Winter Time?

You guys, I was driving home from work today and my car's temperature gauge told me it was 64 degrees today..Today, February 5th! We should be in the dead middle of winter here and instead I'm barely wanting to wear a jacket. Look at this:


The sad part is I kind of made Larry buy us tubes last month because I figured the warm weather would go away eventually and we'd get a nice snow storm eventually. I don't think that anymore, obviously. This is the weirdest winter I've ever seen in my 27 years, granted the first like 12 I don't recall very well. At first I was really bummed, I really wanted snow and time to do all the fun winter stuff (sledding, skiing, building a snowman, drinking hot chocolate), but now that we are into February I'm okay if we just stay warm from here on out.

The only down side is it makes me want to take a vacation really bad. I know we have NY coming up, but I want to do a road trip. I've kind of started looking at Las Vegas deals, I think we may go next month just so we can get out for a quick weekend getaway.

The good news is it's just about tax time. We're just waiting on one of Larry's W-2's and then we can finally file ours. I'm pretty stoked. I did mine online just to see what it would look like and I can't hate what it told me. But I can't do part of mine unless we file jointly so I have to wait still (patience isn't my strong suit, let me just say that).

I haven't done anything of much note, but here's what the last week has looked like so far:

Last weekend I decided to go out on a drive and ended up calling my mom while walking around Kohl's. She was grocery shopping so we were commenting on things we saw and everything so it kind of felt like we went shopping together...it was nice! I miss weekend shopping trips with my mom (we used to just walk around stores all the time, not necessarily buying something, just walking around). Then last night Cindy, Grandma, and my cousins all came over and we got to hang out for a few hours. It was nice to meet up with them and catch up. Larry was helping fix Cindy's computer (he's such an awesome husband, helping out my family without complaining or asking for anything in return. He even said it was nice to have a computer to tinker with again haha) so we were waiting for everything to get moved over while talking about everything from babies, to buying new houses, to roller coasters and a bunch of stuff in between. Playing with the girls was fun, while they weren't crying, and seeing baby Olivia is always fun (she's in a smiley stage and is so adorable)!

We also bought our tickets to go see Fifty Shades of Grey last weekend. Say what you will about how it's basically porn, I don't care. I'm not saying it's the best entertainment, but I thought the books were interesting and I'm definitely curious to see how the movies are. I'm not too excited about casting, but we'll see how well it comes across, I'll keep an open mind (even though Twilight really makes that hard to do now!).

Larry goes to class, works from home every day now, and plays his games. I've just had such crazy work weeks when I get home I just love to relax so we're both pretty much full of thrills over here haha. I have gotten back into working out. We both go Mondays and Wednesday and I'll be including Saturdays starting this weekend. I forgot how much I really love to run, but man was I so so sore after Monday this week. We didn't go last night because of family being over (I'm not complaining though), so I skipped then, but Saturday I can make up for it. Larry got me a heart monitor watch thing so I'm excited to wear it to see what my body goes through and where I can improve things.

That's pretty much been February so far, not too much excitement going on, but thanks for reading anyways :)
