Geek in Heels - Page 66

Last year, I had an unfortunate accident which led to a herniated disc in my neck. I obviously could not take care of both girls by myself with the injury and its corresponding treatments; I ended up staying at my parents' in the suburbs for almost 2 months so that they and my sister could help me on my road to recovery. Once I recuperated I remember returning home to a cold, dark place that — for a lack of a better word — was a complete pigsty. J sheepishly confessed, "I didn't realize just how much work you do around the house until you were gone." I have been replaying that phrase over and over again in my head this past week....

Leslie & Ben’s Wedding Album

Mar 01. 2013

I couple of weeks ago, Leslie Knope and Ben Wyatt tied the knot in front of their closest and dearest…in addition to 3 million U.S. viewers. 🙂

If you haven’t watched the episode yet, go do it now — it’s available on Hulu free of charge! — and have some tissues handy, because I totally cried and know that many of my friends shed tears as well.

NBC recently released the official photos from Leslie & Ben’s wedding, shot just the way a regular wedding photographer might have, and they’re so stinkin’ adorable that my tooth aches just looking at them. (Well, my tooth aches because I’ll be getting a root canal later today, but it aches nonetheless.) Enjoy!

Sharing the Love: Fantasy, Action, and Kiddie Edition

Feb 27. 2013

Did I mention that J's currently away on vacation? He's back to his motherland — Hong Kong — and with travel time, he'll be away for TEN WHOLE DAYS. 8-O This is the longest we've been apart since we got married (even when I stayed at my parents' for 2 months last summer, we still saw each other at least a couple of times a week). And while I'm glad he's getting some much-deserved rest while catching up with old friends, things haven't been so peachy for me. Because as it often is the case in life, getting handed one lemon wasn't enough — people and circumstances have been hurling them at me left and right and all around. Needless to say, I'm very...
