So lately I've felt like I should blog, but mainly I've just been working a lot, which doesn't so much make for interesting reading (or writing). But I'm going to try now, and I'll also try not to rant as I often do in my blogs. :)
There are some things I'm excited about at the moment:
- Seeing my family in a couple weeks -- my sister, bro-in-law, and niece are repatriating to Illinois from Texas, and we'll get to celebrate my nephew's and mom's birthdays together.
- Going to see a new apartment that is a little bit smaller than our current place tomorrow -- we wanted to move last year to someplace smaller and hopefully also cheaper, but after looking at one place that was extremely disappointing, we gave up and re-signed for our current place. This year, the place we're going to see sounds awesome (a condo whose owners are moving to California). Let's hope it is.
- I'm YouTubing Mary J. Blige right now. Fun!
- Valentine's Day with Mark was really, really nice. We did a lot of chatting throughout the day (which in a marriage of two introverts isn't all that common) and caught up on all the latest details of life (which in a marriage of two intuitives don't always get shared) and thought about the future a little, too. Dinner was delicious -- we ate at a "rustic Italian" restaurant called Anteprima in Andersonville, and the cocktails and food were amazing.
- The Brown Elephant resale shop in Andersonville is my go-to place for pants. I almost always find a pair when I go in, and yesterday I got 2 pairs for $10. It's cheap, and it's also ethical, which makes me happy.
