1. When the mail came this week, it was the best of times, it was the worst of times. The good news? Harrison got AM Kindergarten! Super happy about that!2. The bad news? The yellow grainy leather tote I ordered from Boden's sale was actually out of stock and not able to ship. I'm coping though. Moving on. In fact, I think I'm going to set my sights on a cute silver bag instead...one like Nicole's
3. Speaking of cute things on other people's blogs - I ordered some red beads after seeing them on Hilary's. Mine are more traditional, but omigosh, I L-O-V-E them, I want to wear them every day.
4. Not so cute? Food storage friends should look away...here is a picture of my bare bones pantry. While I was "blog jogging" I noticed someone was challenging a pantry purge, so I thought I'd tidy mine and take a picture. I wish I had cuter baskets, but these are fantastically easy to wipe if anything spills.
5. On Monday, I received this email from Jonathan. It was The Worst of Times II.
Jan, In looking at my calendar for the week, I have a finance meeting tonight. I have the funeral tomorrow night. And I have a board meeting on Thursday.
6. And just when I thought emails couldn't get any worse then that, I got some nastygram from a woman on Good Reads. ON GOOD READS. You know, the book review website. I have NO idea who Bonna is, or what bee she has in her bonnet, but sheeesh! I honestly, share my reviews for my FRIENDS, I wasn't trying to enter a deep, critical conversation on this (boring!) (there, I said it again!) novel.

7. I'm glad I have this guy around to make me smile after I finish checking email
8. We are in our 3rd week of swim lessons, and watching Harrison improve on his backstroke makes me smile too.
9. I got my haircut this week, and spent entirely too much on hair products I'll never use correctly. Someone should write a book - Root Pump for Dummies, that would be a Good Read.
10. I also had a little splurge at Old Navy. I walked around the store, turning things over, wondering...could I wear my new red beads with that?

Janet, I must agree, the red beads are very cool, they look great on you especially with your wonderful tan. The picture of Sawyer is just the cutest, he is quite a character! I'm so proud of Harrison and his swimming talents, remember the other day when he said that he would try to teach me to swim when he was a teenager, how cute was that! Brian and I are really looking forward to watching the boys on Saturday night, that will give you a nice break from this very long week.
Love,
Mom
Oh Jan, you make me laugh!
Your pantry looks fabulously clean & organized.
I love the beads, and once again am lamenting the private status of Hilary's blog. I am confident that I am totally missing out!
The good reads lady needs to get a life...
Yay for AM kindergarten, and new silver purses!
I love the bins you are using in your pantry to hold things - I really got to get on that!
Thanks for stopping by my blog, it's always nice to "meet" new people! :)
First off, I love your new blog design...and the term "blog jogging". That's probably the only jogging I'll ever do in my lifetime! Also, that woman WAS unjustified in giving you her opinion. Sheesh, some people have nothing better to do than THAT?! ;o) Cute picture of Sawyer too! :o)
firstly, love the pantry baskets! my pantry is permanently unavailable for photos. :) and hooray for AM kindergarten, glad you got your first choice! i'm excited for you to read "the poisonwood bible" so we can discuss it, who needs annoying and hyper critical good reads ladies? and i would so buy any hair product/styling book labeled "for dummies". i'm so with you! :)
Jan, I love you. That is all.
Okay, I lied. I also need to know where you got your wipeable pantry bins. Thanks. xoxo
yellow grainy tote... sounds cute. I never found THE summer bag that matched me and my budget!! Ha!
I want to see YOU wearing the red beads!!
I think your pantry looks fab! Cute bins!!!
I saw that goodreads grumpy lady! How bizarre! I thought you handled it perfectly. Sheesh, lighten up Bonna! Isn't it a free country? Can't you review how you want??
Kristi-- e-mail me! I can hook you up, but truly, it's not that exciting!!! hilaryshirley at yahoo dot com.

Yea that you got morning kindergarten! That is what I am hoping for, too. Don't fret about food storage. I see you have your diet coke under control. lol! Love your bins! My are boring old cream, so the blue looks fantastic to me.
So many things, where to start...

4. Your pantry could kick my pantry's behind. Where is that neat gene in me?
5. What kind of hair products are you using? And what happened to the bangs?
First of all, I LOVE Sawyer. That is the cutest picture ever. XOXOXO him for me please! And I love the red beads - I'll be so sad if chunky fun jewelry goes out of style. Sorry about the purse, I hate that! And Yay for AM kindy. And your pantry is so well organized and adorable totes!
