It’s Saturday, and therefore time to look back at three beautiful things from the past week.
1. I took homemade cookies to my friend Jenna for her birthday last Sunday. En route to her dinner, a little boy on the Metro escalator asked me what I had in the box I was carrying. I told him it was cookies. He pointed at the bow on it and said, “No, it’s a present.” I told him that was true — it was a present of cookies, which blew his mind. He was visibly (and adorably) boggled that is was possible to get cookies for a present.
2. The weather on Monday, which I had off from work, was perfect, and I had a chance to read out on the porch in the sunshine — probably for the last time for several months.
3. I finally got my hair cut, which I’ve needed to have done for weeks. I feel like l lost 10 pounds of hair!
What’s been beautiful in your life this week?
1. Keys to the new house.
2. Reaching my pre-James weight (which is also my wedding weight) for the first time in two years.
3. Having a really fun week with James who is adding 2 or 3 new words a day – its so much fun to try to interpret what he is saying, and to hear him trying to sing “twinkle, twinkle little star”
Eileen, Great to hear that you WILL make it for Christmas in your new home. Good luck and have a BLAST> Can’t wait to see more pictures! JoAnn
WOW!! You look like two different people, Sarah. I really LIKE your cut!
And, HORRAY for E&C too!!!! Ohhh so happy for you. (And, “doing” at 2:10 a.m. will burn off pounds anyday!!). Work on James singing “Jingle Bells” — not that far off!! No pressure — but I’ll see you all a month from today
Just wanted you to know: when this post popped up in my Google reader, the photo looked like a mug shot and I was worried about you for a minute.
Ha ha ha. So true!
I totally thought that too! Ha.
Wendy, you are so right! Love the new ‘do, Sarah!
Yeah – general consensus from here, Facebook, and text messages is that these are possibly the most unflattering photos I’ve ever posted of myself.
Anyone who has tips on taking a decent selfie without resorting to duckface, let me know!
Jailhouse butch to Twilight wannabe…
