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.

Two Parks

This weekend, my opinion of Raleigh improved by about 50% thanks to the discovery of two awesome parks.

1. Umstead Park

This pretty park is between downtown and the airport. We found all sorts of mushrooms--not kidding, these ones were highlighter orange. There are trees and lakes and bunches of walking and hiking paths. I think we'll be going there a lot, especially in the Fall!

2. RDU Observation Park

The Raleigh-Durham airport has a designated area for planespotting. Free parking, a covered observation tower, plane diagrams, air traffic control over the loudspeakers and WAIT THERE'S MORE: a miniature play runway. Some people die of cute from baby animal pictures, some from backyard-sized runways.
