- The Boy and I met Hal Holbrook last night. He’s charming, witty and has lovely soft hands. I can’t wait to curl up with his autobiography.
- We’ve been watching Mad Men on Netflix. The costumes and sets are gorgeous, but the show is depressing. Hopeless, desperate, lonely people. After 20 episodes, we’ve given up. I guess I’m old enough to want some pleasant escapism in tv. Life can be difficult enough without having to experience it through entertainment media as well.
- I love Home Goods. After weeks of searching on line and in person for the perfect duvet cover, I found just what I wanted at Home Goods – and for less than $35.
- In one week, I went from winning Words With Friends games against my mom to being totally destroyed by her. She’s having a great time. Me? Hmmm…
- Fall/winter is on the way here in Texas. How do I know, with temps still in the upper 80s? Ben has stopped stalking my lap and snuggling with me at night in favor of his dad, The Boy.
- We taught friends how to play a Hayley Family game, Wahoo, last Friday night and learned an important lesson. The competitive person isn’t your greatest threat: the quiet contemplative player is.
- Even though The Boy’s first love, Old Glory (his classic pick-up) isn’t in the best of shape these days, she still has an undeniable appeal to other men. The Boy drove her to work yesterday and found a note asking if he’d be willing to sell stuck under her wiper blade. I knew when I married The boy that I was marrying Old Glory, too. Apparently, love for classic trucks is a near-universal male trait.
I think she wanted to let us feel great about ourselves for a week … :/ lol
