What’s been going on

Thanks everyone for being patient with me while I’ve had some stuff going on. And thanks for all your well wishes, things are finally starting to look up around here.

I had a long detailed diatribe written out about everything that’s been going on, but even my eyes were glazing over when I tried to read over it so I decided to just give you the condensed version and focus on moving forward instead.

Basically, we hate our apartment. We’ve been trying to find a place for months with no luck, finally found a great place but had some problems with the application process, and now we’ve been biting our nails in agony waiting to hear if we got it.

And then…..Jeff got rear-ended (for the second time in 3 months.)

It wasn’t as bad as the last time, but still more than we need to deal with right now.

Maybe all this doesn’t sound too bad, but there’s more going on than I can get into on the blog. My nerves are absolutely shot after these last two weeks from hell. We should hear today wether or not we got that house we applied for, so hopefully this will all be over soon. Regardless, I plan on getting back into a semi-normal blogging schedule this week.

Until tomorrow, here is another cat picture to lighten the mood…

Lucas is such a crazyface. :)

What’s your favorite way to relax when you’re really stressed out?

Be back soon

Hey everyone. Just wanted to pop in and say that I’m alive and that I’ll be back to regular blogging soon, though I’m not sure exactly when.

Jeff and I are having a very stressful week and the frustrations keep piling on. So for the moment I’m going to focus on taking care of those things, because right now even thinking about blogging makes my head want to explode. When everything settles down around here, hopefully in the next day or two, I’ll fill you in on what’s got me in such a tizzy right now.

Until then, here is a picture of Liam sleeping like a weirdo with his arm twisted…

Talk to you all again soon!

Blogger meet-up at R. Thomas

So sad the weekend is over, this one just flew by.

This past Saturday I got to do something fun though. We had another Atlanta blogger meet-up, this time at R. Thomas, a strange little place that focuses on healthy food with a veggie focus. It’s a pretty eclectic place, with tropical birds in cages and detailed gardens surrounding it.

I hadn’t been there in several years so I was excited to get to go back. Please forgive these crazy photos, the lighting in there is all neon green flourescent.

I started with a Vitality juice, carrot with a “green superfoods” powder added. It tasted very…carroty. Good for me though. :)

I decide to try something really different for me and went with one of their raw plates.

Raw veggie dinner

This was just ok. Both of the salads were bland, the walnut sunflower loaf was really salty, and the guac was very moussey when I much prefer it chunky. Nothing was bad, just not awesome and not very filling.

No matter, this is what I was really there for…

Kristy snapped that one of me totally immersed in my camera. :)

It’s so nice to hang out with a whole table full of people who also take pictures of their food, makes me feel less weird. Surprisingly, we didn’t talk much about blog stuff, we never really do at these things.

Tina was nice enough to bring us samples of LoveGrown granola and Lindsay brought several types of Snickers Marathon bars for us to choose from. Yay, goodies!

I can’t believe how big our group is getting, and this was just the ones that could make it!
