Today I'm babysitting little Sadie, 

a day so far full of cereal and cartoons, fuzzy pajamas and hot tea. 

I've been channeling my attention between Martha Speaks and, for some reason, really awesome wedding invitations from Printable Press. 

Aren't those great? I found them through the Bleubird blog- which is, by the way, my favorite new blog find. Her family is just the cutest:

Douglas makes me want to be a designer. I don't care if I lay out yearbooks for a living. 

Guys, I can't tell you how relieved I am that I finished my English paper an hour ago. I am super mego happy.

Except, I'm also sad, because I can't call my loverly bee-eff and talk to him about how relaxed and happy I am that I'm done,

because he's currently on a

on his way to 

and I will 

 This past weekend was an especially great one. 

There was a huge sale at the Cracker Barrel of all places, and I snatched up two really nice scarves, a sun hat, snake pick-up-sticks, and an airplane fork for Truchi for ten bucks.

Then I went to Greeneville, and that always means a good time.

 Chris and I had the best dinner Saturday at Chihuahuas, our favorite Mexican restaraunt. 

We ate some delicious food (and not so delicious coffee) outside on the patio with the fairy lights,

and one of the owners toddler sons was driving in the gravel around the building 

in one of those little battery powered cars all night, off-roading and getting into mini-car wrecks.

It was the cutest thing we'd ever seen,

plus the most amazing chimichanga I've ever eaten.

On Sunday we got sun burnt and sun dazed at the Iris Festival.

 

And although I hate having to use it,

the road that leads me from Chris's town to mine is so pretty. It always takes the edge off of leaving.

It's the perfect mixture of nature and general filth.

And this is totally off topic, but I forgot to show you this amazing house

near my aunt and uncle's in North Carolina.

It might be my dream home.

 Truchi will be leaving this Saturday for France.

I'll miss talking to him every day

after 9 PM and on weekends, unless he calls the house phone ;)

Today was such a good day!

In three of my classes we had substitutes and no work to do

but watch movies about horse races and look at blogs on the internet (My heaven!!!)

and the other teacher decided that it was far too pretty to stay inside the school,

and that it would behoove our 2nd block to play outside.

LUCKILY I had a picnic blanket and a dragon kite in my car!!

Oh what fun!!!!!!

By the way, I believe you've been waiting for these?

I promised,

I delivered!!

Have a great weekend, everybody!!!

I found this on dori the giant

hers is one of my favorite new blogs,

although I don't completely understand it yet,

I'm absolutely fascinated by it. 

Good work Dori,

I'm pro-you.
