Have an amazing February 25, 2011, please?! xoxo G












Your train ride food kicks ass
YES FOR THE JAR- i say YAY
prayers are with you!
Good luck making the decision on the next step! It’s always a mixed scary/exciting feeling. I think I say Proverbs 3:5-6 in my head about a bajillion times whenever I have to make a decision.
I’m glad you got the rain! We got the snow
I love that top photo. So cool! And nothing wrong with a little almond butter on the train. At least it’s not peanut butter, which could force someone into anaphylaxis.
I love that umbrella photo, so cute! Did you take it?

At least it’s not snow. At least it’s not snow. At least it’s not snow.
Also, it will be gone by the time we’re going out. Wooo!!

I wish we had rain here! Instead we’re getting a giant snowstorm. Yuck!
dear G -
thank you for the repeatitive “ella, ella, ella, ey, ey, ey” currently going on in my head.
also, thanks for making me spell check the word “repetitive” and realize that I spelled it incorrectly the first time.
but instead of fixing it, i’m just going to let it stay there. celebrating my imperfection.
good? great.
also, for the record, you may have noticed I started this comment/letter “dear G” - this comes from my recent education on the fact that you like this nickname best.
I was thinking of starting my own unique nickname for you, maybe Unicorn Breath, or Snazzypants, but I decided that I should probably just keep with what you already love rather than try to impress you with my creative genius.
ahem.
happy train ride, Puddlewhistle!

p.s. i keep hoping to one day learn that you boarded a train heading in the OTHER direction and are Capital District bound. When this happens, please alert me, as I will prepare a fantabulous slumber party. with sprinkles.
Save that almond butter for oiaj! 😉

good luck with your journey! remember, spring is almost here!
super cute post!
I will pray for you! Congrats to Kateyln for winning your giveaway!
Dearest Gracie,

Thank you! Thank you, thank you! For being so kind to me, for being so wonderful, for being so beautiful, basically for being you. Your #ff was just the sweetest thing. But more than that, YOU are the sweetest thing.
Happy Friday!
You are the cutest thing ever!!! Seriously, I mean that!

Gracie,
I have searched half a dozen stores for vitatops. The website showed a list of location that carry them. Thus far, none of them have. Any suggestions where to look? I live near Seattle.
Hi Nicole! The only stores I’ve seen them in are Genuardis, Acme, and Stop ‘n Shop. Another option could be to order them off the website!
Katelyn says
Nicole,
I live around the Seattle area too and I have actually found them at Fred Meyer in the Natural foods frozen section!
Love it, lady! I was clinging to my purple bubble umbrella like crazy today. 😀 YAY, happy friday to you!!
Ashley (whole-ier) says

What a precious list. Thanks for sharing.
