It's raining so hard right now! My rainboots are paying for themselves we've had so much rain. I had a real good weekend, filled with fallish activities and birthdays and wedding showers. Thursday we made Alison coffee cake to have in the morning for her 22nd birthday, and that night we took her out for a birthday drink and made her a birthday cake (caramel). Friday I woke up and had no voice, literally. I felt okay except a dull headache and congestion and coughing a lot, so I've been religiously taking Tylenol cold and sinus and eating cough drops. Friday night we held a "fall festival" at our house to celebrate Alison's birth, and the love of all things fall. It was a lot of fun! We carved pumpkins and ate baked brie and drank apple cider and danced to the new Jay Z album which I am currently obsessing over. Really though, it's like on repeat in our house. Hehe. Saturday I went to Atlanta with Livs for a wedding shower. I had to socialize with so many older ladies and explain that I don't normally sound like a man. It was hilarious. The shower was really fun though and the food was so good. Olivia got tons of kitchen things from her registry, and I want to get married just so I can get cool gifts. Hehe. Since we were already in ATL, we went to Anthropologie and H&M, where I got some cute stuff. Saturday night I was so tired getting back from Atlanta that I did laundry and went to bed. Yesterday I still had no voice (today it's starting to come back), and by this point I was just tired of not being able to talk. My friends called me Karla- with a K, because I sounded like a chain smoker, and I needed a more suitable name to match my husky voice. Side note- I got so many compliments for having a "sexy" voice. What? Boys dig deep voices on girls...weird. This week isn't too busy school-wise, and I am going to for sure come home this weekend. I can't wait to see you guys!
[Don't worry, I carved a baby pumpkin with an exact-o knife.]
I hope ya'll can breeze through this week easily and have fun. I love you so very very much.
