Yesterday morning I woke up before the sunrise to go downtown for a CT scan and for an appointment with a gastroenterologist [more on that another day]- I owe a big schpank you to my Dear for waking up at 5AM to go with me… BTW: the barium contrast that you’re required to drink for CT scans is NOT pleasant- you have a choice of a chalky, white paste that looks like Elmer’s glue OR a clear liquid that tastes like moldy, stale water… Which one would you choose?!
Thankfully, the afternoon was filled with many things that made me happy 🙂
Happy #1: A mani/ pedi date with my momma…
sparkly red on my fingers for Christmas
and sparkly black on my toes for New Year’s [chubby + long toes = beat feet]
Happy #2: A Teet lunch date with my Dear…
they have the best salad bar and baguettes in town [as displayed, courtesy of my Dear]!
Happy #3: Shopping…
the mall is always so beautiful during the holiday’s [minus all last-minute mayhem]
Happy #4: Seeing Mission Impossible…
i’ll sit for 2+ hours to watch good-looking men climb buildings, crash cars, and chase after “bad” guys
Happy #5: Watching Modern Family with dinner [it was hilarious]!
And the happiness has continued through to today- there’s something about the holiday season…
Happy #6: Saving $35 at the grocery store and having a kitchen full of food…
i love shopping sales [buy one, get one free Fresca or ice cream? oh yeah, i’m sold]
Happy #7: Blackberries…
i thought blackberries were a summer fruit? regardless, these were BERRY good [baha]
Happy #8: Another Teet lunch…
same meal, different setting
Happy #9: Watching YouTube videos of Christmas light shows…
girl look at that [house], i [light up], girl look at that [house], i [light up]!
Happy #10: We’re having burrito night- it’s far from the traditional Christmas Eve dinner, but it’s fun!
P.S. 1 DAY TILL CHRISTMAS [AKA IT’S CHRISTMAS EVE]!!!
Question: Do you watch Modern Family? What’s your fave season?
Question: What’s your traditional Christmas Eve dinner?
Life's a Bowl

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
Girl, you gotta treat yourself to a mani/ pedi- ultimate relaxation [and festive for the holidays]! Sounds like we should totes hit up the stores- two sale shoppers could be dangerous ;P
I hope that your CT scan doesn’t show anything bad! I had one when I was younger, and it was not pleasant for sure. I’m glad you had a ton of awesome things going on to make the rest of your Christmas Eve better. Merry Christmas!
Yeah, barium contrast def isn’t my preferred holiday drink [haha]… Thanks, hope you have a happy holiday too 🙂
WAIT this is so creepy. .. that’s Tyson’s… and that’s the Harris Teeter right by Tysons/in Vienna – we totes live in the same location haha . .. now I’m kind of wondering what middle school you teach at..
Yuppp, that’s Tysons!
