Hi remember me? Oh yeah. I’m still alive. Still slowly trudging my way through tax season. The tax season during which I’ve had to miss three baby showers (including one tomorrow that I am slowly accepting the fact that I will not be able to make it to) and another family get together next weekend. Yeah taxes, you can suck it. (Though I have to say the obligatory, at least I have work during the recession, blah-gity blah blah).
However I have had some pretty cool stuff happen in between working hours. I got to go to Dooce’s book signing where I was accompanied by Sarah, her friend (okay shoot, I’m going to start calling you my friend since we’ve met a whole two times okay?) Elizabeth, and her sister-in-law. It was awesome to see Dooce in person and I was star-struck. During the book signing I told her that her ring was pretty and she said she got it at Banana Republic. So yeah… we’re BFF. Already sharing style tips.

I’m on about page 50, and it’s just as good as I thought it’d be.. and some. You know what I’ll be doing all weekend… when I’m not working.
I even have a picture with her that Sarah was kind enough to take for me! So once I get that, you know I’ll be posting it.. my proof that I MET DOOCE!
Moving on… I finally took pictures of our new bedding and our updated bathroom. Before the bathroom was the typical porcelain blue and tan with an occasional seashell. You know, because when you get out the shower you really need to feel like you’re at the beach. Well, okay so I got over that, and hit up Pottery Barn for a new organic shower curtain and some new rugs to replace our beaten and battered old ones. It’s astonishing to me how hard we are on our linens. Our bedding was a disaster as well, and we’d gotten all these things new after the wedding. Less than two years ago. But now I’m in love with our new stuff, and hopefully we (and when I say we I mean the cat and the dogs) don’t destroy these quite as quickly.

The updated bathroom. I love that now it can be more eclectic and I can just add little things that I love in there. Plus the bright colors in the shower curtain and the yellow rugs just make me happy. And yes our bathroom really is that small, and yes it makes me want to kill someone sometimes. It’s our tradeoff for the huge backyard.
Neo likes the new bedding too. And he loves the fact that the dogs are no longer allowed on the bed, so he gets it all to himself. Except now with the brown sheets and his white hair, we are now trying to enforce a no animals at all policy. Cats though are just a little bit harder to teach “No” too.
This is my little attempt to cheer myself up and convince myself that my life isn’t all about work right now. I have balance…. right? You all could help by stopping your lives too. Make me feel less like I’m missing out on everything. Juuuuust kidding. Oh well, April 15th is just around the corner and pretty soon I’ll be back to a normal routine of eating dinner at a normal time, actually making it to the gym, and may possibly then I’ll finally be able to get through my blog reader.
What is the most exciting thing that’s happened to you this past week?
EDIT: Picture of me and Dooce is up at stephcorwin.com Eeeee!!
