Gorgeouses, I have a COLD. Achew! Sniffle, sniffle. ACHEW! COUUUUGH. Yeah, it’s that bad. Mostly COUUUGH! Suckage.
Anyway, I’m TELLING you this because I feel too carpy to write much, and there’s SO much to tell. SO, I’m just going to tell it all in pictures and hope it teaches and delights (as my man Philip Sidney, LOVE, used to say GREAT LITERATURE should do).
Check it….
First thing’s first. I know you’re all wondering what picture I have on my pinkberry wallpaper…. Here it is:

MIIIIIINNNNDEN!!!!! Do you LOVE it?
Next. Bar Mitzvah. We went to my cousin’s Bar Mitzvah party at an exTREMEly chichi restaurant in Chichi-ville. This time, of course, I was NOT wearing Lululemons. No. I was wearing aiight black dress pants and these GORJ new not-leather ankle boots….

EVERYONE loved them. Thought they were leather. Couldn’t believe (read: SHOCKED) that I went out and bought them. AND, I have to say, for the ONLY not-leather shoes in the store, I think they’re pretty good! They looked HOTT. I felt great in them.
NEXT. It’sgrandma. Sloshed at the Bar Mitzvah…. Here she comes (HIDE)!

HELLOOO IT’SGRANDMA! LOVE LOVE LOVE!

Yes, it’sgrandma WON those glasses and the boa. I won a boa, too, but I gave it to papa’shere (my dad) because I don’t do feathers (vegan much). Everyone tried to convince me that the feathers were synthetic, but I DON’T THINK SO! Anyway, I ended up doing much better than the boa: I won THREE $5 STARBUCKS CARDS! Sweeet! Awesome time….
I also scored this toque for the Monkey (who was at home — BLISS — with a babysitter)! Sorry for the poor quality. Drunkage + pinkberry camera = fuzzy pic.

CLOSER!

STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE! Do you LOVE it!?
And, then there’s the question of my bloodshot eyes…. And, your answer:

Ahh…. Amaretto Sour, just like my grandfather tried used to make them. Yum. LUSH. And, what do you know, GIN does not make my tooth hurt (only wine does — how weird is that?).
The hat, of course, looks much better on the monkey….

…who got her NAILS DID with it’sgrandma today….

I had to scrape the polish off her thumbs because, well, you know….

She’s such a big girl now — with her nail polish…. Look at her cooking dinner with me (ahem)….

[SEGUE TO BE DETERMINED....]
OVERALLS!!!

And, now, I blow my nose, give cats some cookies, maybe read a paragraph or two from one of the books I’m reading — if burning eyes permit — and then SLEEEEEEP.
Hope you had a good weekend! I’d love it if you’d tell me a WEE bit about it in the comments? Whad’ya do whad’ya do??? Love….
xo Haley-O

Love, LOVE, love the boots, I got a pair of riding boots at Winners a few weeks ago – non-leather as well.
Did you stop in at Whole Foods while in Chichi Ville? Oh it’s been so long, I’ll have to make a trip to Oakville at least.
Your Gram is one cool cookie.
Feel better soon.
P.S. Love the Minden.

Love the boots and Minden and all the other photos.
My weekend was too busy. Saturday morning got my hair cut, went shopping (bought shoes! photos on my blog), came home, made yellow & green curries for a Thai potluck…Went out to potluck…Had a blast, but had to drag Husband outta there at 12:30 – he was still going strong, I was ready to collapse. Yesterday cleaning and cooking and cleaning and cooking…Almost glad to be back to work, weekends really wear me out these days.

Looks like a fab weekend!
Your mom is too cute!
And the pic of Minden is too much! How can they sit like that? Morgan and Byron do that a lot too.
I’ve been sneezing like crazy the last couple of days. I hope you didn’t give me what you’ve got!

Baked two different quiche for my husband and his co-worker’s… tended to runny noses…
The monkey has gorgeous eyes!

I don’t know who was trying to pull one over on you with the synthetic bird feathers…they don’t need to make fake feathers as there are plenty of chickens who “donate” them when they are going to be KFC.
Yay for your Vegan self for turning them down.
Looks like a fun party…although I didn’t realize there was so much booze at a Bar Mitzvah. I don’t drink so next time invite me so I can take some non-fuzzy pix.
I’m gonna do a weekend update on my blog here in a bit.

I tried those boots on Sunday! I ended up buying the same brand but another style. They are awesome and you can’t beat the price.
Feel better soon.

Ohhh I love that picture of Minden! My cats never sit like that…
It’s such a funny position. I’ll try and train them to do it!
Your mom is so pretty! And she looks like fun too!
And the Monkey’s toque! So cute!
My weekend was good, I went to the vet with one of my cat and met a really cute guy on the way! I don’t know where that’s gonna go, but, anyway, it made me happy for the weekend
I love the “photo-roman” blog genre, it was really fun! Don’t hesitate to use it again when you feel tired!
I hope you get over that cold fast! Take care of yourself!!!
Maria said, October 27th, 2008 at 4:36 pm

I went to Vegas for a convention but my husband got to come while my mom stayed with the kids – 3 nights alone for the 1st time EVER!!! I really missed them by the end so had a great time but HAPPY to be home

I love amaretto sours when I’m bowling. It’s the only time I can drink them. Great, now I need to go bowling!
