bye bye, snow. and january.

Well, our snow fun has ended. We headed back to work yesterday and life is pretty much back to its regular pace. For as beautiful as snow is when it's falling and covering everything like a white blanket...it's really depressing to watch it melt away and turn everything into a mud pit.

Here's the front of our house as we left this morning. Womp womp-- no fun. Snowball fights are never gonna happen in something as lame as that.

Speaking of which-- I may not have blogged yesterday, but I made up for it in an over-abundance of sharing on Facebook and Instagram. If you don't follow me on either of those places, then you don't know that I treated Matt to a most worthy SNOWINYO'FAAAAACE!!! sequel: I pelted him with a snowball while he was showering yesterday morning!! It was awesome. And he has yet to seek revenge for either of my snow-related attacks, so...that's pretty much exactly how I expected things to go. I prank him. He gets mad for 10 seconds and then forgets to ever seek retribution. The key to a great marriage. 

Who needs marriage counseling when you have me? And I'm free!! Sheesh.

During our day and a half of snowcation we started two new shows on Netflix. On Tuesday night I decided to start Mad Men. I've heard many good things over the years but have never watched a single episode. So I watched three on Tuesday. But I'm gonna have to say...I didn't love it. Is that bad? It felt really slow. I kept getting bored and would look at the computer for a few minutes, then be slightly confused when I re-focused on the show...but then get bored again...and like, I didn't hate it, but it just didn't really draw me in. I turned it off easily and when I got up on Wednesday I didn't feel any compulsion to watch it again. Am I missing something? Have I dumbed myself down by a steady diet of reality TV and easy comedies? Oh well. 

So Wednesday night I decided to try something else. Revenge popped up on my recommended list, so I said why not?

And THAT is what's up. Revenge? Are you kidding me??! That show sucked me in within the first 10 minutes. We blew through about 5 episodes that night (staying up waaaaaay too late for a work night, oops!) and another dozen few last night. Maybe I'm wasting my life, but I really love marathoning TV shows. And this one is so worth it. Any other fans out there? I'm only about 10 episodes in or so, but I can tell this is how I'm going to be spending my weekend. Emily Thorne, you complete me!!

So that you don't think I'm totally, 100% nothing but lazy, may I present to you my almost-complete January workout calendar:

So far in January we've worked out 18 times!! And we're going to the gym today, too, so make that 19 when all's said and done. I am so proud of myself!  Considering there were several obstacles to overcome (bronchitis at the beginning of the month, a long weekend traveling, being snowed in)...I think we did really good!! I wanted to get my money's worth out of our new gym membership, and I'd have to wholeheartedly say that we did this month. 

Finally, a random screenshot of the funniest 'available wireless network' that popped up on my phone yesterday. I kindly bleeped out the most offensive words, but I'm pretty sure you'll be able to figure out what it said...

Sooo...yeah. It totally made me crack up. A house in my neighborhood has their wireless network named 'FBI SURVEILLANCE' and that makes me laugh every time too. Mine is something super boring, like a nondescript series of numbers and letters...and I don't really know how to change it...so I feel like I'm robbing my neighbors of the pleasure of easy entertainment. Sad situation, folks. I'm trying to get over it.

Have a wonderful weekend!
