is it so wrong...?

have i mentioned yet that i am a night owl? and that billy is, well, not.... :) unless it is of course a weekend and then we are both late nighters...but, this has well, proven to be a bit of a problemo... cause bb has a very strict schedule to stick to...in bed, lights out no later then 10 MAYBE 1030...or he gets a bit, well, grumpy...shhh....he wakes himself up at 6am to get started on his morning reading before he starts working...can we say discipline? um ya....my schedule consists of avoiding any kind of schedule....and so monday through friday around 10pm we find ourselves here....

bb: babe, are you ready to read scriptures...
me: um...(quick think of a subject change)...hunny what do you want to do tomorrow night...
bb: oh i don't know, i know i want to go to bed tonight though
me: (shoot he caught on) ok well we should really take lyric for a walk you know
bb: ya...or we could sell her
me: (ugh) um well, let's watch a movie! please pretty please...(big puppy dog eyes)
bb: tonya...i need to go to bed...
me: but babe! im not tired!
bb: don't you want to have a husband who wants to better himself? if i don't go to bed then i won't wake up in time to do anything before i work...
me: i love sleeping in with you though, i love waking up with you still next to me...
bb: babe...that's what weekends are for....scriptures?
me: (dang) ok fine...but i'm watching tv after....

read scriptures and say prayers

i turn on tv....billy turns down tv until no one but a dog could hear it....an hour later i am half asleep...tv is still on...billy turns off tv...i wake up and can't go back to sleep without my background noise....

i know i know i am totally the bad influence in this situation but is it so wrong to want to enjoy every second of every evening before i have to start it all over again?! ;)

say cheese...

so bb has been begging for a new camera...but not just any camera....the slr...

i'll be honest here and admit i was never against the idea of this new camera but the price tag has kept us at bay for a little while yet...but then i saw these photos taken by my beautiful cousin who is getting into photography and right away i thought, i really do need that slr... :)

i think i might frame my new fun finds in bb's office makeover that we will get to....someday....and every day from now until i finally break down you will probably be able to find me drooling and googling slr cameras.... ::sigh::

on a side note....well done ash!

home sweet home....

billy is oh so sick...poor guy....

last week billy went to tahoe and i flew out to see my familia in southern california. while billy worked worked worked and wore himself to the point of immune system fall out i played played played....and i must say i do miss my california...i got to see lots of good friends and tons of family while i was away from the hubby and although i missed him every single day it was definitely nice to be able to take my mind off of things and enjoy company i rarely get to see!

girl's night

St Patty's Day

so now we are both home...with each other....and oh how nice that is....but poor bb is soooo warn out....hopefully he gets better soon so we can play! :)

on a side note...the beloved animal in our house spent the week with her grandparents in idaho(THANK YOU!)...and well mom was a little worried that she might freeze her butt off being outside so we couldn't resist making her look absolutely ridiculous....

you love it , you know you do....

paint by number...

bb and i decided to bring out our creative sides..well, billy actually decided, but i have been wanting to do this for a while so i am really excited...tonight we went to hobby lobby and splurged a little on art supplies...we decided that we both wanted to try acrylic painting...just for a fun outlet...neither of us have extensive experience in this department :) but we figured why not have some fun and be creative....so here is our new art project...tonight we put together the little studio in bb's office....

hopefully things will be up and running soon and we will have some real projects to post...if nothing else we will definitely get a good laugh out of this little adventure! billy and i both are into modern/abstract art so we are hoping someday we can be like....

laurie maitland

or jackson pollockbut in the mean time...we will probably just be laughing at ourselves... a lot! :)

music downtown...

on saturday BB and i had to be at a birthday bash downtown at a piano bar...new and different experience...but a lot of fun! we had reservations at a table...ordered pizza and listened to two pianists duel and play audience requests all night...the whole audience really got into it and everyone was singing and having a great time...

just dance!

this video was way cute...my mom sent it to me and so of course i had to share....

dancing in the liverpool station

lovin' nyc...

this article by joanna goddard in glamour was just too cute to pass up...

"We Left Two Cameras on New York City Benches. What Happened Next?"

apart...

so so sad to say... billy has recently decided that he is going on a business trip to lake tahoe...for one whole week! :( i was distraught...what would i do with myself for a whole week without the hubsy? visions of sleepless nights and lonely me in our king size bed kept creeping up inside, i had anxiety just thinking about it, and then...

i thought about this.... and then this....

and then this....

and then this...

and of course this....

and realized what i HAD to do with my week...i'm goin' to cali :) and i am soooooo excited to be able to go...bumming that BB won't be there with me...but there is nothin' better then spending time with family and good friends when you can't be with the hubsy right!?

cali countdown....less then 2 weeks! :)
