{There Are No Words...}

This?

This was my Valentine's Day surprise.

Please note: I despise hearts. Anything heart shaped makes me want to gag.

And we had a strict "no gift policy"

Oh! To top it off? My house was also decorated with approximately 9 heart shaped balloons.

It's a good thing he's cute or I would have to kill him.

In all honesty, though, it was in good fun. My dad was a really big jokester, so it made me laugh (and cry) to think about how much fun my dad would have had hearing that story. I'm pretty sure he high fived B from heaven that day.



I'm Lovin'...

Things I'm loving right now....

Hello amazingness, my name is Lori. Pleased to meet you.

These little lovelies? Perfection. In a bottle. #1, it's wine. #2, it's mini. #3, it's cheap. # 4, no more wasting a bottle of wine because I only want one glass.

I can thank Mrs. Steck for this amazingness, as she gifted me a set for being a part of her special day. She's the best for feeding my wine indulgences. (Love, Love, Love you, Jessica!)

Look at that face!

Currently, she's curled up on the couch with her head on my lap. Earlier? She wouldn't come in the house because the dryer was on. I had to carry her inside. She has a little PTSD from a dryer incident this summer involving Grandma Sue, Grandma Deb, and Great Grandma Joyce. Oi vey.

Kindle, I heart you.

My awesome parents gifted this to me for my birthday. Now I don't have to carry two books in my purse for fear of being without a book at all times. Not only does it feed my desire for reading, it's super cute too. I look like a tech-saavy nerd when I'm reading. Dorky glasses not required.

Things I love...

...my galoshes... mainly because when I take the pup out every morning, the grass is a little wet and I don't like for my pants to get wet.
...summer...
...cute kids who follow directions...
...adults who do their job...
...my pup-a-roonie... I mean, she's cute, what's not to love?

Valentine's Love...

While I may not have a Valentine over the age of 9 this year, I am quite popular amongst the "younger" sect.

And yes, that's me on the left. I asked to be sure. I think it looks a lot like me, don't you? Minus the whole not having feet, pants, or elbows.
