Hey, you’re Addison Forbes Montgomery Shepard right? That’s a lot of names, a lot of rich sounding names. You’re rich, right? That’s rude. That’s a rude question. -Izzie, Grey’s Anatomy

Last night after a long day in the office I came home to find that Match had cleaned every surface of the apartment, had started a load of laundry, and was in the process of vacuuming the couch, the stairs, the floor, and even our area rugs. I can’t begin to tell you how unbelievable grateful I am for such a sweet and thoughtful boyfriend.

The reason for his cleaning frenzy, besides being amazing, was that we were hosting a dinner/game night for Gym Buddy (who I’ve renicknamed Drama Chick and her boyfriend,  who we’ll call B. Match knows that I love having a nice clean house when I play hostess, so he did it all for me so I could focus on dinner. The night was a lot of fun, which was a relief after the mini drama DC started earlier in the week. (more…)

This month’s SPT challenge is really cute. It goes with the upcoming wedding season, and I’m sure you can guess the rest of this month’s challenges.

Now for my something old-I chose an old picture of my very shiny toenails and my pup Monkey at my Cinco De Mayo Party in 2006. He’s going to be 6 this summer, which means next year he’ll be a senior dog, and definitely no longer a puppy, sniff. He looks so much younger in this picture! Oh, yes I still wear that purple shirt. Maybe it’s time for new clothes for Date Girl? Also note the very very outdated linoleum. Talk about old!

I also thought this picture was fitting, because it reminds me of all the old wild parties we used to have during my college years. That party in particular was crazy-it included homemade pinatas filled with cigarettes and condoms  (not my idea!!), wild drunken people, and me about two jeans sizes smaller, sigh. 

I know three years ago isn’t “old” but it feels like it was centuries ago, compared to how I am spending my Cinco this year: curled up on the couch with my laptop, Monkey asleep at my feet, and most of all, QUIET! I do miss the wild parties at times, but I don’t think I could stay awake for anything on a weeknight. Here it is not even 10 and I’m already falling asleep. Maybe I’m just getting “old”.

Ross: You know how you throw your jacket on a chair at the end of the day? Well, like that — only, instead of a chair, it’s a pile of garbage. And instead of a jacket, it’s a pile of garbage. And instead of the end of the day, it’s the end of time and garbage is all that has survived! -Friends

I think I mentioned in a few posts back that Match and I have started our own company, a little side business. It’s a cleaning company, where we specialize in cleaning apartments or houses after people move out. What’s great about the business is that Match works for his mom’s property management company. So after people move out, they call us to clean up the units. We’ve had a lot of business in these past two months, and we’re starting to generate some real cash. (more…)
