I walked into Trader Joe’s today and, to my delight, most of the employees were wearing banana headbands. Naturally, I had to ask about the shenanigans because this kind of whimsy is very much my thing.

Will be putting this on my calendar for May 17th from here on out.

I didn't know you'd written a memoir!

 

Fredrik came over for dinner and spotted this book displayed on the stairs.

Friday Happy Hour

Sikose has spent the last couple of weeks house/dogsitting at a friend's place, so we were thrilled to reclaim her for happy hour tonight with her and Sadaf and squeeze in some long-overdue catching up.
