LASAGNA

my mom reminded me tonight that I haven't seen her since Christmas... I was home in early March but my mom was in Chicago so I only visited with my dad. weird. sometimes growing up can suck- when I was younger, the longest I went without seeing my mom was one or two nights.

but here I am now, sitting on my parents' couch watching Seinfeld and having a beer with my dad. Mom made incredible lasagna for dinner and we took a long walk with the dogs.. tomorrow we'll hike and maybe play raquetball. I love days off, and I love being home. my goal is to come home once a month from now on. it just feels right.

and my parents are hilarious! my mom is ragging on my dad for "sneaking" ice cream. he will go have a yogurt before bed and then come back with another full yogurt container.. little did she know that he was actually filling the empty container up with ice cream! so funny. I love my parents.

love, love, love. as long as we're on that note, I love the mountains and Estes Park. and Colorado. I live in the best place in the world.

I may take a break..

but Molly does not. she is still being a crackhead. today I came home to find shredded cardboard all over the living room. she smelled the container Ry's french fries were in last night, dug it out of the trash, and shredded it into tiny little pieces. I don't even know how I saw the cardboard because she was jumping all over me, so excited that I was home. in her mouth was a rock (per usual) and when I looked closer, I realized that her teeth were black. BLACK. I looked around the room and noticed something long, skinny, and chewed in the corner. yep, Molly chewed a marker pen and now she has black teeth. sigh.

Ry is taking me out tomorrow night for our 9month. so funny- Monica and I were talking today about how the first few months, every 17th we would be like happy anniversary (!!) and now we're like oh yeah, another month. we are already old people :)
