Very pretty shelves, but they waste a lot of storage space.

meara is always so lovely I think. I've never seen your sister before. There is such a strong family resemblance!

And edamame is delicious. Plus Franny will eat it. Thank goodness she likes beans since she isn't very big on meats yet.

Heh. You should see my brother, Burrell--it's really quite frightening how alike we look.

Thanks for the compliments guys! :) I'm still SO amused by the whole Jared thing. Especially when we were all up in his hotel room drinking his booze. Half the reunion ended up in there, at least for a bit. I have to wonder if it was everything he'd hoped for!

Goodness, meara, you three must have made for the most adorable Christmas cards ever.

meara, I must have skipped and/or skimmed -- did you go to school with Jared?

Also, you + that dress = total retro hot HOT HOTTNESS.

It is my new love. I bought three bags of it at TJ's tonight.

Pre-shelled, or in the shells? For awhile TJs was carrying both, and then the pre-shelled disappeared for a while (I suspect a quality control issue, as I had a bag that was NASTINESS masquerading as edamame), and now it's back.

For the record, I bought, cooked, and ate the recently-back-at-TJs pre-shelled edamame, and I can attest that it is 100% NASTINESS-free.

Well, growing up we ALL wore glasses, so one of my friends saw our family photo and was like "OMG, you look like an ad for an optometrist!"

edit: yep, Teppy--I did go to school with Jared, but didn't know it until I went to reunion last night!

meara is indeed quite smashing! I love the outfit.

I actually cleaned in my condo today (my daughter made me.) The rug, she is vacuumed after being dusted with allergen reducing powder stuff. I hope it helps with the itchies and puffiness.

Still no relief, Sail?

Poor, Sail.

I had an allergy attack at the Tahoe house this morning. Something brought on by the central heating I think, which dried my sinuses to a triscuit like texture.

Cash, Emmett won't eat veggies at all, so I quit fighting it and push the fruit. We do a lot of smoothies.

Back from Tahoe. There's a lake and stuff. We played mini golf. We went to a Casino. We didn't go see Frank Sinatra Jr., though I was tempted. The ceremony was nice. I didn't get much sleep. Never could figure out how to turn on the shower, so washed in the tub.

Home is better.

On the way home we stopped in Sacramento and saw my best man and his girlfriend and their 10 month old daughter. Such a cutie pie and the anti-Emmett (at that age). She was very content to Not!Crawl and was totally mellow and easy to be with. She seemed to be on the verge of getting it on with the locomotion though.
