Eve


Happy New Year's Eve everyone!!
Matt and i have a super random tradition of going to a Chinese buffet on New Year's Eve and stuffing our faces until we're ready to pop so i'm definitely looking forward to that tonight!
and we'll see if Matt can actually stay awake until midnight so we can be cute and kiss.
every other night of the year Matt can stay up until 3:00 or 4:00 AM no problem but then on New Year's Eve he falls asleep at like 10:00 PM and can't be woken up by anything.
mystery.

EEEEEEEE!

so Matt sent me a text today and told me he was scrolling through his google reader when he saw something familiar and told me to check it out.
i go to nerdapproved.com (of course Matt reads that blog right?) and i'm scrolling scrolling and then i stop dead when i see MY Dr. Who christmas ornaments staring me in the face!!
well not really because you can't stare a weeping angel in the face and live to tell about it but...

this seriously made my whole day! my whole christmas! my whole boxing day! my whole next year and a half!

Cold Pup

our poor little pup has been cold this winter.
she wears a hoodie but apparently that's not enough to keep her cozy.
she's been refusing to get out of her bed in the morning and curls up in the tiniest ball when she's sleeping and even gets little shivers.
i felt so bad for her today that i did this.
CIMG0468
and she slept and enjoyed that little heater soooo much!
she's the biggest wimp ever but so dang cute!

S- S- Survey

a survey for you!
mostly because i have a hard time seeing a survey and not doing it.
i blame myspace for that. oh the good old days.
but also so everyone can get to know me better.
because i know you desperately want to.

what's a nickname only your family calls you?
"Nini" the nephews had a hard time saying the Ks in my name so i became Nini and it just kinda stuck. i even catch Matt calling me that sometimes.

what's a weird habit of yours?
when i see something in a store i like or think is cute i make funny sounds while i play with it. Matt LOVES to make fun of me for it.

what's a song you secretly love to blast and belt out when you're alone?
i don't have a specific one but when i'm in the car by myself and feel like belting something it's usually Michael Jackson i turn to. or maybe one from my jr high/high school days.

1. what's one of your biggest pet peeves?
people that i don't know calling and not leaving a message. when i'm screening my calls and don't know who you are the polite thing to do would be to leave a message so i'm not wondering who you are. am i right??

2. what's one of your nervous habits?
talking fast. or getting bright red. or crying. i seriously have the worst nervous habits. 

3. what side of the bed do you sleep on?
the right

4. what was your first stuffed animal and its name?
it was a little pink teddy bear named "pinky". i was very VERY upset when my parents threw it away. poor pinky.

5. what's the drink you always order at starbucks?
caramel apple spice mmmmm! we actually never go to starbucks now even for that because at the beginning of winter we just go and buy their cinnamon dolce syrup and make our own at home. greatest idea we've ever had! 

6. what's the beauty rule you preach but never actually practice?
love the way you look. love the way you are. love everything about you. and all that good stuff.

7. which way do you face in the shower?
away from the water mostly

8. do you have any "weird" body "skills"?
uh...my arms bend a weird way when i straighten them. it grosses Matt out.

9. what's your favorite comfort food/food that's bad but you love to eat it anyway?
ice cream. makes me sick but i still love it. if i had to pick a food that didn't make me sick it would be popcorn!

10. what's a phrase or exclamation you always say?
"no way jose!" and "ALL THE THINGS"

11. time to sleep - what are you wearing?
jammie jam pants and a t-shirt.

Work From Home

you know you work from home when "getting dressed" only means you put on a nicer pair of sweatpants and a shirt you didn't sleep in the night before.
