Blizzard Watch

I got a box of presents yesterday for my birthday which of course I promptly opened. This lead to a quick morning mini-mani so I could test out the colors.

This got a lot of comments and compliments at work. And it brightened my, otherwise non-eventful, Friday. I wore my snow boots in preparation for the storm that didn’t really start to happen until after I got home from work.

In other news this week- I finally hired someone for my department. Yay!!! I’m really looking forward to when he starts (end of month.) Gavin got back massive amount of film from our trip to Costa Rica and other things.

Also, this may be actually last week’s news but, I finally filed the patent for my project. Feels good to finally get it out since it has been sitting on the desk for about 6 months. After reading the documents countless times over, I solidified my intentions on never ever becoming a lawyer. Fingers crossed that it goes through without any issue. (Now I can work on it in peace.)

Caught Red-Handed

Gavin and I have both talked about eating healthier. I started with a kale and Brussels sprout salad at lunch (which I picked up at a lunch spot that is conveniently located next to the library by my work.) Of course, I picked up some books too.

For our daily juice, Gavin decided to incorporate beets. He’s been inspired to try more fruits and veggies since out trip to Miss Lily’s with his mom a few weeks back.

I’m really happy about this because now when I have juice with Gavin it can
include more things aside from the usual (kale, celery, apples, lemon and the occasional carrot.)
