Miso's Occupational Hazards

Saturday, April 21, 2007

It's been one week!



There's a bout of happiness going around! It's been one week since Abby came into our lives, Val is back from Utah from his sister's graduation as of a couple hours ago, it was my coworker's B-day yesterday (happy B-day Stina!), and it's now officially my vacation.

So what is this girl going to do to celebrate? Um... Blog about it?

Sadly enough, the coffers are running a bit low. I'm tempted, however, to spend the time getting completely unpacked and to finally plan a housewarming party. I'd also like to spend some time over at the nearby tanning salon for a change. I've been too pasty for far too long.

All you need is love, love... Love is all you need.

So Val took off today to go to his sister's graduation in Utah. It seems so weird to be home alone without him. I try to be fiercely independent (see China Trip #2) but end up failing big time.

Val is a lot of things to me- he's my sunshine, my happiness, my love, my teddy bear, and my best friend. He's also my cook, my chauffeur, and my entertainment. I guess that fiercely independent thing didn't work out so well after all, did it?

I don't even really believe in the whole soulmate thing, but I really think Val and I have found something unbelievably special. It's only been 810 minutes since I've seen him last and it's already wearing me down.

The Mochinator



You know Mochi has destroyed something you hold dear when you come home to this face... RIP brand new bamboo plant. You were beautiful while you lasted.

Yay for getting a good deal!

I don't care much for shopping, except when it comes to home decorating and for handbags. I'll grimace at spending a few extra dollars when it comes to a nice shirt, but will happily plunk down some change for a new handbag. Crazy? Maybe.

When Val and I had our dose of Weekend Angst, we ventured north to Marysville. Sure enough, the bargains were brewing at Coach. My urge to indulge in a little retail therapy was quenched- I saw the bordeaux suede bag that I have been eyeing for the last six months... marked from $269 down to $84.99... As well as a leather wallet marked down 40%. Funny thing is that Val was going to pick that bag up for me for Christmas but grabbed a satchel instead. Now they're both in my custody, where they will remain for many happy years.

Of course, a picture of my happy handbag family:



My tastes wander a bit, wouldn't you say?
