new blog address

Well. Heads Up. I'm switching our blog URL. Everytime I go to post a blog, it makes me sign in using my gmail account. When I got married, I changed my e-mail address to have my new last name. Now, my gmail account is always automatically signed in with the new email address and its such a pain to sign out of that account and sign in with my old email address. Ya follow? Anyway, I know that I'm kind of a baby. But it annoys me. And blogger wont let me do a new email address and still have the same URL. Anyway, I know that its a pain. but I'm doing it anyway. :) the new blog address is:

greglovesjord.blogspot.com

no more posts here!

p.s.

larger around the top and the bottom as well. not just the middle.
i wish it was just the middle. :]
ha.
but no. dont get ideas into your heads.

not so great.

i didnt win the contest.
im tired.
i have a paper due tomorrow.
i have a french final tomorrow (defintiely not ready for it).
i start working full time in a week. i super love my job. but i dont have the attention span to sit in one place for 8 hours a day!!
its cold outside. the sun went away.
people love to make plans then bail.
my house needs to be cleaned.
im getting progressively larger around the middle.
thus, i cant find an outfit to wear to kate's wedding that doesnt make me look like a whale.
i tried on probably 13 dresses on saturday. none of them fit.
it was distressing.
and, our best friends are moving next week.

thanks for letting me complain.
contrary to popular belief, complaining does make you feel better.

i want to win.

this blog that i read (who also happens to be my french teacher..!) is doing this amazing giveaway that i want to win super bad! to increase my chances...I'm making a post about it. haha. he did the project called ABC Paris. While he has been in Paris over the last few years (okay, the last lot of years) he has taken pictures of things around the city that are especially "Parisian" that look like alphabet letters. He has the whole alphabet, plus some letters have a couple of options. He has an option where you can get the photo of the letter, then at the bottom of the page there is a quote that goes along with the letter. They're super cute. I really love them all. This one in particular is the one that I want to win! There is a super funny quote at the bottom about walking by pastry shops and wanting to buy a sweet. I love it. and isn't the picture just delicious? yum.

anyway, check out his blog HERE. and check out the ABC Paris project HERE. every picture is just awesome!!

and..cross your fingers that i win. I never win anything!! but hey, this little post just doubled my chances. score.

what a FABULOUS summer we are headed into!

 oh. we had an easter photo shoot today. our friends gave us the idea to take family pictures every easter. i liked it. and i just bought a cute new sweater. so we borrowed their tradition. this was the only picture that i dare show to the public. and im a little embarrassed to do that. i have chinese eyes..even though there isn't an ounce of chinese in me. my face is chunky. when i smile, my eyes disappear in the big cheeks. the big chunky kind..that are cute on 2 year olds. gross jordan! but in the rest of the photos i look like im pregnant, cuz my stomach is just that gross at the moment. so. i dared not put those up to avoid possible confusion. no. im not pregnant. just fat. gross.

have a great week!
