4 hands

There are some craft projects that are just easier when there are 2 people helping meaning 4 hands available to hold, maneuver and craft when needed. 

Early patients

My patients came on time or early today so I was able to run a few errands after work! The timing definitely worked out!

Young love

It's so cute watching Dean & Loralei in their young high school romance.

Forgiving recipes

Super useful when you think you screwed up a dinner recipe. 

24 hours

Two nights in a row that Chloe slept 12 hours straight. I can't even dream of anything better than this right now nor will I ask for more than what I've already been given. 

'Just because' flowers

Who doesn't like to get flowers just because?

8 hours uninterrupted sleep

Technically 7.5 hours but I'll take what I can get. 

Annual passes

It means we can go to Disneyland for 4 hours and leave without feeling like we're wasting money. 

Close restaurants

Tonight we definitely settled for substandard food since it was a close restaurant. At least my stomach is full. 

Netflix

I've always liked Friends (the show) and I've seen a majority of the episodes but I've never seen the series finale. So I started watching the series from the beginning and just finished watching the finale. I feel like a portion of my high school/college life has come to a close and I feel complete. Haha I'm so lame

Long naps

I was so drained this weekend so when Alex took care of Chloe and let me take a 2 hour nap I felt so refreshed. I hope I never take napping for granted.

Disposable tupperware

Sometimes you don't want to open it for fear of the gross smell that may come out so it's good when you can just chuck the tupperware!

Afternoon labs

I went to get my blood drawn today and I got there at 3pm and was done by 3:10pm.  It would have been faster but the lab tech was talking to Chloe and gave her stickers.  I'm so glad I went in the afternoon when there's no line for the lab!

Flexible people

I've changed the plans for Chloe's baptism 5-6 times. I have to be thankful for people who are flexible and who can go with my flow and understand when I make all these changes. I hope everything turns out ok in the end.

Mobile apps

I thought I'd be able to get to work early to use the computer for the conference call but that didn't happen so I'm super thankful there are mobile apps that let me join in from my cell phone!

Salad bar

Bc I ate so gross yesterday!

Frozen pizza

AKA my backup food. Specifically CPK BBQ chicken pizza thin crust. 

Twilight in the backyard

...laying under the tree, listening to the birds, all wrapped up in a blanket. It was blissfully simple.

Long naps

Chloe's taking a long nap today! Hopefully that means she won't be cranky in the afternoon. 

Last minute appointments

It works out when they can squeeze you in for an appointment at the last minute. I'm glad I was able to be seen by a doctor today!

IBU 600mg

because menstrual cramps are not the business. IBU is my friend and makes them go away.

Old pictures

I stumbled on some old pictures of our house when we were just looking around and before we put an offer in on it.  Then I read the old emails between our agent, the seller's agent and the seller.  It puts it all into perspective how different things are in our life now and how far we've come.  I'm so thankful for the changes and I'm so thankful for the things in my life.

Previous EPIC users

My new pharmacy resident has used EPIC before which makes the transition and training SO much easier! HOORAY!  Makes my Monday that much better too!

Simple fancy meals

Reverse seared steaks and baked salmon are 2 dishes that taste like they took a lot of effort but are very simple to make. We had those plus a few other side dishes for Easter lunch with my family and afterwards Alex said, 'I feel like I didn't cook that much.' In reality he cooked 6 different dishes. 

Guilty pleasures

Tonight my friends and I watched Furious 7. It was so ridiculous but so amazing at the same time. That whole franchise is such a guilty pleasure and I'm so ridiculously happy I got to watch the movie with my girlfriends. 

Preheated oven

I took advantage of baking my salmon for lunch and baked banana muffins right after. It was a 2 minute preheat since it went from 350 to 375. So easy!

Combo vaccine shots

Today Chloe had her 12 mo well baby visit. This is the one where she gets 6 immunizations. Alex and I were hoping that KP would have the combo shot and she would only be poked 3 times but alas she had to have 6 separate vaccines with 6 separate needles. While Chloe didn't benefit from the combo shots I'm still thankful they exist for those patients who are lucky enough to get them. 

Mornings off

I was able to use today to run some errands since I had the morning off and I brought Chloe to daycare for her first day in the waddler room!
