A little random funny....

...right in the middle of the work week.

So wrong...

...but SO funny!
I know, I know...I'm a horrible person.
I'll take that into consideration once I've stopped laughing.

2013 Book Challenge

I've made a decision in relation to the 2013 Book Challenge.

I can not re-read another book this year.  They are taking up too much time.

Also, for ever one book I read on the Kindle, I must read at least 5 physical books.

Because they keep piling up.

And the digital ones can wait.

On a side note: recently finished a sci-fi title, Ten Little Aliens, which took FOREVER and led to massive amounts of frustration.  This may or may not have influenced my decision to put down the Kindle for a while.

Brunch with the Girls

On the menu this month: Greek!  So we piled into the car and spent an incredibly rainy Sunday afternoon at Mykonos Taverna in Atlanta. 

  Quite possibly the greatest menu item description ever.

 Aimee was making funny faces and gestures to attract the waiter's attention.
So he started making them back at her.

Robin-in-my-pocket.

 This was AFTER about half of the plates had been removed from the table.
Yeah...if you leave this place hungry it's your fault.

 Fantastic baklava.

The girls
