WELCOME BACK TO ANOTHER….

SamePageMonday

I’m your host, Allison, and it’s another Monday… and another Same Page Monday.  Here we go!

(Every Monday, I feel like I’m in the movie, Groundhog Day.)

1.  I don’t know if you all know this but… THE RED SOX WON THE WORLD SERIES!! YAY!!

(Just kidding, of course you all know this!!)

2.  I don’t know if you all know this, but watching the Sox beat the Cardinals reminded me of one of my childhood hobbies… Bird watching.  Yep, that’s right.  Bet you didn’t see that coming.  Living in Boston, there were all these amazing little birdies flying around or perched in trees.  I especially loved going on the swan boats in Boston Common, and I loved the book, Make Way for Ducklings.  I also had a bird book that would help me to identify all the different kinds of birds!  Omg.  I can’t even believe I’m admitting to this.  Am I really writing about this right now?  Well, cat’s already out of the bag… my favorite birds were cardinals and chickadees!

Look how cute they are!!!

3.  Popped a blood vessel in my eye this weekend.  Don’t know how…  they (as in WebMD) say it will go away in 1 to 3 weeks. 3 weeks??  Great.

4.  Y’all, I don’t know if y’all know this… but it’s November.  November.  As in Christmas cups at Starbucks, as in Christmas music on the radio (too early), as in Thanksgiving in a few weeks, as in it’s almost Christmas, as in you need to start Christmas shoppin’, as in it’s almost 2014… Where did this year go, y’all?? (for some reason I felt like I needed to write this in my southern accent.)

5.  My friend’s car wouldn’t start this weekend.  (We were trying to go on a Target run.)  She didn’t have AAA….???  LADIES, you must have AAA!!!  Luckily, I did!  (Thanks, Dad!)  What would she have done with out me?  What would we do without AAA?  I wrote a post about it on my other blog.  Click here to read.

6.  We can now add “Swiss Alps Babes” to our funny searches list!  I can’t decide which one is my favorite… “Swiss Alps Babes” or  “Skinny Dipping Girls”.  That’s a tough one.

Happy Monday, Y’all!  XO

I’m in trouble.  Another tardy blog post.  Boss Lady Caroline busted me this morning.  I apologize to all of you who missed not being on the same page yesterday and had to wait till today.  I hope your whole week wasn’t thrown off on account of me.  I just got back yesterday from a weekend in San Francisco.  I will now get you all on the same page.

1.  It was Grace’s 80th Birthday last week!  The whole family gathered together in Northern California this past weekend to celebrate.  Happy Birthday to our sweet Grace!  (The picture on the right is of Grace and little Billy, our dad… 60 years ago.)

2.  Here I am, waiting for Emily and Steve to arrive at the airport last Friday… I might have a new career in chauffeuring, if the whole acting thing doesn’t work out.  I waited there with my Milly & Grace Girls post card with all those drivers with signs.  Waiting.  And waiting.  About 20 minutes after the first Red Sox hat sighting (which means the plane from Boston has deplaned), Em and Steve walked out.  I was the only “driver” left by the time they got there… because Em had to stop and get Pinkberry…

3. MISSING SILVER SHOE SPOTTED AT SFO.  ONE LONELY SILVER SHOE AT BAGGAGE CLAIM 3.  From Virgin America flight 905 from VEGAS to SFO.  It must have been a crazy week in Vegas.  A women with a glove on came and removed it from the carousel.  If you recognize your shoe, please call the following number, 650.763.5146.   Thank you.  Note:  Be careful while packing, people.  Don’t let this happen to your shoes.

4.  The Core Four stopped by our old house in Danville, CA.  It was the first house we built.  I was four months old when we moved in and 3 years old when we moved out.  Patty and Bill hand picked that big Japanese Maple tree that is still in the front!   So many memories.

You are probably wondering who the Core Four is…well it’s the name for our original family… the family before Caroline showed up 7 years after me!  (We still love you, Caroline!!)

5.  For some reason, we were just not “on” this weekend.  We had some major posing fails.

6.  Thanks to Emily, we had the following song stuck in our heads the whole weekend.  “What do you do when you got a cute puppy?   What do you do when you got a cute puppy?  You love ’em, you kiss ’em, you cuddle ’em too.”  Annoyingly catchy.  Obsessed much?

7.  The Patriots pulled out a win over the Dolphins on Sunday.  And the Red Sox are 3 and 2 in the World Series!! (After some crazy games.) They are heading home to Boston to claim the Championship.

8.  Oh and this happened last week.  Lady Gaga + Giant furry headpiece = ….. there are just no words……
