week eleven

Headed down to VA and WV for a long weekend to visit the fam, get my bridesmaid dress altered, and go to Jaime's bridal shower. Of course, my camera batteries crapped out right before the shower, so I didn't get any pics there. *sigh* So all I have is a couple random shots of the dress fitting and a purty fleur outside the Oakton post office. Enjoy!

week ten

A most unusual week.

1. We have reached an agreement to buy the previously mentioned condo! Contracts pending. But very exciting all the same.

2. I fainted. Late Saturday night, I fell asleep on the couch watching tv. Sean woke me up so we could go to bed. We headed to the kitchen first to put away the dinner leftovers and the dishes. I was putting the leftovers into a container when I started to feel not-very-well. I told Sean, "I don't feel so well." He was washing dishes next to me. Then I guess I said, "I think I'm going to pass out." And then I did. Went completely out, fell flat on my back on the kitchen floor and banged my head pretty good. I was only out for a second but it scared the crap out of both of us. I guess the transition from sleeping on the couch to putting away leftovers was just too much for my poor lil brain. Felt ok the next morning except for a stiff neck. Whiplash, maybe?

3. I just can't get on board with daylight saving time beginning in MARCH. When we had like 9 inches of snow a week ago. It's just not right.

4. Zoe got a bath and nail trim. See pictorial essay below, featuring the lovely purple bow she received.

5. I am off to VA/WV for the weekend for Jaime's bridal shower!

week nine

Not much to report this week. Had dinner out with friends on Friday, then Saturday Sean and I went to Lowe's to scope out appliances for our possible future kitchen renovation. Sunday night it started snowing...

and snowing...

and kept snowing through a good part of Monday. Our biggest snowfall of the season. This seems to happen pretty frequently -- a big late winter storm, right around Presidents' Day or early March.

So for the most part, we've been laying low.
