Sunny Day - In Pictures

Sunny day

Ok. Well hello.

Even she seems confused

Kisses

Look at the camera

Where are you going?

Ouch. You're on my stomach

Jealous

Happy Halloween!!

Ok, maybe it's the middle of May, but I look like a frankenweirdo. I had to go to the dentist today, and I thought I'd share the faces of me.

This is me trying to smile. I mean REALLY trying. The girls at the dentist kept saying "you don't look puffy or weird at all. Don't worry!" Bless their hearts.

I was told it would take about 2.5 hours to wear off. This is about hour three. Yeah... getting there though!! By the way, my cheeks used to look like this about 10-15 years ago. I was underweight, but had the biggest cheeks ever.

I wasn't trying to make a kissy face. I was actually trying to make the letter "R".

And the letter "M". I was singing "Rumor Has It" by Adele. Not an easy song with half your mouth numb. Now try to imagine what drinking water was like for me. I just kept smacking my lips together so the liquid wouldn't fall out.

Back to normal. Also, on drugs. I feel better than I have in a week! But more on that tomorrow. Or, soon.

Something New

Hello my friends.

I know, I know. I'm terrible at keeping in touch. But I just wanted to drop you a line and let you know that I'm staring a small off shoot blog. I realize it's a bit ironic that I never update the ONE I had before, and now I'm going to have TWO... but this is something different, and I hope you'll follow along.

Hello World!

Hello world! I lost my challenge on the most random March Madness bracket event ever, but that's ok. Just between you and me, it was kind of a hassle. You had to keep promoting yourself, harassing others, and trash talking on Facebook. Honestly, it was a lot of work. So now I get to sit back and vote while everyone else tries to tear their opponent apart (sounds friendly, right?).

Anyway, I'm on to a new challenge. Brady and I are having a death match February fitness challenge, winner take all. Well, we haven't decided what the winner gets yet... But just you wait.

Since my lovely boyfriend is an accountant he has put together a very detailed (and color coded) excel spreadsheet. It breaks down everything from cardio/weights and calorie intake to romantic time and whether we drink alcohol or not. It's intense. The points are weighted depending on who does what. For example: I'm more likely to do cardio at the gym, so I only get .1 points per minute - Brady gets .125; on the other hand Brady is more likely to lift weights so he gets .1 points per minute, and I get .125. Yeah, we're nerds. It'll be interesting to see who wins since we're both pretty competitive. I'm even thinking about posting some before and after shots... but we'll see.

Oh yeah, and if you want a copy of the spreadsheet to compete against us both, let me know!

I need your help!

That's right. I'm shamelessly promoting myself on the inter-world. Vote for me for Matt Holt's March Madness friendship edition. Yes, it's a total popularity contest and I don't want to lose! It's neck and neck, with me behind, so I need YOUR help.

Follow the link below and vote for Carly Saade. In return I will write you the best post EVER!

Thank you internet.

Snowed In

Hello internet world! We have been snowed in since Tuesday night at the Saade-Fisher household. This morning we woke up to the inches of ice (that had been sandwiched between inches of snow) finally melted. We were lucky enough not to lose power, it sounds like everyone around us did.


It was a nice excuse to be lazy, even if we got a little stir crazy at times. Brady managed some work from home in between our Harry Potter and How I Met Your Mother marathons, Uno games, and beer drinking. One day we managed to walk to the nearest redbox; we walked three miles in four inches of snow while it raining. Freezing rain that is.

I can't wait to tell how "In my day we had to walk in the snow and rain THREE MILES..." :) We made up for our workout by eating. All. The. Time. Something about the cold outside (certainly not boredom) made us hungry every second of the day.


As you can see, Kyzer loves the snow....



Minion seemed to prefer this:

Oh, and if you're wondering why a little snow shuts down our city, this article is for you: Critics of Seattle in the snow

For Brady

I've been having a bit of a rough time lately. It's the reason I've been absent from the blogger world, and unfortunately it's made me push my love away too. So this is for you Brady. I love you. Thanks for hanging in there with me without complaint. 



When I look into your eyes
It's like watching the night sky
Or a beautiful sunrise
Well there's so much they hold
And just like them old stars
I see that you've come so far
To be right where you are
How old is your soul?

I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up

And when you're needing your space
To do some navigating
I'll be here patiently waiting
To see what you find

'Cause even the stars they burn
Some even fall to the earth
We've got a lot to learn
God knows we're worth it
No, I won't give up

I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily
I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make
Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use the tools and gifts
We got yeah we got a lot at stake
And in the end, you're still my friend at least we didn't tend
For us to work we didn't break, we didn't burn
We had to learn, how to bend without the world caving in
I had to learn what I got, and what I'm not
And who I am

I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up
I'm still looking up

I won't give up on us
God knows I'm tough, he knows
We got a lot to learn
God knows we're worth it

I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up

<3
