SUMMER!If you have never spent an entire weekend watching the Lion King on an old VHS cassette, dancing to the soundtrack (purchased in 1994), discussing the plot, using play therapy to deal with the mature topics, and then reenacting the movie with dogs as "hy-nenas", then you just haven't lived. I like to think of it as a mini safari without the side effects of malaria pills. Plus, everyone in the house now sings in falsetto "When I was a young warthog...when he was a young warthoooog!!!!"
one of her hy-nenas, named Pito or sometimes Baby
Turtles love pretzelsWhat else? Oh, lets see: Gramsie was here on Thursday but then we kicked her out, Friday we picked up Jake from the airport and took our picnic lunch to the Como Zoo and later ordered Pizza Luce, Saturday we exercised, purchased lots of organic fruit, veggies, dairy, eggs, chicken and beef plus hosted a mostly vegetarian meal for Aunt Ellen, today Hol & Papa Michael visited before heading home, we went to Bloom and then out to lunch at Hoa Bien (awesome Vietnamese) with friends Joel & Rachael. How's that for a run on sentence?

first, please use the caption "twinsies" on all photos you post on the blog from now on. lovsies.
secondly, college BF is still around, and i have the hundreds of dollars of skype phone bills to prove it. he's studying in europe this summer and moving to NYC in the fall to do a year-long americorps program called city year. we're still together and playing the long distance thing by ear. i have a feeling i'll be flying out to NYC at least twice this fall to visit him.
thirdly, is it weird/creepy that i totally remember something being mentioned about you and jake being in a long-distance relationship at your wedding? i am so detail oriented, it creeps me out sometimes.
fourthly, love the organic purchases. i converted to organic last year while in DC, but now that i don't buy my own groceries anymore, i don't have organic food as much. my mom wants to go the farmers market though, so that's a good sign! local food tastes better anyway.
How old were you at my wedding, maybe 13? Yep, we made it 4.5 years long distance, before Skype and even cell phones. I want to hear more about this Americorps city guy!
DID EVERYBODY HEAR THAT? SHE KICKED HER OWN MOTHER OUT THE DOOR!! SHE WILL NOW AND FOREVER MORE BE THE BAD APPLE (FRUIT) OF MY LOINS!!!
Love, your mother.
Don't you mean she will forever be the bad "organic" fruit of your loins?! Hell...I was there on Friday and I didn't even get a footnote mention...
Love, Anonymous Aunt Jill
I love "pitos"
