Charlottesville Day Trip

I took a quick trip up to Charlottesville on Tuesday to get started on my new/old job. I'm working for UVa again (WAHOOWA!!! SO HAPPY!!) doing communications/PR/social media from home. I've never been so excited about a job, it's perfect.

I was so happy to see my friends at work, walk on Grounds, and drive the Thomas Jefferson Parkway. There were nearly tears at Darden. And I accidentally (really, I forgot Garth connects to Barracks) drove past where we, the Moons, the Millers, and the Teuschers used to live... and I missed the 70s wallpaper and the crappy kitchens more than you'd think.

Wrightsville Beach

Today we went to the beach. Because we wanted to.

Crazy that we live that close.

P.S. the Atlantic is salty.

Fighting dragons. From the future.

This happened.

Todd's co-workers did an outing in Raleigh and went on a Segway tour. 

I go crazy every time I see these tour groups gliding around. Nerdy to the max, LOVE.

#StayAtHomeWife

I stress when people trash recyclable stuff. IS IT SO HARD TO SORT?!

A bag of Tim's Chips last me 1.5 days, average.

The Relief Society presidency came to visit. I asked them what to do around here and they suggested the mall.


Toddlers and Tiaras. No words.


Things I have seen on our stairwell this week: a leaf bug, a marker, and a Halloween sock.

Accidentally doubled the salt for cookies. Still ate every last delicious one.

Someone tell the fashion bloggers that braided bangs have looked good on no one ever.

Meal planning is the worst chore.

I am opposite of most people: I was feeling a bit depressed, then it started raining. All better.

These commercials where the security company comes over the intercom with INTRUDER, LEAVE THE PREMISES NOW! are hilarious.

Sprayed the spiders outside the door with Windex to kill them. Hope they don't mutate and come after me.

Jif Natural peanut butter is legitimately better than regular.

So many beautiful girls are ruined by their Utah tadpole eyebrows. I want to help them.

North Carolina drivers swerve and weave and drive on the grass. Also need to learns about blinkers.
