Random ramblings...

lola has been battling a cold for the past few days
growing concerned by my incessant need to keep her nose/face booger-free
finding her stuffed-up voice heartbreakingly adorable
feeling like I'm coming down with whatever she has

went to best friend's wedding dinner at faustina tonight

drank nine glasses of diet coke with lemon, thanks to a very attentive server

learned i would kill for a daily dose of the molten lava cake

made husband swap his coveted salmon for my chicken

grateful to have a boy who loves me that much

-----

set my alarm for a run tomorrow morning

wondering if i'll actually trade my blanket fortress for the brisk outdoors

excited to go to the temple for best friend's sealing afterward

wishing i liked my wedding photos more

wanting to be a long-haired brunette again

giddy over upcoming trip to nyc

dreaming of grimaldi's pizza, walks across the brooklyn bridge, naps in central park, shopping in soho, wandering the public library, searching for tina fey in rockefeller plaza, getting lost at the met, reunions with old friends -- and on, and on, and on...

freaking out about surviving the red-eye flight with a 13-month-old

so, so, so sad reece won't be joining us

hoping we get to live there someday
