sunday monday







Christmas came early to our house this year. We spent Sunday evening at our friend, Hannah's, celebrating the holiday with lots of babies, and even more cookies. I devoted the rest of that night to wrapping gifts that really should have been taken to the post office last week.

Joe got himself a new iPhone for Christmas and it came Monday morning. When he accidentally opened my Christmas gift to him that also came with the mail that morning, I broke down and told him the Christmas was ruined. I couldn't help but be a Sally about it; Shit's been tough for me as of late. Feeling bad about the mess up, he handed me the box with the iPhone in it and wished me a Merry Christmas. He ordered two. I'm one of those cool kids that's STILL rocking a Nokia flip phone, so my new phone is a pretty huge deal. Honestly, I wish Christmas would be ruined more often... it's kind of fun that way.

These days, it feels like The Cat is more interested in Cheech's toy basket than Cheech herself. Currently, she likes to spend her free time pulling our potted succulents in the general direction of her face and hauling ass toward The Cat's food dish. When she's not risking scarring up her face and choking on kibble, she's napping A LOT. Must be exhausting being such a daredevil.

  2. Maybe it wasn't supposed to be funny, but your paragraph about Cheech and her "ass hauling" made me laugh very loudly.

  4. iPhones will change your life. Get a cover for it, STAT, or else it will end up as cracked as Charlie Sheen. I have an Otterbox cover - not the most glamourous, but it has been dropped on concrete more times than I can count with no consequences! - Jem!

  5. Your home looks so beautiful and warm and so perfect for entertaining!

    A thought: Maybe you could turn The Mess Up into a tradition? You and Joe get to open ONE gift, the Monday before Christmas, just an idea... from someone who HATES waiting for Christmas Day to arrive.

    p.s. Hooray for iPhones! Wanna play "Words with Friends" with me? I'm "Coco Hunnicutt" on there. xo.

  7. Um, I am currently using a Nokia phone that doesn't even flip open. The last time I brought it out in public someone took a picture of it because they didn't believe you could buy phones like that anymore.

    Happy early Christmas! I covet those beautiful bookshelves in the top picture. Sigh.

    and i second the call for an otterbox. i slapped one on immediately post-phone purchase, and it's been fine for a year. last week i ordered some cute cover from an artist i liked on society 6- within 2 hours my screen shattered.
    otterboxes for life!
