The Words She Knows the Tune She Hums

Spring Break 2012

Spring Break Highlight #1: Celebrating Morgan’s birthday, twice!

Thursday when I got home we went out for Morgan’s favorite meal of Japanese, but the party didn’t stop there. I got to spend Saturday with her and her sweet friends karaoke-ing the night away at Shokitini.

Spring Break Highlight #2: Trip to Callaway Gardens

Mom and I spent a few days exploring Callaway Gardens and Pine Mountain. It is beautiful up there. The butterfly house was amazing and I have never seen anything like their chapel. We’re already excited to go back.

Spring Break Highlight #3: Visits to LaGrange

Spring Break Highlight #4: Lunch at Joe’s with Connor

Spring Break Highlight #5: Lunch at Last Resort with Mom

Spring Break Highlight #6: Ike and Jane’s Breakfast

It was Ike and Jane’s third birthday this week! It was nice to be back at my favorite breakfast spot to celebrate.

Spring Break High Light #7: Pizza Heaven

Spring Break Highlight #10: Going to the movies!

When I’m at school I never go to the movies. This week, I saw four! Mom, Dad, and I went three nights in a row. A new record! We even liked everything we saw ("21 Jump Street," “John Carter," “The Hunger Games," and “Friends with Kids")!

Spring Break Highlight #11: Trip to Anthropologie

How darling is this ping pong top?

Spring Break Highlight #8: Choice Reading

Here’s to having time to read magazines and The Hunger Games!

Tigerlilly

When I was younger I vividly remember my mom having this CD. I haven’t seen the disc in years, but I could tell you that it features orange and green stripes in an almost swirled fashion. More recently, a friend reminded me how wonderful Natalie Merchant and 10,000 Maniacs are and I have found myself listening to this album often. Funny how technology can change but some things are ingrained in you forever

Cupcake Capers

It’s official, Connor and I are no longer allowed to go on adventures together. As of recently, our most exciting outings have pertained to food, and more specifically—sweets. It all started on Sunday when we wanted hot Krispy Kremes. So we did what anyone craving glazed perfection on their lazy Sunday would do, we got in the car and drove there. Here’s the catch, the closest Krispy Kreme to us is thirty minutes away in Macon. We didn’t stay in Macon longer than twenty minutes, but our time spent there was pure doughnut bliss. Side note: if you go on the Krispy Kreme website you can look up when the hot light is on for most of their locations. Part two of the quest for sweets occurred on Tuesday. I accompanied Connor to lunch where he casually mentioned a cupcake shop which was in downtown Milledgeville and only open on Tuesdays, knowing that I love any restaurant whose hours of operation aren’t the most conventional, I had to try it. We found the address for Doodles online, retrieved walking directions from my MapQuest app, and we were on our way. Their red velvet was absolutely wonderful. We have got to stay on top of ourselves and make sure this does not become a Tuesday tradition.

Safety Tip #14

Crosswords, one of my favorite ways to relax

For my Japanese loving biscuit

Just took my Alice to ride Tower of Terror. Much like her Disney movie counterpart, she is quite the brave little girl.

Today we traveled from Orlando to Miami. We have never been to Miami before so we’ve done a bit of exploring during our one night here. The big excitement for today would probably be finding these cuties at a Florida rest stop. Ever since Christmas break, I have been jealous of Mary Katherine’s Peek-a-Pooh, a small Pooh Best figurine in a rubber toucan outfit. As a lover of cute, I have been checking all sorts of vending machines trying to find my own and today we found these: Peek-a-Pooh: Snoopy Edition! I never imagined a vending machine toy would make me so excited. It’s the little things.
