Post-finals laze



 Finals have come and gone and this household could not be happier. This was a pretty intense finals period. Like, at least two major meltdowns. Like hyperventilating, I-don't-know-anything, tear-filled meltdowns.

Dan. He is the unsung hero of finals. Actually, I'll sing it right now. That man deserves an award. I reached crazy town levels of insanity this semester and he took it all in stride. He made me hot chocolate with about 2 parts hot chocolate and 1 part whipped cream (a 1/3 ratio is good for the soul). He made christmas happen and I came home to lights draped on the walls and stockings hanging from the windowsill. He made nourishing meals more times than I can count. He held me and prayed for me when I thought I had lost 1/3 of a nearly finished government contracts outline (thank God Macs are miracle machines that back documents up more than I do). He was just fantastic. Enough things cannot be said.

If I do well this semester it will in large part due to him.

I've spent the last three days sleeping, lazing about, streaming netflix and eating christmas colored m&ms (I can never pass the big bags up. All the red and green!). I've been finishing up some christmas shopping and prep and getting ready to spend the holidays, just me and Dan, in DC. We are finally getting a tree this weekend. Dan is making latkes on Satruday and we've been lighting the menorah candles each night.

The holidays are here, folks. And I am so excited to enjoy them and forget all about admin law. If no one says Chevron ever again it'll be too soon.

Easter Parade

Sweater: Target, Dress: H&M, Shoes: Urban Outfitters, Belt: Modcloth

The other day I looked on Netflix to see if they had Easter Parade on instant watch, you know to get in the spirit, but they didn't. However, Meet Me in St. Louis was available so I watched that instead. Judy Garland is amazing.
See that bucket up there? That is what the Easter Bunny brings to grown ups. Or at least, that's what we bring to the people hosting us for Easter lunch. The other couple, Pete and Lindsey, and their son, William, are also from the West Coast, up in Washington. Seeing as Easter, a great holiday, is not plane-ticket-home worthy, they invited us over for lunch which was great. We also spent Thanksgiving with them and I must say it is great to have people to spend these holidays with. Oh, and she made those cupcakes from scratch and they were amazing.  Happy Easter! He is risen indeed!
