- for months, we've been planning to get a puppy when we move to LA. it's definitely the carrot on a stick for me to pick up and restart across the country. we can't have dogs in our apartment building right now, so i've been counting down. of course, now that we'll be subletting til december, it's looking like our four-legged friend might not join us til the beginning of next year. but while we wait, we still talk about her like she's real. oh yes, she's a she, her name is mabel, and she's a bernese mountain dog. basically, this was a big long lead-up into me saying we have an imaginary dog. as in, people at work ask me about mabel. which is perfectly normal, right? great. glad we got that out of the way. i don't have any pics of mabel (she's difficult to photograph, you know, what with the not being real), but she looks something like this:
- did you watch SNL this weekend? charlize theron was the host, and overall the episode was fine, but i absolutely loved her haircut, especially how she styled it for the monologue. i'm taking this picture to my hairdresser soon. so cute!
- peonies are in season!! nothing makes me feel more like martha stewart than a vase of them on our dining table. that is all.
- pro tip: if you're planning on moving away from a city that you love more than you can possibly express in words, think about moving during a hellacious winter, when it's easier to bid farewell. moving during the most beautiful season of the year is somewhat more difficult. thanks for your help in making this transition, new york.
just hanging out in a disgusting, ugly park while the weather was terrible this weekend.
hope your week is off to a great start!
