up when she feels like she's being wronged. Nurtures like no other. Her favorite color is pink, but rainbow is a close second. On Monday, I asked her what she wanted for her birthday dinner. She chose the exact same thing we were eating ...

"Title Goes Here"

I've had about a week to myself as my better half and kids went off on an adventure in Colorado. I don't remember the last time I had this much time to myself. Last week, I exercised the right side of my brain as frequently as I could. I finished two quilt tops and several random quilt blocks. I didn't exercise my body; my brain needed the attention. There's something immensely satisfying about cutting up fabric into smaller pieces, mixing it all up, piecing it back together, and creating something entirely different. It's my therapy. I listened to music loudly. I sat by the fire and stared at my phone for too many hours. I went on a quick work trip. I stayed up too late every night. I balanced the checkbook and paid bills. I made poor eating decisions and drank far too much coffee. Then today, I deliberately did nothing. No music. No creating. No makeup. I rested. I started reading a book. I watched a little t.v. And in the spirit of doing jac...

Tiffany Tries Things, part 2

Welp, I've settled in, and my days are filled. My floors aren't getting mopped nearly as often as they did at first. That said, I haven't tried as many new cleaning supplies lately. This year I've been focusing on taking care of myself--something (someone) I've been neglecting for far too long. Here are a few of my current favorite things: 1. Thayers Lavender Witch Hazel  - Anyone else ask for toiletries for Christmas? Just me? Okay then. I had been wanting to try this for so long. And I'm so glad I did. My skin has never looked better. And the best part about it is that I believe it will last me a year ... and I use it twice a day. That makes it cost <$1/month. 2. Norwex Makeup-Removal Cloth  - Pretty sure I wrote about these before, but I'm too lazy to look. I just love them so much. I have one. I need to order more. Not that I wear much makeup, but I like not having to buy an extra makeup-removing cleanser in addition to face cleanser. Ain't ...
