coming up with titles is my least favorite thing about blogging

This was my Valentine's Day gift to Allen. I couldn't find a bag (you'd think we would have one after all of the wedding gifts....), but I accidentally bought red saran wrap at the store a few weeks ago and this is what I came up with! Just covered up my bad wrapping job with some hearts and it looked like a legit V-day gift!
Last weekend we went to a deliiiiiiicious restaurant in Davis Square called Redbones. It was a BBQ joint and I seriously don't know if I've had better BBQ, and I'm from Texas. I got the BBQ Brisket sandwich and Allen got the pulled pork. WE LOOOOOOOVED it.

Something that is really funny to me:

I work in the Dean's Office and I've been at the front desk a few days this week. The past two days, someone that I know (in one case a teacher of mine, another a student I've collaborated with) has come in and gotten all up in my grill about some issue they are having. They don't like the way records are being taken or are upset about how people are getting paid. Hold. The. Phone. I had NOTHING to do with any of the things you are complaining about and I can't tell you ANYTHING about them either. I can refer you to people, but don't waste your breath getting upset at me. It's kind of surprising that they would do that. Raaaarr.

Aaaaaand, you know something is wrong when you have your Insurance Member # memorized. Wow.

A quote I saw this morning:


Great minds discuss ideas;

average minds discuss events;

small minds discuss people.

-Eleanor Roosevelt

Guys. I'm pretty sure I'm average. I talked to Allen about the episodes of Family Feud I've been watching at the gym for about 45 minutes on Wednesday night. At least I'm not watching E! or soap operas... there aren't many options at 3 p.m. and I need something to keep my legs moving. I wonder what's on at 12:30? Anyway, I'm average. I'm working on it though-- it's a good thing I live with a great mind who is patient with an average mind and sometimes helps me discuss things that matter (and who will indulge me when I need to be average... Family Feud is interesting okay). Hold on a second, am I small? Family Feud is just a bunch of people. What is happening to me?!!

Also. We generally eat delicious food in our house. I'm pretty nervous about what we're going to eat when it warms up because we live on soups. Not kidding. Last night we had this and it was kinda weird but sooooo good. It smelled like french toast but turned out to be strangely delicious. If you are a sweet potato fan this is for you. Mmmmmm.


That completes today's random post. :)

I hate coming up with titles too!!! It's the worst. I'm so not creative with words. I'm pretty sure I'm going to make that soup this week. Yum! Thanks for the recipe.

I'm sad to admit that I'm a small to average (on a really good day) mind.

But I loved your post, and I love to hear about how things are going for you! I miss you.

Well, you need to listen to Dennis Prager. He is all about ideas. That will help you spring board into talking ideas. And....I think you can find him on ksky.com Aren't I helpful? How do I do that?
