memories

Finding a rug for our master bedroom (renovations are slowly coming together), a Mexican themed farewell party (tequila + pinatas spell PARTY), Mark taking the hounds to the vet solo, and returning with $200 of preventives we don't use, Jaleesa making deans list(!), late, boozy lunch with coworkers for March Madness (its a tradition and I'm not even a basketball fan), glimpses of Spring outdoors at my favorite place in STL running with a friend and walking with Mark and the hounds, seeing a good friend over Happy Hour, thoroughly loving Buti Yoga, getting oodles of great cookbooks from the library, quality hound time when Mark was away on business for a week, watching Honey I Shrunk the kids (childhood favorite) on my long run one Saturday, realizing I love hot yoga, not warm yoga (there is a difference), and, my first Diptyque experience (it was superb -- the facial rose water and perfume samples are incredible).
