*So, I am aware that my site keeps crashing/not loading.  I’m working with my site host, but they think it’s more on WordPress’s side….soooo…I’m frustrated, too.  I apologize for any issues you may be having accessing anything right now.

*Most of our wedding invitations went out this week!  That’s super exciting; I can’t believe we’re at 70 days.  A little anxiety is starting to kick in; hopefully we don’t have any huge hiccups anywhere.

*Mother Nature is annoying me.  Apparently we’re just skipping spring and going back and forth between winter and summer.  It’s been 80 degrees for the past two days and today it’s 45 and rainy.  I don’t understand or like this weather.  I typically like Maryland because we actually have all four seasons when they are supposed to happen.  If I wanted to live somewhere with two seasons I’d move either far north or far south.

*I have a dentist appointment this week and I hate the dentist so much.  Part of me is like, I should reschedule…but….ain’t nobody got time fo’ dat.  So, I’ll go…and be annoyed by it.

*I got our house obscenely clean over spring break, so now I’m kind of obsessed with keeping it that way.  Luckily, Devon is good at helping with that (it’s probably more just so I don’t yell at him for being messy).  I’ve noticed he has a tendency to take his cues from me when it comes to maintaining the house.  When I’m being lazy about it; he does the same.  When I’m being obsessive over it; he’s usually a lot better, too.  It’s not exactly helpful most of the time, but currently I’m appreciative of it.

*I’m out in the living room working on this and some work and Devon is in the office working and he just came out, randomly gave me a kiss, and went back in the office.  I asked him what that was for; he’s like “meh, just felt like it”.  It was cute.  He’s not that cute that often….I wonder what horrible thing he did……(I’m only semi-joking).

Hope everyone is having a great weekend! 

*This weekend has been so insanely busy AND I have to go back to work tomorrow.  The real kicker? It’s actually supposed to feel like spring the next few days.  Unlike my actual spring break that felt like winters cousin.  It does this every year in Maryland, so I’m not surprised, but it’d be nice if the weather cooperated for once one year.

*Our wedding invitations are just about ready to go out!  I just need a few more addresses from…ya know…Devon…which isn’t likely to happen anytime soon.  I’ll wind up kicking him (not literally) until he gets it done.

*Amazon and I are currently fighting because they claimed a delivery was attempted today and…..we were home when they claimed this.  When I talked to customer service, they claimed they just couldn’t find our address.  So, basically, I’m like….tf, tho? Not okay. So, we’re fighting until they manage to find my address and handle this.

*We had our cat-sitter over yesterday.  She’s a former student of mine who adores cats and volunteered to watch Maya while Devon and I are away on our honeymoon.  Maya adored her; she wouldn’t stop sitting on her lap.  Maya will still hate every minute of the drive to her house and getting to her house, but at least she will like Nina (the girl watching her), so I won’t have to worry about her while we are gone.

*I’m kinda not ready for this whole back to work thing tomorrow.  I mean, I kinda am, but there’s this whole waking up early and having to be productive all day part that I’m not really all about yet.  But we only have about 6-7 weeks of school left at this point, which is making it a bit easier on me to think about.  Of course it also means that there’s not a lot of time until the wedding either, which then makes me freak out again…so…..yeah….

Okay, back to my to-do list.  Hope everyone’s had a great weekend!

*One of my bridesmaids is pregnant!!!  She finally told everyone today; she told me….almost a month ago and asked me to not say anything, which has been LITERALLY KILLING ME! Michelle is going to be the best Mom on the planet and I am so excited for her; I can’t wait for her to be a Mommy.  When she told me, she’s like, “so there’s gonna be two of us at the altar with you….”

I’m so excited. I can’t wait to see her and her little baby bump.

*My cat is currently propping up my phone.  She decided she had to sit next to me while I’m here on the couch; mainly sit in front of my phone while I was trying to watch Instastories (I know it’s riveting viewing choices here), so I propped my phone up on her and she doesn’t seem to mind.  Or at least she probably doesn’t mind…maybe…she’s not growling at me, so there’s that.

*I realized after I finished that bullet point that my hair had been up drying in the towel for almost an hour, so I took a break to go dry it.  My hair never needs to be up in a towel that long…no one’s hair does, really.  I also probably didn’t really need to tell you that because it’s not like you see me while I’m doing this. But, I said it, so there ya go!

*I’m on spring break now, which is probably why I’m a bit more random than normal.  I don’t have 10,000 things on my mind (just 9.000); so there is room for random.  Be prepared for the next week.

*I have a lot of stuff going on this week; a lot of stuff for the wedding, a lot of spring cleaning, a lot of stuff outside of the house that I never seem to get done any other time. A lot of you seem to enjoy my random storying on Instagram; there is almost never any rhyme or reason to my Instastories; they just…exist and apparently most of you find them hilarious. So, maybe since I’m not at work this week (and not around all kinds of confidential stuff that I can’t share) I’ll be on Instastories more and share the randomness that is my life.  We’ll see…I don’t always remember to be publicly random, so we’ll see….

Okay, I’m going to get started to on what I need to get done today; hope everyone is having a great holiday weekend! 

*My unintentional blogging break of last week was unintentional.  I’ve been really good at having my content ready ahead of schedule, but last week was just a crazy week and it didn’t happen.  So, we shall try again this week.

*It’s Spring break this week….well….starting on Thursday anyway.  I’m so excited.  It’d be nice if it actually feels like spring for it.  We had our random 6 inches of snow this past Tues/Weds, but all the snow is already gone because it immediately went back up to the 50’s right after the snow passed.  I’m kind of ready for spring now, so we can leave the snow alone.

*We did hit three months to the wedding yesterday!  I can’t handle it.  It’s getting so real. Our 3 month update will be up this week so you can see all of the things that are happening!

*We celebrated three months to the wedding by going to my school’s super fancy gala last night.  It was actually a lot of fun.  I had a dress on.  I’m really kind of over the dress wearing in my life this year; I’ve put on TWO in FOUR months.  That’s a lot.  I’m gonna need a break for a few years.  Except there is my wedding……sooo….but after that….no more for five years. #pantsarelife

*This week is going to be another insanely busy week.  I’m kind of getting used to them at this point, I think.  However, I will be nice when we can settle into a quiet/boring existence again.

With that, I’m going to tackle my super long to do list for today.  Have a great rest of the weekend!

*We’ve spent most of the weekend just trying to recuperate and get healthy again.  Devon and I were both definitely sick the past week and I think mine was working on me for the week prior.  So the weekend has been spent cleaning/lysoling the house, resting/napping and having homemade chicken soup last night for dinner.  I take no credit for the soup, it was a recipe I found from Natasha’s Kitchen and it was delicious! We added a bit more spice because….us and more chicken because again….us.  But it was so good.  I love the dill in it, it added a nice freshness; even Devon liked it.  Plus it was nice and thick, which is a Devon requirement for homemade chicken noodle soup.  (And yes, I did a gluten free version for me…sigh.)

*Spring break is so close yet so far away and I’m not a fan.  This past week was our school’s last full week of school before spring break, so that will make the next two weeks easier.  We have off this coming Friday for “venture day” which is our school’s way of getting faculty to other schools to see what they are doing and what techniques we can implement with our students.  It’s a great idea; I like it.  Plus I have a ton of educator friends, so it’s essentially me going to work with a friend.
