Sunday

is the best day of the week.

Even during football season, this day of the week is still my favorite. I was so excited to wake up this morning, start our laundry, grab a coffee, run some errands, make some fresh guacamole and throw a beef stew in the crock pot. I even had a chance to catch up on some work junk. All the while my soundtrack being NFL red zone, of course. Today must have really been my lucky day(meaning the midday game would have no bearing on his fantasy football scores) because Jim took a break from watching the games and took me to a movie (Drive). Go see it. Now I get to spend the rest of the evening laying on the couch with my boys.

birchbox arrival #2

I'm going to be honest. This birchbox was a let down.

Incoco - Nail Polish Applique
Jouer - Lip Enhancer
Jurlique - Moisturizing Hand Sanitizer
Liv Grn - Natural Eau de Parfum
Birchbox Friendship Bracelet

The only exciting product for me in this box was the lip enhancer, because I've really been wanting/needing a product that hydrates and conditions my lips. If you wear lipstick it's so important that the lips be smooth and soft before application. I'm not thrilled at how oily it feels but I'm willing to apply it once or twice a day to check for results. The Nail Polish Applique could potentially be awesome had I not received the purple animal print (not my style). If the application is simple and looks clean I'll consider checking the website out. The parfum actually smells decent, but would not be a scent I would care to commit to. The hand sanitizer smells way to herbal. I do not like it. The friendship bracelet is stupid. Who would wear a cheap silver square attached to a pink string? This was seriously disappointing.

I'm really crossing my fingers for next month. Especially considering I talked one of my co-workers into signing up for the birchbox and this was the first box she received.

I've decided to try twitter out again.

I can't complain

about my life.

Jim has cooked me dinner almost every night this week. Tacos with spanish rice. Spaghetti. Spicy grilled chicken. Last night he made a beef stir fry with a made from scratch teriyaki sauce that was delicious. We bottled it up so we'd have some on hand for next time. He's quite domestic and a great cook. I'm very lucky.

In reality I believe he had an ulterior motive. Football season has started which means I pretty much won't have a boyfriend for the next few months. In this past week I've been witness to him watching a game on tv and streaming a different game on his laptop. And that's not even the worst part. When we get in bed he listens to a sports podcast with headphones until he falls asleep.

No wonder he's cooking me dinner.
But that's okay because I've decided to make the most of it. I've been looking for lots of fun recipes for the perfect football snacks. So maybe it's a win win situation.
