Friday Favorites

three: Clothe, by lizarietz
four: Children silhouette from lepapierdesigns

Sometimes when I have a lot of little things I want to write about I spend long dwaddles of time trying to figure out a way to string them all together. When you see lists in my blog entries, that's clue to the fact that I failed the string-effort! This morning, I wanted to mention that beautiful Blaze just got engaged to her marvelous boy that she's been cooing about all summer! CONGRATULATIONS! My little sister is pioneering the expansion of our family clan and is due sometime in March (she's named her/him Cricket--so if I start posting lots of baby stuff, it's all for Cricket)! I have goosebumps all over, I'm so excited! Jude, over at Randomly Run4istRun is cooking up a new project for us, so keep your eyes peeled. A good friend of mine, Green Cricket, has just opened up her shop on Etsy and I'm so, so proud of her! And my Andrew just found out that he's one of the TOP 5 FINALISTS for best paper for the Legal and Research Writing crew of his class! Holy Shamoly! So much excitement!

In other news, I have a free weekend! A delicious free weekend. Somehow these have become most coveted. I'll be heading to the Farmer's Market and hopefully get in a long, leisurely walk. I would love to watch a few movies (maybe even a chick flick or two), drink some chai tea, and make a full dinner! What's on the docket for you this weekend?

Sounds like a fantastic way to spend the weekend! I am envious! Our weekend will be filled with family visits and a wedding. You'll have to take me to the farmer's market if we come down for a visit at the end of the month.

What great news about your sis. How exciting for your family.

I love your Friday picks and am especially swooning over #3-fabulous. Have a wonderful, free weekend.

After a hectic week at work I am happily ensconsed on the sofa, with the Olympics opening ceremony on tv, a cat to my right, a glass of wine on the coffee table, and my laptop on my lap so I can catch up on all the posts I missed reading all week. Tomorrow the RI beach and Sunday to be played by ear. I plan on enjoying every minute of it.
