Harley, Huh...

B-A-C-K-D-A-T-E-D, chyeahhhhhhup.

Today was another really good day.

For starters, Rob bought a Harley today. I'm pretty sure any good day starts off that way ;) He got a deaaaaal on this thing, and with a little of his genius handywork, some of the minor cosmetic stuff will be taken care of [along with some other mods, I'm sure] and if this weather keeps up, I don't doubt I'll see this in front of my house at some point. We'll see!


helloooo, harley!

Yes, that's right.. he's got another toy. I think he may actually hang onto this one for a little while this time... but we'll see ;).

& that's that, huh..
sitting on the back of the boat watching my man
& his new toy... can't say i hate this life ♥

A couple of shameless selfies on a gorgeous day... sure? Why not, I was parked up on the back of the boat enjoying the sun for a little while and it's sometimes what happens when you're me and you have a camera in hand...

welcome to the my beautifully lazy sunday (:

And of course more.. of my best friend.. slash boyfriend.. slash best thing this place has to offer.. I'm smitten, yeah....

more rapid fire shots he didn't see coming ;)

The weekend of course wouldn't be complete without some hangtime with the muttballs, aka Sasha & Stella!

These two.. they sound so mean but growling at each other for tug-of-war, but the minute they're interrupted it's slobbery kiss city.. haha.


We started to get hungry, so we decided to make a quick trip out to Wasabi in Edwardsville before I jumped on the road back to Ohio. Pretty good decision, considering neither of us had been there in a while and we were craving sushi.

Yummmm.
We got back to Rob's and spent some more time lazing around with the pups and chit-chatting about this sometimes-chaotic but amazing relationship that we're in with each other. Long distance isn't easy by any stretch, but I'm realizing that when the right people are on both ends, getting together like we did this weekend won't feel like we skipped a single beat. I'm a lucky girl, through and through and I'm stickin' to it. 

i'm baaaack...

Oh, and I took a power nap and left pretty late; night driving on road trips has always been my preference for some reason, so I was just fine hitting the highway in the dark. The only downside? I headed back into EST, which meant an hour ahead.

.. Which meant I rolled into my driveway at 3:15 AM.
So yes, this is backdated.. but it's been an incredible weekend (:
[I'm spent. Adios, for now...]

Lightly Bittersweet :?

Farewell to a bittersweet day.

First, I must wish a far-off birthday wish for an old friend of mine :) This pretty mama just had TWINS just a few months back and she is fabulous. I aspire to be as cute in the event I find myself post-birth of doubles. From the days of Filipino fiestas at UC - I always had a blast with this gal.

Happy Birthday, Lauren!

[I adore birthdays!]

On the more somber side, today was the scheduled 'going-away' dinner for Nancy. She accomplished the task of coercing the dinner plans outside of what's more traditionally done for those of us who move on; we found ourselves at the Edwardsville Wasabi. I hadn't been, but after tonight, I'll be back. In spite of the food allergies from some of our party, we still managed a 6-roll sushi boat, 2 orders of shumai, 4 orders of edamame, 4 orders of potstickers, and 1 round of red bean mochi. Plus drinks. Plus some chicken teryaki. Haha. Hey... if you're gonna eat, go big or go somewhere other than Wasabi :).

nom nom nom....

It's gonna be a bittersweet next 2 days before Nancy heads out the door for the last time and off to her next endeavor. I'm not gonna think about that right now; it compels me to do something wild like forget.... 

....to.....

..... show up to work tomorrow?

No? Darn. Well, I'll save that outlandish idea for another day. :-x. 

Oy. Anyway, it's midweek. Happy Wednesday!
