What i’ve been up to.
February 17th, 2010 at 8:36 pm. Posted in Just Rachel.- Cooking. A lot. For a few months, I didn’t really cook because it was just me. It was easier to exist on grilled cheese, salad and spagetti-os. But, my poor Rachael Ray pots were neglected, so this past week i’ve been cooking my face off and taking all of the food to my family’s place so they could enjoy it. Tonight, I baked chocolate crackel cookies for my dad’s birthday tomorrow.
- Thawing out from freaking Snomageddon 2010. The last blizzard that dumped this much snow on us was in 1996. Then, it was fun. This time? Wait, no. It was still fun. Matt’s cousins came to the house to get snowed in with me. We made awesome food, watched every episode of the Biggest Loser and took casual strolls in the snow.
Us deciding we were going to leave the house. I had ZERO snow clothes, so I just layered and put plastic bags on my feet over my sock with my Uggs and I was attempting to make Matt’s snowboard gloves work for me, but um. I’m half his size and it was pretty comical.
Early morning on day one. The snow was already up to my knees. Check out the plastic bags i’m rocking. Be jealous.
- Buying a new vibrator. I know, right? This is so not that kind of blog, but I feel like I should note this. It’s a LELO brand one, not cheap. Listen. I’ve still got almost FOUR MONTHS left of being alone. I seriously thought i’d be fine. I’m not. Problem (sort of) solved.
- Not shaving my legs. Seriously. I mean, who’s going to see it? ITS FEBRUARY. Once every two-ish weeks when I can’t take it anymore. It’s good times.
- Design stuff. Really. I’ve made Katelin’s save the dates, my own invitations, opened up an etsy shop (i know, the invite mock up has October twice) and I have massive amounts of awesome stuff in the works hopefully. I wish I had gone to school for this… the only time i’ve really enjoy what I do so much is when I am taking pictures. The combination of the two makes me wildly happy.
- Spending lots of time at the gym. Operation six pack is in full swing. It hurts. I run a lot. I’ve never done more crunches and these weird bendy backwards ab work out things in my life. My arms feel like jell-o a few days a week. I sweat and it’s gross.
- Missing my love. It’s gotten different in a way. It’s more of this dull ache as opposed to this stabbing effing pain that I just can’t shake. I cry less.
- Shopping. Oh my lord, shopping. I get lonely and bored… so I go spend money. Mostly on house stuff and wedding stuff. I’m seriously coveting this dress from Carol Hannah.
Knee length, I think. The more that I stare at it, the more I love the pink color, but I was thinking of maybe turquoise or yellow and wearing it for my rehearsal dinner. It’s a little expensive, but I would totally wear it again. I’d wear it all the time.
- Handing over the Love Story Project to The Blondes. It’s my baby, and I still have high hopes for it… but I just don’t have the time to devote that it needs to really be great. The stories that were submitted weren’t getting posted as fast as I’d like, so I knew it was time to ask for help. Expect great things.
A vibrator is a girls best friend in this sort of situation; and definitely a much better solution to such a problem. ;)
That dress is gorgeous! I could definitely see it in turquoise or yellow!
And as soon as I get this medication in check…I’m so going to start working out again. I’m not however looking forward to the first week back at it.
