unexpected beauty 365.160

this is the new tile that they are putting up at the T-station at kenmore square station. I didn't take a picture of the whole wall because somewhere along the line i remember "they" saying that you are supposed to take pictures of the t for "security" reasons. anyway the tiling is beautiful and if you get a chance get off at kenmore and observe the beauty.

where is he? 365.152


as my 8 loyal readers know, jackson loves "helping" with household chores. today he helped us fold a comforter in anticipation of a friend coming to visit. but all of a sudden we couldn't find him!

Edited to add the following:
this is yankel, yankel was a guilt gift from will for jackson on his way home from israel this past august. (pictured when jackson received him) yankel rapidly became jackson's favorite toy. hardly a day goes that doesn't involve yankel play time






this is yankel (picture on the right) today. no tie, no nose, no eyes, barely the remnants of a mouth, plus an eye-patch and lots of extra thread. jackson loves yankel, while i was performing my surgery this evening the dog was beside himself with worry that yankel may not make it. lucky for jackson (and yankel) i'm a great surgeon.

exhausted 365.151

because i needed to start studying for my two midterms next week, i decided i should get the dog good and tired so he will behave while i work. i did manage to get him tired, (2 hours at the park) the rub of course being that i was also tired. he was so tired that he didn't even mind my feet in his space, he just rested his head on them and went back to his nap

multi-tasking and my precious 365.150

talking to my bestie on the phone and eating jelly beans are a great way to spend an evening. i heart costco and especially the coupons that come in the mail that make me feel less guilty about buying 4 pounds of jelly belly jelly beans

engagement party 365.149

this afternoon we went to a brunch in honor of my husband cousin. my mother-in-law, will's cousin and her mother were all posing for a picture and in my head i though what a gorgeous group of women. i have already wished them much mazel, but a little more can't hurt! mazel tov!

brother in law 365.148

what my head feels like 365.147

after the aforementioned finance project due yesterday and midterm today my head feels squishy. after class i had a great time out with the ladies at Cornwall's its so nice having energy enough to go out. i have much to look forward to this week, brother-in-law visiting, no classes this week and a visit from a good friend from NY yay!

the "huge" hill home 365.146


so being pregnant is weird the hill home from the T is a mole hill, a small incline however after a long day at school and a long night ahead (a finance project due at midnight and a midterm tomorrow) and a shift in my center of gravity and added weight on my hips makes a mountain of this molehill

this is what giving up looks like 365.145


there are many things i know how to do. arguably i know more than the average person however, using excel to forecast financial statements. bah! i argue that in b-school you should learn who to ask these important questions and let them take the heat for when its wrong.

pulling my hair out 365.144


what you see: me pulling my hair out. what you don't see: excel spreadsheets mocking my every decision regarding the "financial statement forecast" i have to do for school. what you see: fun comic book effect from photo booth. what you don't see: me smiling at the only entertaining thing i have done with my computer since i started this stupid project.

one of my favorite things 365.143


is a freshly made bed, it doesn't need to look pretty it just needs to be clean and fresh. to make even better in fact, the ultimate, you shower before getting in bed and crawl in naked while your body is still steamy from the shower. pure joy.

on our way to tampa 365.140


as we left boston it was snowing and sleeting, our plane had to get de-iced. as we rose above the cloud cover it was beautiful a sea of clouds that seemed peaceful from this vantage point. the weekend will be full of family and fun and warm weather. i am already wearing my flip-flops!

evil rain creator 365.138


i am sure that jackson thinks we create the rain (which is evil in his opinion) to torment him. he is always more sad on the days when he can't play with his pals in the park because of the evil rain that will and i create. despite this he still manages to get excited when we get home after a long day, so much so that he will even sit up and allow us to rub his belly, ears etc..

fighting for space 365.136


today both jackson and i have superbowl hangover belly. as a result we both want to be on the couch and be pathetic. he started off in a curled ball at the edge of the couch and he is now taking over all of one cushion and a quarter of the other. lucky for me he stretches lengthwise and not width so there is room my legs next to him.

new things 365.135

today was a day of firsts my father-in-law used a lap-top for the first time. it was great fun to witness this event, especially since i have hot corners enabled which meant that at times the whole screen did things he wasn't expecting, for those of you who know him or are related to him you understand the import of this. second.. i attempted to bake something to new whilst my in-laws and husband were watching the superbowl i made black and white cookies as of posting they hadn't been tasted but they smelled great baking and if i do say so myself they look tasty.

backlit 365.134

so today will put together and placed our brand new composter and my intention was to take a picture of it to share, however. . . i forgot so instead i messed with the lighting and my macbook's isight to get a fun back lit picture. you can't tell but i am sticking my tongue out.

husband and bestie chatting it up 365.133

while i went to empty my bladder (again!!) will and cara started chatting. i think they were talking about the bowl haircut. i have taken other pictures today, but suffice it to say, i can feel confident when i say that my loyal 6 readers don't want to see a picture of me with tissues stuffed up my nose or me getting overwhelmed by certain body parts.

have a good night
