elf?

Do you know any elves? 

Mine is 6'5". 

Weird, I know. 

Seriously though... Check out these goofy socks!

They were made to treat planar fasciitis, an issue that people have in their feet or something. 

But Ladson doesn't have that issue. 

He has REALLY TIGHT ACHILLES tendons. 

So he's trying to wear these to loosen it up:

So HOTT right now.

 

But I don't think it works for the achilles. 

They need to make one with a firmer foot. 

All this does is make my husband an elf!

this marriage

sometimes i wonder if i'm old enough to be married








then we go do something fun

like this weekend, our trip to Tarara Winery

We wanted to go for a bike ride out in Leesburg. Maybe along the Potomac? Over White's Ferry??

So we got up bright and early! about 10:30 am, and had some breakfast, and then Ladson had to have an EMERGENCY haircut. And then I had to have an emotional breakdown (see my post on tears), and in that amazingly on schedule manner, we packed up the pathfinder, and headed North with bicycles, helmets, bike shoes, and manchego.

We stopped at a farm stand and picked up squash, and peaches, corn and kettle corn. The produce will be addressed later this week, but the popcorn, that was open when we got in the car.

We all know that only adults go wine tasting.




And we are experts at that (being adults).

Actually, Ladson, since getting married and therefore becoming incredibly grown-up, has found the perfect match: white wine & kettle corn.

this was taken by me, with my point and shoot, very artsy, i know ;)

I think that the couple next to us, who had just celebrated their 30th Wedding anniversary, was very impressed with this pair.

So, I guess my point is, maybe I'm old enough for this marriage.

and we never did go biking. but it was a beautiful afternoon getaway.

top 10 wedding gifts

My company posted some cubicles on craigslist. This is one of the responses I received:

I am really serious and willing to buy this item but i am presently on a tour and will be spending about 3 weeks. I want to get the item for my cousin's wedding as a surprise gift as i would not be available on the day of the occasion.

First off, he's on tour??? I wonder if he is a famous artist with a pseudonym. Do famous people shop on craigslist??

But of more interest... What a present...

"Surprise! Happy Wedding! I bought you the cubicles you registered for, they will go great in your new home with the carpet you picked out..."
hahahaha

happy

hello faithful followers!

so i just wanted to share that my Dutch aunt just sent me vintage cocktail dresses from Luxembourg.
They're soooo cool and I will put up pics soon.

Saw my parents again today and they gave me flowers (what did i say about flowers?!?!)

Also, I made whey, cream cheese, yogurt, butter and buttermilk today.

So yes. dresses + love + flowers + happy dairy products = happy X

But the greatest of these is LOVE!

hoping to make my midnight bed time ;)
