These Pretzels are making me thristy


We had a small Seinfeld shindig and had a so much fun, snacking on junior mints, jujyfruits, Snapple: and a Delicious BIG salad with lots of stuff in it, the carrots were the size of my arm. I wouldn't have mentioned it if it were just a regular salad, but we had to have the BIG SALAD!
(thanks Curtis')

Guests were definitely master of their apparel as they came dressed in something Seinfeld significant...

The Sunshine Cleaners:
Season 7 "The Checks"
George and the Chocolate Syrup stained shirt: Season 2 "The Baby Shower"

Mike as George protecting his gorgeous hands for his new profession as a hand model.
Season 5 "The Puffy Shirt"
Leah as Elaine, "The Red Dot" Season 3
We dined on...
Bruchsetta on RYE BREAD and mini CAL ZONES

Homemade MUFFIN TOPS, PRETZELS of course and BLACK AND WHITE COOKIES (not pictured) Served on COFFEE TABLES. The night ended with Seinfeld Scene-It Game with The Curtis's as the winners, (not pictured, sorry I got my camera out after they left) a grand prize of two cereal boxes, Sweckers in second place taking home jujyfruit and pez dispensers, and the Danielson's last place :( with a little baggies of muffin stumps.

All in all we had a great night reliving the show about nothing. If you're a Seinfeld fan, we are definitely doing this again only bigger and better. Let me know what your favorite line or show is and you just might make the cut next go around, considering you're not a low/high or close talker, face painter or re-giver, you're in baby!

I GET IT!

It's been a rough couple of months. Nothing others haven't experienced, yet it has kept me from blogging. I haven't felt the pull or drive to edit and upload photos, to think about any clever opening lines or act as though things are perfect, but if they really knew...

But...tonight in the quiet of my home when MilaBelle wakes unexpected, and just wants a hug, I carry her into the living room, to cuddle on the couch, for I too need a hug. I listen to her breathing, her head rests in the nape of my neck and I Get IT. Why it's all so important, why families are worth fighting for, why taking walks to the park brighten their day, why reading the same story and singing the same song night after night make them feel whole, loved, comforted, needed and in turn does the same for me
Act as though everything depends upon it because it does.
