in the last two minutes 365.132

i have used more tissues than i normally use in one day, because i am kind i am just showing off the crumpled up ending part of the tissue instead of the inside goopy bits. loyal readers i care about you and sometimes i think about what you would like to see.

anyway i have a cold. its annoying, even more annoying i can't have nyquil, my preferred method of sleeping whilst a cold settles into my body

the first item that someone wants baked 365.131

my husband has a sweet tooth, this man would elbow (old) people (in line at kiddush) to get a piece of sheet cake with icing. today i got the march/april issue of cooks illustrated (which is a happy b/c i heart getting this magazine in the mail!) without turning too many pages i can already tell which recipes he will be most interested in me baking, "Fluffy Yellow Layer Cake" with "Foolproof Chocolate Frosting"

destination genius 365.130

tonight will and i went to destination maternity. in the middle of the store they have comfy chairs in front of a teevee with a coffee table covered in sports magazines and a few pregnancy mags thrown in for good measure (stupidly i forgot to replace the memory card in my camera this morning so i couldn't take a picture) so you get will holding the bag.

dog toys 365.129

we spend our (read will's) hard-earned cash on things like this and this, when really we could get a pack of twenty hair things for 2.49 and our dog would the happiest ever. of course it might be better if his momma weren't cruel by putting it on his front arm causing it to bounce up and down as he "kills" the elastic.

watching the teevee 365.128

i finished my school-work and as a reward i get to watch the sopranos. good times. (also it should be noted that will and i share the couch with jackson, who is annoyed that we have the gall to invade his space)

16 weeks 365.127

this is what 16 weeks pregnant looks like on me.

bedtime reading? 126.365

which book do you think i snuggled up with for some good bedtime reading?

home 365.125

he's home!! after an overnight visit at Angell Memorial, jackson came home at around 5:30. he received great care and we are told that we have to monitor him closely and go for a follow up visit to our regular vet on monday. he came home had tons of energy for about 40 minutes and is now sleeping soundly. (considering that he most likely spent most of the night & day scared and crying sleeping is just what we were expecting)

not here 365.124

tonight we came home from visiting friends to discover that Jackson had eaten most of a pack of sugar free gum. i am pretty sure that the gum contained xylitol which is a toxin for dogs. so after making him vomit, we rushed him over to Angel memorial, where he is now. He spent the night there to make sure that he doesn't have liver poisoning and to keep his blood sugar and pressure up. it was a stressful evening. we are hopeful that things went well because we haven't heard from the vet. (no news is good news she told us) we get to bring him home after work on thursday. updates to follow

mah jongg (& an overdue intro) 365.123

i was way overwhelmed with finals and being pregnant to correctly introduce EET to my loyal readers... so here she is. she is not with her mother in this picture. instead she is with aj-m. also we played mah jongg. i did not win.

best lunch 365.122

today will was the main course at lunch. lev was munching down while the rest of us enjoyed chinese food.

Mazel tov! 365.121

as previously mentioned we are in NY... for a wedding.. MAZEL TOV Amy & Jon. the wedding was great fun and red sox nation was in full force!

honeymoon memories 365.120

we are in NY for a wedding we are staying at home of our friends the Fish's, while we were honeymooning in Argentina (almost a year ago!!) we spotted this fantastic mobile at an artists fair, clearly perfect for friends who have the last name Fish. Anyway seeing the mobile again made me smile.

inaugaration 365.119

my good friends celebrated the bris of their son today. welcome to the world zev!

ps. i will be in NY for the weekend internet access will be questionable. please don't dismay. i will post when i get back i hope thats ok aj-m

deliberate blur 365.118

deliberate blur
coming home from school i was struck at the beauty in my daily commute.

though not a great picture i still like it.

remembering stuff from last semester is hard 365.117

how is that a scant month ago i remembered how to do all sorts of stuff having to do with business school and tonight i can't remember a damn thing?

morning commute + snow 365.116

so i took this picture while waiting for the T. (it make look familiar as i took a similar picture earlier in this journey). i was trying to capture all the beautiful trees lightly covered in snow juxtaposed with the ugliness of the t-station. i also messed around with the filters in i-photo to try to convey how bright the snow made everything.. almost washed out. enjoy.

miracle road 365.115

the snow looks lovely on our street but the real miracle is that you can see our street. the plow truck came through and *gasp* actually plowed. perhaps tomorrow our street will not be a sheet of ice. also i should be doing my finance homework instead i am posting.

lip-smackin 365.114

today jackson and i spent most of the day together. he was sitting rather awkwardly when i decided to snap this pic. i mean look at his hind legs it seems as if he is about to tip over they are so close together. hoping for a snow day tomorrow!

saturday night 365.113

while i know there is a play-off game for the football team in this fine city, my evening entertainment comes from my dog. i am still playing around with the new improved photo-booth (yay leopard) on my macbook and i discovered this setting where it takes pictures in rapid succession. nifty huh? anyway playing tug with jackson is pretty much the highlight of my evening. hope other people are having as much fun as i am

yay friends! 365.112

i *love* it when my friends come to visit, especially when its short notice (its like a surprise.. and those of you that know me, know its hard to surprise me) and I get to enjoy them being here versus the anticipation of them coming. anyway my good friend jonathan is in town (from a far off and arguably holy land) and we get the distinct pleasure of having the house where he hangs his hat.

in short yay friends!

paying attention 365.111

during class today (i know bad student) but we can feel the end of the class coming... yet its far way so... we were all a little punchy, clearly the macbook's isight needed to be on . at least we got a little giggle.

couch nap 365.110

this week i have class from 9-4 everyday. up side i have 3 more credits at the end of week when i am done with class. down side this is me every night from when i get home until i crawl into bed

quasi introdcution 365.109

welcome to the reason i have been so damn tired. I am due July 13th and we are not finding out if its a boy or a girl. we are personally hoping for the third not oft discussed option of a chicken. anyway we have three fetus names take your choice most of you know our favorite, shit-face, super-fetus and schmoopy.

politely covering my mouth 365.108

i was so not ready for a full day of school today. while i know this picture was taken at home. it could've easily been taken any of the 100+ times i yawned *during* class today.

dirty looks 365.107

i am not looking forward to school starting again tomorrow. dirty looks ensue.

cold shoulder over 365.106

i woke up early this morning and when i went in to check on my dog and husband I came across this scene. clearly jackson has gotten over his anger at will and i for going away.

i'm crushing your head 365.105

today when will came home from work we snacked and each took 3 hour naps. what is wrong with us? anyway this picture was inspired by pictures the bestie took with photo booth.

where is the love? 365.104

so when i get home.. i get a mild reception, will gets similar followed by cold shoulder treatment. I realize our dog was unhappy that we left him.. but still... then today eli stops by today to drop off the car and leave for michigan, Jackson gets up greets him wags his tail so hard it seems his ass will fall off.. then jumps up on the couch for good old fashioned belly rubbing.

ORD 365.103

before you know that you are going to be stuck at (the apparently unheated) O'Hare international airport for the several hours, one may get giddy at the prospect of traveling through the united terminal underpass. . . despite the fact that its 5:30 am. i'm just saying its an option.. being giddy thats all.

new year besties 365.102

one is showered one is clean, one is leaving one is staying. one took the picture one was too lazy.

fun trip is the SF. now to home and the weather..
