So far so good, 2012
Chilly wind, but beautiful weather makes for good park days
which we are taking full advantage of
but i'm pretty sure these girls are too cool to be my children
a hipster on the left and a fashionista on the right
thankfully they haven't figured that out yet, so they still let us hang with them
Even let us have the pleasure of their company for lunch at Little Lucca
where I totally stuffed my face
Aidan ordered some Doritos, which she then asked to put in the freezer
because apparently, that's where junk food goes
Thank you Berenstain Bears
This year I'm finding myself obsessed with two things
this
and this
shocked? so was I.
not about Downton Abbey, I've always been a sucker for the Brits
Brit anything...music, movies, accents, fashion...the only thing they haven't won me on is the food
but i'm getting there
no, I was shocked about the book
I'm no reader
even Harry Potter, which I love, i didn't read
I listened to it,
but this...i'm reading...I'm reading a lot
In fact I'm done
started last Saturday, and five days later...

And after you're done being amazed
Go buy it

ReplyDeletewe adore downton abbey!
have yet to get to the hunger games...sounds good.
happy weekend!
It's raining today. Not snowing, thankfully.
ReplyDeleteOkay so I'm totally obsessed with Downton Abbey too and I can't wait for the Hunger Games movie. Totally with you on both of those.
ReplyDeleteIf it makes you feel better about the thank-you notes, we got all our thank yous written after our wedding (ten years ago almost!) and then couldn't afford stamps. So we NEVER sent but about 25 of them. And we go to church with a lot of them! SO embarrassing! We just verbally thanked them at church, but we live in the South, where official thank you notes are still a BIG deal.
Let me tell you, some mortifying conversations were had by several folks with us. What can you do but ask for grace? Now when I want to send a note, I try really hard to get it done, but generally I just say thank you and show my excitement in person when I see them.
carrie, hunger games? downton abbey?? how were we not friends sooner??!
