GAL Pals

I'm just so excited that my sissy's and bff have such fun weekend plans!

Shoutout to:

1. That Ginna Girl, who is visiting JeffiePooh Fefferson in Boone! Drive safe, Gin. Go to Mtn House, the Parkway, the Outlets and especially to Welborn for fried okra/corn nuggets. I know you will.















2. Alpacs, who is flying to see her beau, her fiance Brian, aka B-Dawg. Have fun, Al. And hope you're showered with more bamboo cutting boards, crock pots and as many casserole dishes as your heart desires. Oh, for dinner, my bet is quiche or steak. Text me and let me know which one it is ;).















3. Lucy Goose, who is running in the Myrtle Beach Half Marathon. You go, girl! I'm so proud of you! Wish I could be there to cheer you on!

Today: Living in NY > Living in NC

I can't take it anymore! I'm done w/ this day. The day after Duke gets creamed by UNC and everyone rubs it in.

I've been gracious. Hats off to the Tarheels for their win. Job well done, way to go. You were the better team last night.

I get it. Don't dish it if you can't take it. I've dished it so I'm taking it. But at least I'm in New York where the rivalry isn't as intense. But let's just say that for one, almost two months out of the year, it's really hard to be friends w/intense Carolina fans.

That's all I'm going to say.

That and March 8th is coming.

Oh and I'll leave you with a lighthearted picture from last year with one of my favorite Carolina friends, Mirabelle.

Game Day

And the rivalry continues...

This is what happens when you travel as a nanny w/ the family. When you leave the bitter cold of New York and head West to a resort. When you are on vacation. And especially when the parents and nanny have margaritas at dinner.

With all that, it's somehow ok to let them go crazy. Or perhaps it's just being creative in how to get the boys to sit still or to eat their food while we discussed facials and golfing. We were creative here. No need to stop the child from using a toy as a utensil. We didn't know anyone at the resort. The boys had already made their mark on the room, overfed the fat fish and smeared ketchup into the nice, white linen tablecloths on numerous occassions... why not cause a scene at dinner? Needless to say, it was a memorable night.

How are you feeling today?

Well, I have just figured out how to post video's on this blog. Here is the first of probably many video's.

I was going through old pics of the boys and came across this adorable video. It was taken at a birthday party a few weeks before I moved to NYC. Clearly Alec wants to go and play but I just had to get a video of him doing this cause it was just so darn cute. My favorite is 'thoughtful'.

Sweet!

Tonight a few friends and I got together for Meat Sauce Monday's. We met at my friend Em's apt and made a ton of pasta, homemade sauce, salad and bread. And my Southern friends Rob & Bradley made a fruit tea/sweet tea. It was amazing. I sipped it all night and loved it. Perhaps it was drinking fruit tea before my birthday/Spring weather and it's just been a long while. These things make me happy.

This is such a cute website and I am dying to have a print of this Manhattan poster. I emailed the company and they said it's been backordered but will be in print again soon and available later this month. But isn't it sweet?
