This weekend was a little bizarre. First, our micro-climate went from essentially Brigadoon:
to this:
. . . in the course of one night. It’s embarrassing how quickly my bloodstream and mentality have reverted from Boston hardiness back to that of a SoCal infant. I appreciated that crazy fog in theory (a change of scenery!), but after I waited a few minutes and Gene Kelly did not come tap dancing out of it . . . pretty much done.
Twilight Zone Moment #2: I suggested going to Anthropologie (in the way that one suggests winning the lottery), and M was like, “Yes, let’s totally do that. Also, let’s go to IKEA again.” Someone in this household is undergoing a major apartment-decorating fever, and it is not me. (Am I along for the ride? Um, yes).
The end to the upside-down weekend was having some of our faves over for dinner. We see these guys all the time, there’s nothing weird about that. I mean, it could be a little strange when a couple of your best friends decide that they like, like each other. . . but it’s pretty much a great situation when you’re happy, they’re happy, and you don’t have to spend a whole bunch of time convincing a new person that seeing whether you could fit in as a sea creature is perfectly acceptable dinner table entertainment. Observe:
I can’t meet any new people: I have to spend that time working on my manatee impression.

no excuse not to use coasters when they look that boss
three things here.
1) we MUST be living parallel lives. Chicago is going through some CRAZY PANTS weather right now. yesterday we stayed inside all day per the ice storm outside and tomorrow it’s supposed to be 61 degrees out.
2) i’ve been thisclose to buying the Antro zinc letters for so long, but haven’t as of yet. How do you like them?
3) I own those coasters in the peacock blue and royal blue. The other day i was poking around (Anthro is in my office building – danger danger) and I saw that they are now making light green and pink ones. In spring you can bet your bottom dollar i’ll be circling back for those bad boys.
Nice picks, lady – as always
Haha, I love the unimind! The Anthro letters are fantastic. Super easy to hang and really cute. Every time we walk out the door, I’m like, “Look at our W!” and M is like, “Uh-huh…”
That looks like the weather in Sydney right now. Heat wave one day, torrential rains the next!
How nuts! Sydney’s next on my list of places I can’t wait to visit. Hopefully not during the torrential rains, though! Yuck.
