sweet tea and mint tea and sweeties

sipping
McDonald's sweet tea which reminds me of our beautiful trip through the southern states this Summer.  yeah, i pretty much love everywhere EXCEPT California... and Illinois for OBVIOUS reasons.  and i'm not too fond of Washington either ;)  and i've never been there, but i'm pretty sure i'd hate Alaska on principle (if it's even only 1% like Sarah Palin i hate it already.  and it's dark like all day long - that would SUUUUCK)  but the other 46 states, i love :)

feeling
spendy - we bought a house today.  it's a good thing :)  i love it, i didn't want to leave and come back to this cruddy old house with it's scuffed baseboards and un-seamless sink and non-functioning garage door.  but we're going back HOME first thing in the morning!!

baking
Trader Joe's pizza.  it smells quite charred and wonderful :)

missing 
New York and longing for another trip back there... it was soooo much fun :)  and delicious too :)

loving
Sam's new school - omg the lunch menu sounds soooo good i want to go for lunch :)  and they have breakfast too.... they didn't have school lunches made of food in my day ;)

loving
Jo Malone English Pear and Freesia.  i love perfumes and how they are able to take me back to a time and place.. meeting Aaron = Issey Miyake... Sam = Chanel Cristalle... Danny = DKNY Cashmere Mist... England = Jo Malone nutmeg and ginger... leaving CA = Jo Malone Fresh Mint Leaf... the new house: English Pear and Freesia :)

 sweet sleepy love pup

 

 

house # 4

reading all the manuals - omg they even left care sheets for the plants :)  

 another thing to love about the new house - there's a Panda Express up the street - he's happy:)

 

i miss wide open spaces... do we HAVE to buy furniture...?

 

 

 the sole contents of our new fridge :)  we HAVE to buy food :)

 he was waiting to watch the schoolbus show up... a bunch of smiling waving little boys

jumped off and started playing soccer in the cul-de-sac.....

 i think it's all going to be alright :)
