Another great adoption panel at LSS tonight with Tasha. Lots of good questions and conversation as well. We enjoyed huge Chipotle burritos afterwards, extra guac.

Jake got an iPhone

...and this is what he sent me this morning. So lucky.

Happy 21st Birthday Fluffy!

ferosh!

Another weekend bites the dust! It was a lazy, family-filled affair where not much got done other than Jake re-caulking the bathtub. Here's the highlights:

Thursday night we met up with life group friends for yummy chocolate cake and Jake sharing his life story...truly riveting, especially the parts after he met me! Hol came into town on Friday and we went out to lunch with Aunts Jill, Tracy & Wendy at Cafe Latte where an aunt may have gotten stuck in the back seat of our Pilot. On Saturday we had a BBQ at Tracy's For Sale home in Vadnais Heights where I met the ravishing Darlene Walsh with her boy toy, Papa Mick. Saturday night Jake & I had a real date... supper at Granite City and the movie Social Network. Today the Seltz fam came to town for Ellen's 21st birthday celebration at Brasa! Viva la fall!

I love that tramp!

I love you to the stampede! That was what Nori said to me, which of course is a Lion King reference. I love you to the Scar! I love you to the Simba! It's all very meaningful to me.

It's super annoying when living your life gets in the way of writing about it on the Internet. First off, it's fall and I'm not sure how I feel about it. I used to love fall and winter when I was younger, but now that I suffer from dual diagnosis of Snow Allergies and Sun Deprivation, it's kinda harder to take. Nonetheless, I am making the most of it what with baking homemade apply crisp, taking longs walks in the crispy leaves with the family, and not shaving my legs. Perhaps the hardest thing for me is the fall/winter fashions. Leggings? Skinny jeans? Sigh. When will this terrible trend pass? I know this makes me old, but skin tight pants do not flatter my pear-tasic body, nor my bulky cartoon character shoe options.

Dear Fashion Week,

Bring back carpenter pants or cargo pants or even flare leg. Please.

yours,

In the last week we caught up with Bloom friends Dawn & Rodney at Punch, I coordinated a huge (though not terribly well-attended) event at work, had Casey & Jaimie over for pork chops on the grill, played in the park with our friends Liam, Lo & Makenna after a pizza picnic, slept lots, and watched the Twin Cities marathon while eating donuts. Now, the moment you have been waiting for! I know what you are wondering..... wait for it........wait.....what will it be? Baked potato soup!

I leave you with a clip from our new favorite old movie (yes, we read books, too) Lady and the Tramp.
