It's The Little Things

This weekend was fabulous for a number of reasons, big and small:

  • A blog (and now real) friend of mine got some amazing news she’s been waiting to hear for some time.

  • I was informed that I have neither gestational diabetes nor anemia.

  • I discovered that Trader Joe’s sells garlic and herb pizza dough.

I'm so fond of these ladies

Oh noes! I’m not in the picture! We can fix that.

(For you see, after our brunch, Heather B. and I spent a few hours walking, shopping, and laughing to the point of audibly snorting. At one point, we were in H&M and I stumbled upon the World’s Most Hideous Jacket. I decided that it would be HILARIOUS to try it on and take a picture, and Heather obliged. Lest you think alcohol was involved, I am 7 months pregnant, and she was a tragic victim of NYC’s new “no alcohol served in restaurants before noon on Sunday” rule.)

  • …Which brings me to my next good thing: The fact that I now have the perfect picture of me looking batshit crazy to insert into other pictures. Not only can I conveniently insert myself into pictures where my presence would (sort of) make sense…

…But I can also shake up international diplomacy with my Fonzie face:

AWESOME.

  • My secret crush, Christopher Walken, hosted Saturday Night Live this week. This was my favorite sketch:

  • Finally, I got to spend some quality time running after Toopweets at the park yesterday, and got this sweet picture of him, staring at an airplane:
"Airplaaaaane!"

A great weekend, all around. Up next: Stay tuned for my critical exegesis of Howard the Duck.

I first saw this photo of you on Heather B's site and I'm now pleased to know you were merely modeling the jacket. I thought there was some fugly new trend I just wasn't privy to. Such fabulous company! I'm so jealous you've met those women in person!

No alcohol before noon on Sunday? (Will they still serve wine with communion?)

And whoo hoo! to the coat--you could totally jump the shark in that.

HEY! I OWN THAT JACKET!

Hahahahaha, not really, but wouldn't it be excellent if I did? You'd feel so terribly guilty that you'd be FORCED to fly out here and go on shopping trips with me and hang out at Old Navy and Sephora, just so I didn't feel offended by what you'd said about my jacket.

(PS: CLAIRE!)

Oh, New York, someday I will come and visit you, and when I do, I hope there will be fabulous bloggers to have brunch with!

You have a secret crush on Christopher Walken too? I don't feel so alone anymore!

Heather B. said...

The secret crush on Christopher Walken is better than the secret crush on The Whoring Whoremonger.

And if Holly owned that jacket I'm sure that you, Susan, Sarah and I would pray for her.

julianna said...

Ohhh. Christopher Walken, Adam Samberg and the Moonlight guy's pecs. Sometimes I'm just a chop-shop for the parts.

You should take that picture and paste yourself getting awards next-- like the Nobel prize.

Sizzle said...

"Fonzie Face" -- hahaha!

Angella said...

I think I'm going to steal that photo of you loverly ladies and insert myself into it.

WHY WASN'T I THERE?

Or maybe I should stop inviting myself places ;)

That photo of your little man is all sorts of awesome.

Ali said...

it's a good thing you drank all that glucerna...;)

Ali said...

sorry...glucola

Isabel said...

Oh crap, I think I own that jacket.

Also, I'm impressed with your mad microsoft paint skillz, yo.

Moose said...

Your posts always make me happy. They just do. If I had some french fries right now, life would be quite satisfactory.

Christopher Walken on SNL made my weekend. MY personal favorite was "Gardening Tips from a Man who is very afraid of his Plants," but that might just be because I find googly eyes ridiculously amusing.

gorillabuns said...

I thought they stopped making Members Only jackets.

Stefanie said...

I'd comment on whether the jacket is hideous, but I'm too busy shaking my head that at 7 months pregnant you can still zip up anything from H&M! You tiny, tiny thing!

Y said...

I love you and it was SO good to see you.

Now, I think I'm going to get me one of those pink wrap things and wear it EVERYWHERE because OMG, it hides The Huge!!

Daisy said...

Sounds like fun!

don't call me MA'AM said...

Am still trying to get over that jacket... and the fact that there aren't any bloggers I know who live close enough to lunch with me. :-( The only who does is moving. Double :-(

Ah, but Christopher Walken and Toopweets have cheered me up.

kat said...

i loved the walken family reunion sketch. hilarious!

the trader joes herb pizza dough is mmmm. so good.

Whiskeymarie said...

Where did my comment go?
Damn. Now I can't remember what I said.
Maybe something about buying that jacket because now I feel sorry for it and maybe it just needs love.
