Chris is working from home during the quarantine and everything about it is perfect
except
I bought a family size bag of salt & vinegar chips and I can’t eat them in the way I want to (fast & by-the-handful) because he’ll see me and how not-cute I can get
I’m 29 but how old is too old to wear my high school field hockey team t shirt? (it still fits well) the answer is: when my face/body looks old enough to not be in high school anymore. People still believe I might be
I just rolled down the entire hallway of the dorms at Olympic Training Center (with all my male coaches staying in the rooms) in my pajama shirt & underwear to get to the bathroom. What in the actual world is wrong with me.
Try to say “A Million Suns” 10 times fast. (then go to my website and pre-order a copy) www.kristinbeale.com
On days where I stay inside and write all day, I don’t put on pants until minutes MINUTES before Chris comes home (~4:30pm). Whereas if I lived alone, I just wouldn’t get dressed all day. More benefits of living with that beautiful creature
(There are no cons. I still straighten my hair before bed but that’s okay)
Tonight I gave Chris his wedding present early (his own head for my water pik) because I was too excited and couldn’t wait. Then I was bummed because I don’t have a present for him on our wedding night anymore but then I remembered hahahaha my virginity
Valentines Day dinner! at our favorite place. He didn’t take his winter coat off the whole time (but it’s so cold here)
Chris said he knows I’m drunk because my CHEEKS get red and I start BOUNCING, so I can’t hide it
Book title announcement. Preorders open on February 21 at 11am! www.kristinbeale.com (but i’ll post about it again you know I will)
𝗕𝗜𝗚 𝗔𝗡𝗡𝗢𝗨𝗡𝗖𝗘𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧: A new book coming out this year! If you liked Greater Things (you did), 𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐥𝐥 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐧𝐞. If you haven’t read Greater Things yet, I’m selling them for $𝟓 𝐨𝐟𝐟 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 until this book’s release. (buy it on 𝐰𝐰𝐰.𝐤𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐞.𝐜𝐨𝐦)
I love some pictures so much that I stare at them, just STARE at them. These are my favorite people on earth and I can’t believe I’m losing one of them (she’s just moving away, not dying.) (also because I haven’t posted a picture in a while. reminder how big my smile is these days)
Chris and I read the manual for my dishwasher (derr) because he claims none of the dishes were getting clean. EXCITING NEWS it said “liquid detergent doesn’t work” and I’ve been using liquid for the past 3 years. The exciting part is that we switched to powder and things are cleaner now, but that also means me and my dinner guests have been eating off dirty dishes for 3 years. very cute
another discovery: I’ve been putting my clothes detergent in the wrong spot, too, so I haven’t worn a clean piece of clothing or eaten off a clean dish for three years. Thank God for his able body and also my immune system
we added another camera in our house + I gave Chris access to the camera I already had, so now he has opportunity to turn it on and watch me while he’s at work. (it’s so fun) but I can literally never look ugly anymore.
today I look like a SCIENTIST and he caught me on camera so, on the flip side, I can look however I want as long as I don’t care (I don’t). this is a fun game
Whenever I call Achilles a “lip licker” so BOLTS away from me. It’s like I’m stirring up past trauma
The most fun thing right now is (since it’s casual conversation that we’re getting married) to add/remove people from our wedding invitation/wedding party lists. Like “Should we still invite him to the wedding?” and “NOPE.” I’m thirsty for this power (THIRSTY)
