1. My friend KC got some VERY exciting news today but I don’t know if I’m allowed to talk about it on the airwaves as my blog is very famous and the information might get into the hands of someone we don’t want it to. It involves her career and is so exciting I had to call her and giggle on the phone for five minutes. I AM SO PROUD OF YOU K.

2. It’s Friday, which means tomorrow is Saturday, full of soccer and two birthday parties and a Valentine’s cooking class on Sunday. I cannot wait.

3. This photo of Corelyn and I from our shoot on the beach. Mary and I talked about this last night and how someone Googled a recipe and this came up and they recognized the photograph as Mary’s and it just made me happy that it all comes around and that we’re starting to influence each other’s professional careers!

4. Listening to “The Head and the Heart” Pandora, downloading new albums by Jonah Smith and Newton Faulkner, and the head-bopping beats of Needtobreathe.

5. Everlasting sunshine, 71 degree weather, and California.

Happy Friday, chickadees!!!

the red cup, and other holiday signs.

I believe I saw a red cup this morning.

You know how I feel about red cups.  Right, you know about my feelings towards them? Three years running?

At least today it’s only 73 degrees, not the 80 it has been the past few years on the day I discovered the red cup.

Picture to come, when I actually visit Starbucks and see if it’s true.

Meanwhile, some other things:

1. Corelyn is coming to Los Angeles for Thanksgiving. I will be posting more in depth about this on GMS, but I wanted you to know.

I haven’t seen this girl since May, and I am so excited to have her around for three days!!!

2. Thanksgiving is coming, and we’re getting our menu ready. New kind of turkey, new venue, and new friends. What could be better?

3. Hello, it’s NOVEMBER? What? I can’t believe it. Also: my office is participating in Movember, as is Jeff. Pictures to come.

4. The Head and the Heart.

5. It’s 11:11 on 11/1/11.

5gts, rolling into a weekend:

This photo reminds me of: fall, friends, Corelyn, the Pioneer Woman, and happiness. And how my photography used to be so.much.worse. Oh well, I move on.

1. Tonight I am getting my hair cut.

2. Tomorrow, I head to a drive in theater after making a delicious cake with Rebecca, after going to soccer to see my babies.

3. “Movin’ to October” Pandora is on, boasting Paul Simon, and James Taylor, and Josh Kelley, and Adele.

4. Zucchini bread for breakfast, Pasta fagioli for lunch, and a cake this afternoon = best Friday.

5. This post which was a year ago yesterday.

You can barely tell it is black and that I have a bruised nail. I do disguise well. I am coyote. (By the way, have you ever seen that Fresh Ink card? Anyways…)

Anyways, here are five good things for the weekend:

1. I am headed to CT on the red eye tonight. 8:46, here we go.

2. Tomorrow is my sister’s CT shower, which will involve delicious food and so much laughter.

3. I have a book and two NatGeo’s waiting for me once this day is up.

4. Sappy, but I get to see Jeff tomorrow for the first time since last Thursday. It’s been a long week and a half!

5. Painting my nails black? Best idea ever.
