Bon soir mon amis---
Everyone's day was good, I hope??
Mine was very nice, I must admit. I met my sister and my 7mo old nephew and we went to lunch at a place called the Chocolate Cafe. We sat outside because it was a beautiful day. We both had salad and quiche. The salad had a champagne vinagarette that was to die for!!! It was just lovely. The quiche was good, but I have made better. (
SSHHH) They serve it with a fortune cookie that has been dipped in chocolate. The place was darling!!! Right up my alley. If I had a choice in careers, I would love to own a little cafe like this!! We then ran errands and went back to their house to wait for the other two to get home from school. It is so cute--my 7mo. old nephew is at that age where he "pulls you in" for one of the wet kisses. He also pinches wherever he can reach. OUCH
Anyway, it was wierd to pull up to my sister's house and see the For Sale sign. She told me the other day my nephew (5) took it out of the ground and hid it.
I know this sounds a bit, oh how would you say, bratty, but coming from him it is just funny and sweet because he is very mild mannered and very sensitive.
Does anyone ever watch Everyday Italian on the Food Network?? I know we have talked about it before, but not sure if anyone watches her. Anyway, Giada was making TOASTED RAVIOLI today. I was just telling DznyFan that she must try them when she comes to St. Louis. Giada even gave credit where credit is due to St. Louis!!!!
Lyzzie---Tell your mom to not worry about her job. I am sure she is very well liked and appreciated and does her job like nobodies' business. She deserves to take a nice vacation and spend time with her family. When she gets back, I am sure her boss will be so happy and welcome her with open arms. I know it is way too easy to be paranoid, but no worries, I'm sure. Tell Emma hi too and that the potty is not a pool for her binky. Luv, Auntie Pin-cess.
Linda---11 pics--from the professional?? YIKES. I wouldn't want to be there when the bride finds out. Hopefully your friend got some good shots.
Pozey--glad you had a good visit with your brother. Are you happy he is moving back to your town?? Is this where you all are from?? Wow, he has travelled, hasn't he??
Oh, your poor little baby!!!! When I saw your first pic, I thought "oh, at least she's smiling"----then I saw the second.
She deserves lot and lots of hugs for this one!!
She is beautiful, even with her bummed arm!!! The orthopedic will probably put a perm. cast on?? Uuuuh--more hugs for Courtney.
DznyFan--did you see my Giada story above??
My uncle is quiet the hunter as well, but I've never had llama and especially don't want to now!! He hunted in Canada, I believe and now has a stuffed black bear in his living room. He keeps asking me when I'm going to come over and see it and I keep putting him off. Not so much in a rush to do this. Thanks, but no thanks. I do hate to admit, though, that I do like venison and bison.
Ashley--sorry your weekend went by too quickly--it's because you were running around shopping. Just think, though, it is one step closer to WDW.
About your designs--I'm wondering if they can put a different border around that castle/duckies print, since you don't really care for the "frame". I just think that picture is darling.
Nicole--Did you see The Devil Wears Prada??? Talk about great fashion!!! I really had no desire to see it but I went anyway and fell in love with the clothes, shoes, bags--well, you get it.
YAY FOR ME TAGS!!!!! Have you used this service before?? I did last Feb. and really liked it. Nice, plush busses and you get to watch a video on the ride so it goes quickly and you really get in the mood for the WDW magic!! We are renting a car this upcoming trip, however but I would definitely use ME again. Can you believe it is coming up so soon??
Pr. Pix---Good luck on your loan. I cannot believe how high some of the rates can get.
That's wierd that you mentioned French--see my greeting. I took three years in high school, which was embarrassingly 20 yrs. ago. Last spring I took a refresher course through a local community college. It was just okay. I would love to go on with it but timing is the issue. A co-worker is learning Italian through "unforgettable languages.com" and is really liking it. They learn tons and tons of nouns but not very many verbs, she said. It seems like a good company, though. They give easy ways to remember things. I am thinking about picking this up for French, as well. Lyzziesmom and I are going to France, you want to join??
Donna--anything you would like to prepare--you know we a greatly appreciative!!! insert hungry smilie right here.
April--just wanted to say that I heard "Dancing Queen" yesterday and TOTALLY thought of you!!!!
YM--what's up girlie???? Call me.
Hi to everyone else in our not a clique.
p.s. Is it just my eyes, or are the smilies changing locations?? I go to click on one and think---that one was over there the other day. Am I losing it?? You can be honest.
Also, she met a man at a cafe who was with his dog, a dachschund. We also had a doxie at the time, so Mom tried to strike up a conversation with him. Problem: he was German. Mom couldn't figure out why he kept telling her his dog was a car. Turns out the dog's name was Otto!
