1. took the kids on their first marta train ride.
2. mentally rearranged my book shelves-- first in order of subject, then in order of color.
3. while at The Mall, wandered into the mob scene that was urban outfitters and as the kids scaled waist-high piles of shag rugs, managed to drool over this. and this. and this. which led to the dropping of mad hints to the one I call dearsweetadoringlovelyandamazing husband. and then wondered where these shoes were because I wanted to try them on for the 17th time already. really, they're just a winterized version of a pair I already own. still, I heart them. also, wondered why urban feels the need to be the new spencer's gifts. it's really gross. really.
4. burnt the pizza (again).
5. laid on the couch with ward and discussed photography, christmas cards, ezra's erratic sleeping habits, future life endeavors and ava's current my little pony obsession.
6. wondered what a cotton candy stand was doing in the middle of the walmart parking lot in december. there it sat, in a sea of SUVS and frenzied shoppers, like a beacon of hope. like it had just dropped from the great carnival in the sky.
7. stood in front of the refrigerator in the middle of the night and ate mandarin oranges straight out of the can.
how about you?
girl, I can hardly wait for next friday... yes, that is what I did and I pulled in two others with me. Just WAIT. the up coming set rocks.
ReplyDeleteI suppose if you are going to shop at WalMart you might as well be on a sugar high and corn dog full stomach, right?
i had a fun-filled weekend my friend, let me tell you. and now i'm going to copy your christmas wish list because i must have both of those cameras. i have a holga that i haven't used in years, just found the little instruction manual the other day and thought i should pull it out....hmmm. my girl had cotton candy at a birthday party in brooklyn and still smelled of it when she came home. xoxo!!
