I'll be facing the same when we roll into Wisconsin, in a few days.
I flew back to Italy on tuesday from Houston. I wore a tshirt and flip-flops to the airport on account of the humid, very warm, though mildly rainy day - I wore boots, gloves, a scarf, hat and snow jacket on the drive home, on account of the three feet of snow on the ground.
I miss Texas.
Ooooh. I thought Sonic was everywhere. We ate there on the way to and from El Paso. Fun times!
Will do. So far we've been mostly concentrating our eating efforts at Sonics and Taco Buenos. We don't have many (almost none) Sonics in WI and no Taco Buenos. See? Another thing you Texans should add to your gratitude journal.
Ava was born with a folded ear. It literally look like someone was folding it in half. I said it was because I didn't bake her all the way. They're both beautiful and we can totally identify our kids in a lineup with their ears alone.
I'm still pissed your trip didn't bring you to Austin. But at least you're catching awesome weather. Also? They should give you reduced fairs when you have more than one kid. Guess we better get our fill before Allie turns 2.
Be sure to stop at Whataburger and Dairy Queen on your way home ;-)
Us northern chics have to watch out for each other.
I will have me some pie, I will.
The 'details' sound exciting.
I went to Texas in December and barely wore a jacket. Though our winter has been mild but not that mild. Have some pie while you're there. HAVE SOME PIE, I SAY!
I could never, EVER in life go down a slide like that because it'd scare me till I probably passed out, lodging myself in the tube.
I love the idea of the openness. Love it.
That is a smart kid.
HA! That picture made me think of Willy Wonka's Violet, but cuter, obviously.
So a few days after our "Christmas" celebration (December 10) I was struck down by the most fearsome flu/cold whatever it was, that I've ever had. I was laid out for a week and it lingered on for another two. Sounds very similar to Groenevelt-Everyone-Is-Going-To-Die-Virus-Of-Christmas-Twenty-Eleven. I'm glad I was able to share in the merriment. I suspect that santa and his helper elves had something to do with it.
P.S. Great blog!
because of that picture, there is now water and spit on my laptop.
Thanks. I'm going to go stand next to my mailbox now and wait for the package.
Sending you ear plugs and xanax...STAT!
So did you just drive your then-future-wife around for hours and hours, her feet shuffling lottery tickets around the floor mat? (Tell your wife you're a lucky man.)
Also, feel free to comment at length...takes the pressure off. #FreeContent
Smart kid.
Some 18 or 19 years ago, when my wife and I were first dating, I was basically addicted to the state-lottery scratch tickets ... and I would be ASTOUNDED when I scratched them and found I had NOT won the bazillion-dollar prize. The floor of my car was covered with the duds.
My now-wife would climb in the car, feet atop a pile of losing scratch tickets, and say, "Where are we going out to tonight?" and I'd say "Out? We can't go out. I don't have any money."
How I got her to stick around, I'll never know. But, thankfully, I stopped blowing money on the lottery in years and years ago.
In my defense: Throughout my entire childhood, my mother's family, through example, convinced me that winning the lottery was the key to financial freedom. And if they had instead saved and invested all the money they spent on the lottery, I wouldn't have to work anymore.
Thanks for letting me post an impromptu blog entry in your comments section. I'll stop now.
Beautiful photo!
they look so much alike when you pick apart their features yet so completely different when you look at their whole faces. How is that?
not so good at the small talk myself. I guess I only have koto things to talk about. I somewhat recently hosted a cocktail party. I tried to talk Koto and mono style. No one paid any attention. They were very involved in their small talk however. All kinds of talk about paving driveways, lazy husbands, and blah blah boring boring. Who needs small talk when we should be keeping our lips busy with our drinks anyway! Cheers! ;)
I'm not good at it either. I hate the awkward silence sometimes where you just smile & nod so I usually fill it with stupid stuff & end up talking forever out of nervousness
That's fine, then I'm taking you to the next cocktail party. Finally, the pressure is off!
I could lie to you and, say that I'm not good at small talk but, that would just be wrong.
The truth is, I excel at small talk...always have. I think it's genetic, my dad was the world's best small talker.
Sorry ladies, it is what it is!
NO! You are very, very sweet!
