Whatnot Wednesday

EveryDaytheWonderfulHappens


A Jack quote that I have made part of my daily vocabulary, "I love you like a honey bee makes lots and lots of honey."  Love is hard to explain sometimes and you know what I think he's on to something.

A Jack quote that I will never correct as long as he keeps it up:
Jack: I'm a bad guy and Chloe your a bad Chloe, we're bad Asians!
Mommy: (laughing), you're what?
J: bad Asians!
M: (crying laughing) you mean you are bad agents?
J: no, mommy, we are bad Asians!

Does anyone else wear aprons these days.  I have this apron my mother-in-law got me from Williams Sonoma and it is beautiful, so beautiful I actually considered planning my study around the colors in it.  But anyways I love to wear, it's very flattering, and I usually only need to wear it when I'm wearing nice clothes and don't want to get food/cleaning stuff on them.  So when I put it on I feel like I just traveled back to the 50's, with my heels, and dress, with my apron on top.  The problem is I think I'm the only one out there wearing an aprom and feel weird so I always take it off if I need to answer the door, or see someone.

I had a salted carmel mocha (or latte I can't remember) at Starbucks yesterday.  Our weather finally cooled off, it was in the 60's and chilly!  I just couldn't allow myself to go home, so I headed to Target, because I'm in love with Target (I know who isn't?)  While I was there I passed by the Starbucks and they had their big chalkboard with the fall flavors that they offer this time of year.  They are advertising geniuses, there was something about it that made me feel like it was a requirement of a real fall day to order up on of these hot drinks.  The verdict: a little too salted and too much carmel for my taste.

Kyle said to me the other day, "I think I'm ready for an iphone."  Stranger words have never been spoken.  Don't get too excited though, Kyle is known for moving slowly on purchases like this.  Plus I think I'm over it, I told him that I think one would be great for him but I'll just stick with the normal phone.  Although the next day after I said that to him, I decided that it was the dumbest thing I've ever said, so we'll see.

Jack goes to speech therapy two times a week and his therapist is a wonderful lady, I adore her.  The other day she came out into the waiting room and was going over what they worked on that day and as she was looking at me and talking to me, my nose decided to, all the sudden out of nowhere, run down my face.  I swear I didn't feel it coming, one minute I was a normal person, the next minute I turned red and started wiping my nose with my hand and sniffing like a maniac.  She was nice enough to look away and pretend like she somehow didn't notice.

I have an apron!! It was actually one of my Gramma's, but I love it - for the same reason as you - the colours/pattern is beautiful. I don't wear it as often as I should, but every time I wear it, I think, "I should wear this more often!"

I also have to agree with your salted caramel review. I had one on Monday and wasn't overly impressed.

It took about a year for us to decide on iPhones. Sounds like my husband is a bit like yours.

Thanks for the link to your blog!! Looking forward to getting to know you!!

could it be??? could you be getting {gasp!!!} a modern phone?? I won't hold my breath!

I love the snotty nose thing. Wouldn't it, of course, wait to do that for such and inopportune moment!!

Yeah, I tried the salted caramel mocha too. I thought it was too chocolate-y. My favorite is the pumpkin spice latte and peppermint hot chocolate. DIVINE!!!!

You sure make me miss you! FYI, you also _almost_ convince me that camping is worthwhile. :) Must call soon....whoever gets the quiet moment first.
