Throwback Thursday

It's time for another Throwback Thursday!!

 

Jarrod and me...July 2006

Blech...

So it is no secret that I am trying to get pregnant.  I visited a new doctor almost three weeks ago, and he has placed me on some different medications to try to kickstart my body into working correctly.  I finished round one of my meds and started round two yesterday.  I thought I had some kind of stomach virus Sunday night, but I'm starting to think that it might just be all the meds I'm on, coupled with the stress of all the upcoming stuff at work.  I feel better than I did, but I still don't feel 100% well.  I've had a bad headache every evening for the last three evenings, and I'm very moody.  Ugh...let's hope these meds work the first time and I don't have to take anymore.
In the long run...if all of this leads to a pregnancy, then it was totally worth it :)

Contain yourself

I have discovered a new favorite store...The Container Store! Today I decided to head to Atlanta and visit Ikea, since I haven't been since before Christmas. Afterward I headed to Buckhead and went to Lenox Mall. Oh how I wish I had a ton of money...I found so much stuff that I wanted! I did get new dishtowels at Williams-Sonoma and some Barefoot Contessa cupcake mix at Crate & Barrel...can't wait to try that out!
Then, I decided I wanted Carribou Coffee. Once there I discovered The Container Store right next door. I've heard of The Container Store but had never been to one. I've been missing out! I got two new trash cans for the bathrooms, and a small recycling container for the kitchen. I could have spent so much more...I found some really awesome stuff!

After a stop at Whole Foods for some groceries, I headed home to fix dinner for Jarrod and me. I look forward to enjoying the rest of my weekend...it always goes by so fast.

Throwback Thursday

I've decided to make Thursdays "throwback" days. I know other people that do something similar and I think it's cool. This is a picture of Jarrod and me on our first trip to Stone Mountain Park to watch the Laser Show. The date on this is April 2006, so this would have been very early in our dating. It's not a great pic of me...my skin looks awful! But...we were both so much thinner!

Fun Weekend!

I had a great weekend. First of all, it was great because I didn't have to work today, giving me a wonderful 3 day weekend! Friday after work I went to the outlet mall and scored a nice pair of pants from Ralph Lauren for $30...what a way to start a weekend! Then Jarrod and I went to dinner at Tokyo and had some yummy sushi in celebration of our 4 year dating anniversary. All was well until about 4am Saturday when Jarrod's sushi made a return appearance :( Fortunately, by noon he was feeling better.
Saturday evening we went to Kennesaw with our friends Stephen and Tracy. We had a great time at Joe's Crab Shack! Then we went to Borders and spent a lazy hour checking out all of the awesome books. I got a Campbell's Soup cookbook for $6! Afterward we headed back to Cartersville and had a few drinks at the Cigar Bar. I love going there but I hate the way I smell afterward! My hair reeked for the rest of the weekend!
Sunday Jarrod and I had a relaxing breakfast at Panera Bread (our favorite). Jarrod got a haircut, and then I headed to the movies with Tracy to see It's Complicated. I had already seen it, but it was just as good the second time. I would kill for Meryl Streep's house in that movie!
After a trip to Costco where I spent way too much money, Jarrod and I spent the rest of Sunday in front of the TV.
Monday morning came and Jarrod had to go to work...leaving me in bed for one more hour of sleep :) I grocery shopped, then spent the rest of the day cleaning the house and doing laundry. After a relaxing bath, I'm writing this blog and then headed to bed. It's back to work tomorrow...but thank you Lord for four day weeks!

Whole Foods!

I get excited about grocery shopping, which I know is a little weird. Most people loathe going to the grocery store, and my idea about it may change after I have kids...but right now I love it! I especially love it when I get to go to Whole Foods. It's the best store ever. I have to drive all the way to Marietta (over an hour away) but it is so worth it. I love looking at all of the different varieties of foods and buying organically, which is always better. So, I am excited about today's trip to Whole Foods!
Also on today's agenda...Target, Costco, and Macy's. Maybe Borders in there somewhere. Happy Sunday!

Snow Day 2010!

Today is a snow day! Jarrod and I are both home from work today and we had a chance to go out with the Harley dog to play in the snow. She isn't a huge fan of the snow, but Maggie the cat loves it! She keeps going outside and walking around in the back yard!
We braved the roads this morning to go to Cracker Barrel for a yummy breakfast. We were seated near the fireplace (which I love) and I think that inspired Jarrod to build our first fire in our fireplace at home. We are enjoying a lazy day at home with a fire in the fireplace and homemade vegetable soup in the Crock Pot :)
