A Wonderfully Random Morning

I had an interview with a Croatian TV station about Operation Beautiful this morning via Skype.   The most glorious thing about Skype is that all you have to do is fix your hair and put on a nice shirt.  I’m wearing sweatpants on the bottom. :)

After the interview, I skyped with Michelle for a while.  She got to meet the dogs and the Husband.  It’s so cool that I can connect with blog friends in Australia, too!

The world gets smaller every day!

 

The Husband didn’t have class today, so we are both working in the home office.  It gets a little crowded when there are two of us here, but I like it!  He is preparing to take his medical board exams (which are crazy expensive, by the way).  The Husband was looking through old pictures trying to find a headshot for the application when he stumbled upon….

 

A VERY old picture of us!  We’re 19 years old in this picture.  It’s from the first night we hung out together.

I thought he was so cool.  I was not.  :)

 

Lunch:

I made a yummy hot goat cheese and cucumber sammie:

Plus a spinach salad:

And 1 cup of Butternut Squash soup from Wolfgang Puck:

And a 1/2 serving of POM Wonderful blueberry juice:

Whew!  That was quite a random post.  :)   My life is random, what can I say?

      Hi Mary! No you don’t need a camera, you can just talk without pictures. More fun with a camera though!

    I didn’t meet my hubs that long ago so we don’t have any cute pics like that. Keep them safe :)

    I love to see old pictures like that. You should do what Meghann did and try on your old high school dance dresses :) Sometimes I wonder if it’s weird that I know so much about your life and I’ve never met you. Then i get over it and read the next post.

    Skype looks great. One day we’ll use it. Right now we don’t have a webcam though so it will have to wait. But I had to giggle at your first photos. I’ve totally done stuff like this before when taking pictures.

    Cute picture!!! I used to use skye all the time when I talked to applicants in other countries (I used to be a college Admissions counselor) it is really cool!

  28. awwwwwwww cute picture of you and your husband! You look so different! And it’s funny to me that he’s got a beer in his hand haha.
    You are so right, skype is AMAZING.
    I live in New Zealand and I use it to keep in touch with my Italian exchange brother in Italy :D AMAZING! Technology is truly incredible.

    It always amazes me how you make even the most basic things look so delicious and pretty. I’ve read that making your food visually appealing is very important. Do you think that’s true? If so, why??

      well its important for me because i take pictures :) hehe but i do think its important for everyone. food should be savored and enjoyed, not shoved rapidly into your mouth.

    Congrats on the interview! I love finding old pictures, too…I’m 19 now, I wonder if I already have a pic with my future husband? Hmmm, scary thought…

    Enjoy the rest of your day!

    I would like to state that I don’t normally look like I am 15 years old and that isn’t my poster.

    It was so fun meeting your little family. I want to cuddle your little dogs..they’re too cute.

    I love the random posts. I also like seeing old pictures, you guys are so cute! My boyfriend and I have been together the better part of the last 11 years (I am only 25) and we have so many pics like that. It’s so nice to have known someone that long :) I also have to comment on your hot goat cheese and cuc sammy. I love that because it’s such a summery type of sandwich but heating it makes it appropriate for me here in Boston during the colder months. Thanks for the idea!

    Skype is so amazing, isn’t it? You can keep in touch and it’s FREE! The husband and I would die without it. It’s how we keep in contact with family. And we don’t have a home phone in Japan, just cells, so we pay six bucks a month and can call any line in the U.S for free! Totally worth it!

    That hot goat cheese and cucumber sammie looks yummy. Two of my favorite ingredients…
    My former roommate had a long distance boyfriend in Norway – Skype was their best friend.

    I seriously love old photos – especially of couples from way back when. So super cute.
