While I patiently waited for my copy of Bloom to come in the mail, I read The Language of Flowers. Don’t worry, it’s much more a novel than a dictionary. It was so good that I couldn’t put it down. I’m on a winning streak with my book choices lately and I’m kind of ecstatic about it. (Bloom came and I read it in one night; it’s a beautiful, beautiful book.) Here’s one of my favorite quotes from The Language of Flowers.

My sister just found out last week that she’s having a girl! This makes me thrilled to start shopping for itty bitty girl clothes! (So…technically, I already started. Mini clothes are the cutest trumped only by itty bitty mini shoes!)
In other news, my sister-in-law is going to give me a new nephew in just a few weeks. I’m so lucky! I cannot wait to snuggle!! Every morning, I wake up and think, “Today could be the day he comes!”
Growing up on a farm outside of town, I never got to participate in things like Trick-or-Treating, May baskets, etc. So this year, I got to experience May baskets first-hand at my part-time job! Obviously, my favorite part was the chocolate. Duh. I have missed out on so much!
We went to Pathway, my alma mater, for my littlest brother’s dinner theatre, Sherlock Holmes. First of all, dinner theatres at Pathway are the best because the food is over-the-top delicious. My brother had a big role in the play (as Mr. Larabee) and did/had (?) a pretty stellar performance.
