P.S.

This is what I've had to type around for the past hour:

Wii Night - yeah, that's how we roll...

We skied icy slopes, we jumped from the highest heights, we took a few panda heads to the face, and we hula hooped like a bunch of banshees. We were amazed with each others sporting abilities. Our impressive skillz (that's right, with a z) are documented below:

Well, almost all of us were impressed:

But I don't wanna go to the zoo...

Hello my cuddly eskimo!

I thought I'd put some pictures up from our day at the zoo - thought you might like to see some smiling faces right about now.

I love you...

One Night In Austin

Michael and I went to Austin to see the Baronsmen re-enact Shakespeare's classic "Taming of the Shrew." It was a beautiful, crisp Fall night and the setting couldn't have been any more realistic. Except for the snack table of pre-packaged goodies (read: cotton candy!) and availability of cold soft drinks, it felt like we were in jolly old England!

Here are a few shots of the Curtain Theatre and the play itself:

The next day, we were off to a neighborhood coffee joint - where else would we be on a Sunday morning? There, we were privy to a conversation between a worldly homosexual man and his blind date - a recently divorced, recently "out," father of two. Ah, Austin!!

We also were lucky to find some local art work right next to the counter where we placed our drink orders:

Jamie and Cam (the newly engaged J and C!) joined us for a cup o' joe at Genuine Joe's:





All in all, it was a wonderful trip. Another "strange" hotel room, another "new favorite" store (Zinger's!), and another pocketful of memories.

Stay Classy San Diego!!

We'll miss you...

Fun Weekends!!

Thank you sweetheart for my wonderfully active and funfunfun weekends - avec et sans les enfants.

I'll miss you this evening, but I'm looking forward to this week!

Baisers heureux,
Carrie

Getting in Shape

Ok, so I'm tired of loathing my body and have decided to do something about it. I've ordered a book that I know has helped a few of my friends not only lose weight, but improve their physical abilities. I shall use this blog to post my achievements (and yes, even failures...though I'm not fixated on failing, mind you) as a form of motivation. What? Potential humiliation is so totally motivational.

Chinese Menus

Why do I find these so funny?? Is it just me?

Seriously, check out the image below:



Who wants to join me for some House Special Fried Rice? Mmmm mmm - think we could ask them to substitute the "mix vegetables" for an extra helping of "invitation corab?" That sounds - in the words of my boyfriend - damn delicious!!
