Do you officially have a problem if you hoard all the household change to put in the coinstar machine for i-tune certificates? I didn't think so. I'll just keep calling it being frugal.

What an adorable picture! Sounds like you have had a full and really fun weekend. Wish I could have joined you. I've been ready to try one of the famous pumpkin spice lattes--dammit, I was just by a Starbucks today; forgot all about it! Ended up getting a mocha latte instead. Gives me an excuse to go back to Christiansburg soon.(about 30 minutes away, is all) I do love looking through your recipes. I need to try and get my own favorites posted soon as well. Love you sis...

Parenthetical women do not camp out.

Lovely boys, almost as lovely as mine;)

I remember thinking, "oh they've put a box of tissues, that's nice" the first time I met Christian's psychiatrist. Little did I know.....

I'm still waiting for a Starbucks to open in La Rochelle so I can test out all of these coffees

ANJI: your comments have been cracking me up!

vicki: what is this coinstar thing of which you speak??!!

This is such a beautiful, classic post. I laughed, I cried, I'll come back for more!!

Please let the darling Matt know that I am incredibly touched that he had the foresight and sweetness to burn those cd's before they were pawned. That is one of the most loving things I've heard of in some time. Cd's are just things to some people, yet to others they are a connection to something they need and crave. Yes, I live with an L-Z addict too. I think she might be Jax's soul sister. They have a scary amount in common.

I have customers in Kalispell. Shall I connect them to see if they'll bring you lattes each morning?

ROFLMAO. You write like you think which is an amazing gift if you ask me. You write like you are using both your inside and outside voice.

If that makes any sense.

Shit...I need a pumpkin spice latte now.

Or, you can choose Starbucks certificates. We don't have a Starbucks. My machine is at Kroger...you schlep in your loose change, drop it in the machine and you get back a gift card. It's magic!!!!!!

That is a great picture. They're so adorable & what a cute dog. I am a freak about taking pictures of my kids-a few weeks ago a friend e mailed me she was saving pics and had about 550 of mine...so glad your son is doing well!
