november.

It feels good to finally be blogging again. I have had some issues with my computer...like, I dropped it. oops. I have a game plan for fixing it though. I hope it works because I need to download some music and No Agenda!

 Since I wasn't able to catch everything, I just have a little recap of this month:

My best friend, Catherine, welcomed baby Rex. It made me so happy. There is something about those newborn babies. We also had our first snow. It was lovely and I hope we have more:

We had a couple of great date nights. We tried Rumplings, our new ramen restaurant here in Louisville. The dumplings are out of this world. Afterward, we saw the new Hunger Games and loved it. Another night we stayed in and ordered a giant pizza from Spinelli's and watched What If with Daniel Radcliffe, my dear celebrity crush since I was eleven.

We have been going to brunch at Wild Eggs on our day off together every week. It has been delicious and great fuel for all of our christmas errands. We went to the Moth Story Slam again this month. I love stories!

Jonas gave a talk in church one Sunday. He's cute. On that same day, we had a great afternoon with my brother, his little guy and my dad. My nephew is my favorite with boiled egg on his face, he ate several.

I had some fantastic workouts the past couple weeks, I took that first photo when I was feeling so great. I feel so free not having to run lots of miles, but a little sad that I'm not at the same time. We received a package from Jonas' sister. There was a giant oreo milka. There is going to be too much chocolate around from now until the holiday season is over. but. it. was. good.

The photo with Lola is the only one I took during Thanksgiving. Not sure what's up with that. It was a good holiday just hanging around family. The last photo is from our walk in Old Louisville. It was super warm out one night and I was grateful.

I started a new journal, which is always a new start to me. We may have finally won the battle with our cat's fleas. It has been a long road with lots of baths, vacuuming, combing, frontline, flea powder, fogging for fleas and nasty fleas collars. Gross!

november in the neighborhood.

...old louisville on an absolutely beautiful day...

vacation video.

jonas and i took lots of little clips with the 8mm camera app on our trip to Canada in 2012. i finally got around to making a video out of them. it felt pretty good to get that done. music is by Peter, Bjorn and John. click the link here to view the video.
also, i added a few of my old blog posts- you can find the archive at the bottom of the page...

 

sweeney todd.

my sister is to blame for my obsession with sweeney todd.
when i was little, she talked about it all the time and acted out some scenes for me and my brother.
i remember playing with the plastic razor prop she had.
we also used to watch it on VHS, haha.
i have never seen it live but have wanted to for ages.
i found out it was playing at the jewish community center. i have to admit, i was skeptical but it was lovely! it was not amateur at all, which is what i was expecting.
the play was very well cast. their sweeney gets an A plus plus. mrs. lovett was hilarious & very talented. their johanna had the voice of an angel.
i had the best time and had some major chills through the entire performance. it was brilliant.
excuse me while i  go sing along to the soundtrack some more...

on another note, jonas and i had the most delicous dinner at ruby tuesday. their salad bar is the best ever.
