News flash

In random news, I found an article today called 80 Totally Awesome Things from the 80s.

It's worth scrolling through and watching the videos and commercials if you are looking for a trip to the good old days.
I think I owned just about all of those toys.

I miss being a kid.

A kid from the 80s.
 

Who remembers Reading Rainbow?
When this show came on my sister and I used to go apeshit.
 

 In food news, I made creme brulee on Tuesday night. I used this recipe. It was runny and since I don't own a blow torch I had to use my oven broiler so the the top wasn't caramelized properly, but it was delicious. I planned to take a photo of the final product but by the time they were finally done (you have to cook and cool them twice!) I went caveman on it.

No photographic evidence.  
I love me some creme brulee.

 

In Quinn news, she likes having showers. I find that some nights blow by and we run out of time for a bath. On those occassions, Simon will take Quinn into the shower with him the next morning and she LOVES it. Her favorite part (according to Simon) is at the end when they have a cuddle. Simon holds her and lets he water spray down on her back. Adorbs.

 

In baby-making news, I had a full medical checkup at my regular doctor's and apparently I'm healthy. Everything checked out which is both good to hear but also kind of bad . I'm happy that everything is working as it should but that only makes the situation of not keeping a pregnancy that much more of a mystery.

In house news, I found this bedroom photo and although it doesn't show the whole room, I love the layout. Our bedroom is kind of laid out like that right now minus the pretty headboard, nightstands, armchairs, etc. I think this photo will serve as the inspiration for our bedroom furniture layout down the road.

And in music news, nothing makes a crappy day better than listening to Huey Lewis and the News.

And that's all I have for today.

Sickie Ickie

I'm siccckkkkk. 

And not in the gangster, cool way. 

In the mucousy, coughy, unattractive way. 

This morning I woke up sounding like Morgan Freeman. 

No joke. 

Simon is also sick so we are both home from work today. Quinn went to daycare so she wouldn't have to endure a day of napping, moaning and complaining. Oh, and a marathon of Lost; the only silver lining about being home sick today. 

That's about all this sickie can muster today. 

If you too are home sick, I suggest you go here and make yourself feel better. 

xo, Vicky
