- keep up in french
- order photos to be printed so we can frame them & hang them on our walls (and then maybe i can actually show what our house is looking like these days)
- put things in the mail
- pretend it's cooler than it really is and take "brisk" walks with levi

  6. I have a busy week. It is "Hell" week for me at the theater. My show opens on Friday so I am focusing solely on the show. I don't have any time for anything other than rehearsals. Its crunch time! Just making sure my lines are solid and that my accent is clear (I play an Irish maid) and that my monologue of Edgar Allan Poe's Tell Tale Heart is memorized. Stressing! hehe but fun....speaking of pumpkin cookies. I have a gluten-free pumpkin white chocolate chip cookie recipe. Yum!

  11. I think I'm going to steal your pumpkin chocolate chip cookie idea (and Olivia's recipe)! I have some great recipes that I'll share as soon as I find them (giving them to you by memory would not be a good idea).

    I hope this week goes the way you want it to. Isn't this time of year exciting?!

  16. Those recipes sound SO good! I love fall so much, it's ridiculous. Just wish we (because I know you're in SoCal too!) lived in a place with more fall like weather. Sigh...
