Is he wearing a monkey ascot?

I love my husband. He’s an amazing, awesome man.

Today has been a "I can’t be bothered with the idea of food so nothing sounds appetizing because I’m not hungry" kind of day. I get those every so often. So even though I started thinking about what we could have for lunch at 11am, we didn’t eat until 1. The only reason we did eat it because Jake came into the kitchen while I was sitting on the floor (crying over how annoyed with myself I was at being completely incapable of making any kind of food-related decision) and started getting things moving. We had breaded chicken breasts (we always have a big bag of them frozen, we love the things and eat them with many meals) wrapped in a tortilla with cheese and lettuce. Pretty yummy (my chicken had a gross grissle bit in the middle, but Jake ate it so that’s good, he’s bigger than me, he should have bigger meals).

Pretty much straight after lunch, we went off on an adventure. To Target. It’s an adventure because it takes more than half an hour to get there. That’s adventure distance!

At Target, we had a list of 9 things we wanted to at least look for. Out of those 9, we left with 7. One we couldn’t find (pyrex-type cereal bowl. Jake has one, I want), and the other we looked at but there wasn’t anything good. I need a new bra, and I tried on a whole bunch of nursing bras and such because I figured that made the most sense (plus they were the only ones in the entire store that had no underwire). Seeing myself in the changing room mirrors – I’m rather huge in the belly. It’s pretty awesome. I look awesome.

We got an incredibly cheap, incredibly sturdy roasting pan with a rack (our old one, you put the turkey on the rack and the meat instantly touches the base because the rack bends. Also, the pan would SLIDE out of the oven if you even dared to look at it wrong when you open the oven. Which is pretty terrifying when it is holding a 15lb turkey with a whole bunch of boiling fat and juices in the pan!) that we weren’t even looking for, they just had a bunch of thanksgiving-useful things in one spot and BAM it was there, luring us in. We also got a fat-seperator, although I’m not thrilled about that. I might be once I’ve actually used it. Gravy making! And because I have a thanksgiving fund set aside, these didn’t get in the way of our being able to buy a few other things.

We got a new bedside lamp! It’s kind of odd-shaped, but I think I’ll like it a lot soon. It looks like a grown-up lamp, rather than the old one which I’m certain was bought for Kristen when she was about 7. It certainly looks that way.

What else did we get… I got new undies (very exciting, too many of my good pairs hurt me at the moment because the waistband digs in too much), Jake got a new shirt and pair of pants for work (super-breathy workout type material, he’s a very sweaty dude and working in a kitchen makes that even more so. His entire work wardrobe is now this super breathable wicky type material, and it makes him so happy, it’s adorable). I think that’s it… no! I got pretty cards to mail out.

If you want a christmas card (not really ‘christmassy’, I should use the word holiday or seasonal, but I’m just so used to calling them christmas cards.) …..if you want a card, leave your address in a private note so I can send you one!

I don’t like spending so much money, especially seeing as we don’t really have a lot floating around to spend on things-that-aren’t-bills-and-food, but nothing was just a "oooh, pretty, I want" type purchase, it’s all practical, so that makes it a bit better I guess.

Title: I had Psych on in the background last night and that line popped out at me. The guy was in fact wearing a monkey-toy around his neck. So odd and amusing.
