And then some...



This weekend I practiced parallel parking, getting ready for my drive test on Friday. It's Friday the 13th, that has to be lucky, right? I got to spend some time with my dear friend and former roommate Eve, in town for a few days from New York. I got to test out our new slow cooker, a Christmas present from my parents. It works! Yum.

I've also been on a cleaning and organizing New Years kick. I'm using this free calendar which gives you small simple tasks to do each day. I mostly like it cause it gets me in a purging mood and then I get a lot done. I created a small mountain of baby things to pass on. It was strange looking at them. How is it that I'm not signing and creating super baby food for my babies, but instead I'm filling out paperwork for, gulp, kindergarten?

We ended the weekend by starting the new season of Downton Abbey which is just as good as I hoped. It's a big country house upstairs-downstairs drama with fabulous actors, and settings and just...everything.

Linking with Amanda at Habit of Being.
