eating
cinnamon raisin bagel chips - yes, same snack/different day.  they're sooooo crunchy, i'm getting a headache/jawache :|  but does it stop me?  not for a second ;)

listening
to Taylor Swift - who i now want to be when i grow up, if i don't make it as a Rockette.  fun-ish fact:  i always thought Taylor Swift was on American Idol.... but today i realized that was actually Taylor Hicks, the man with the grey hair ;) 

hating
people who get all eye-rolling over the (ab)use of the word 'literally'.  it's literally the lamest thing ever.  but honestly it must be awesome to be so clever and superior ;)

also hating
that Romeo expects me to share my cinnamon raisin bagel chips with him which means also sharing with Blackjack - aren't raisins poisonous for dogs?  because if not, they should be, i hate sharing my treats :|

loving
that ACI actually mailed my christmas cards already - gasp!  two day delivery actually taking two days?????  in what world does everything go right....?   of course there will probably be a glaring spelling error or a horribly cropped picture or they will be too dark or too light - hoping a little Cape Cod magic rubs off on them ;) 

loving
the outlet stores up the 495 (luckily just far enough up the 495 that i can't go every single day because that would be bad...)  they have every single store you can think of (except Garnet Hill) and there is even a Friendly's (which i'm telling myself is east coast Ruby's... it's just like Ruby's, right...?)

wondering
after spending one minute in the Ugg Store... who buys those hideous shoes?  and why?????  and they cost how much???!!  $199 to have huge snuffalupagus woolly mammoth feet :|  also: the smell in the Crocs store - oh my gawd, i almost died... it was like the Costco tire center times a billion (which i'd just barely survived by putting my nose inside my hoodie)

wishing
i'd found that Hanna Andersson outlet about 12 years ago :|  seriously why?????  why did i find that now my boys are no longer little dress-up-able pixies :(

needing
to send freaking fracking graham crackers or wheat thins into school for Danny's birthday treat with his classmates because it's a nutfree classroom :|  in what messed-up mind is a graham cracker a treat???????  no chocolate is allowed :| 

a little tour of the area... all snapped while driving so excuse the blurriness and please don't tell the police, who i am pretty sure wouldn't mind anyway, because they're all soooo nice and Irish and i'm almost all tall as most of them so how could they arrest me ;)

rush hour in paradise

oh Costco how could i say no to this deal??!  $79 ;)
(i wasn't driving in Costco)

random little sort of snowy house to email to the realtor with the subject:
find me a cute house like THIS!

 it's just adorable here (the churches sell Christmas trees and cranberry wreaths!)

back to Cape Cod

 still... every single time i pass the sign ;)
 
and the dock too :)

 the library (it's just sooooo beyond pretty here)

heavenly afternoon light

 Silver Beach

 my baby's home :)
