i’ve always wished i could drink gin & tonics
they just look so refreshing
the fizz
the cool scent that has just enough pinge to hit the inside of your nose (is pinge a word? it sounded like it should work here)
they look like they’re longing for a few slices of cucumber
oh but the taste of gin. i just can’t do it.
maybe i’ll try drinking just tonic water. ...
i began feeling old years ago
i’ll never forget sitting in the theater to watch “Sweet Home Alabama” when it came out
and suddenly, from the row behind me, i heard 2 girls whisper to each other “is that Martha Stewart?” “yah, i think it is”
i wanted to turn around and snap “that’s MURPHY BROWN you twits!”
but i didn’t. instead i rolled my eyes. slunk down...

tears. real actual honest to God tears from even one person (besides me) watching our wedding video made it worth the months and months of waiting and every single penny we shelled out for that work of art.

but in an effort to dry my tears and cheer myself up i returned some items last night and added some more in the process.
i picked up a few (On The Go size) these things to make me...

BabyDoc visit
* i actually wrote this the other day after i got home but my call with my boss kinda burst my i-m-so-excited-and-i-just-can’t-hide-it bubble *
visiting my Dr. to talk about having future babies was all together the most exciting and scariest visit ever.

hi guys, i need a new dishwasher!
i was planning on ultimately replacing all my white appliances with stainless steel, and i wanted to do it all at once so my kitchen wasn’t all mis-matched… but then i thought about how much that would cost to do it all at once and it gave me a fit
also, my…
i LOVE our stainless steel Bosch.
it’s SO QUIET you don’t even know when...
“really? c’mon, what does a 14 year old need with an iPhone?!”

and i totally need a filter on my mouth.
