Do you know how lovely it is to have 10 days off from work?  Let me just tell you...it's the best...and today I have to go back...which makes me a little sad, because I would love nothing more than to not work, but I married J and not Ryan Gosling so yeah, I have to work.  But the last 10 days off have been much needed!  My little seester was here the whole time and there was lots of laughter, and food, and sleeping in, and shopping, and snuggling Henri, and basically just relaxing which I think was the perfect way to end last year and start out this year.  

And yesterday we took a little day trip to Fredericksburg with the fam...and everyone is always telling me how cute it is, and there are all of these fun little shops etc...and...well...it kinda sucks!  Maybe I'm just spoiled from where I grew up, but I feel like I just spent the day surrounded by a bunch of yuck.  I mean if you like cowboy boots, and bling on everything, and turquoise, and the state of texas outlined on all of your home decor then this is the place for you, but for a "non-southerner" it kinda made me throw up in my mouth a little bit.  I just couldn't even deal.

On a happy note, I did find a cute dog store where I got Henri the most adorbs polka dot tie...you know for the days he has to go the office.  And I also found a fun hamsa pillow and some elephant pjs so it wasn't a total loss...but lets just say that a few hours in Fredericksburg was a few hours too many.  Do we think I will ever find a place near SA that I like??  We shall see...
