Tuesday Tell-All

*This picture perfectly sums up my idea of what spring break should look like: a little sugar, a little health, and a little brainwork. And of course, the whole lovely scene took place in our sunny kitchen in the quiet of late afternoon. Perfect! *Just to clarify, I didn’t get the university’s spring break this …

*Have I mentioned before how Matt is growing an avocado plant from an avocado that I bought last summer? It’s kind of a funny story, actually—he had started growing an avocado plant on his mission and has just always wanted to grow another one, so he started dropping not-so-subtle hints soon after we got married that …

  *I am probably a little obsessed about the color combination of blue and grey. I think I wear it at least three times a week. But how can I help it, when it’s just so darn easy? *America’s Next Top Model started three weeks ago. How is it that I just found out about …

*I discovered something very important about myself today. Apparently, I would prefer running 12 miles at a humanly-normal pace (aka, 10-min. miles) rather than running 3 miles at an unhuman pace (for me, that’s apparently 8:50 miles). I have a feeling that I’m going to start dreading my Tuesday speed runs… *I discovered something else very …

*Yesterday I came home from the school to find all of this waiting just inside the apartment. You can imagine my confusion (as yesterday was the 13th), and I was thinking that Matt just got his days mixed up and gave me my present a day early. But it turns out, he planned it that …
