Good seats

Fun! Fun! I got to go to the John Mayer (with Matt Kearney) concert. I replaced our good friend Matt, who ended up having to go to China instead of the concert. Poor guy! The thing that I realized about concerts is that I really like to sit down for them. I like to be cozy and relaxed and just enjoy listening to the music. However, if everyone around you stands, you have no choice but to stand, unless you like looking at thousands of backsides. I guess that's part of the fun. If you wanted to be cozy and comfy, you might just listen to the CD from your couch. And then you'd miss all the lights and the performer talking from the stage (which i love). And you'd miss that feeling that now that you've seem them in person, you actually know them and have a right to love their music more than the next person. Is it just me?

Futons

Larry and I have "moved" into the basement. We are sleeping on the futon so we are close enough to let Piper out when she needs to go. Yikes! I know we sound like lunatics. I would have never guessed we would go this head over heels for her. All I can say is that I'm thankful for our futon so we don't have to sleep on the floor! You don't really think we would do that do you??

piper

welcome home piper!! while we aren't quite ready for parenthood, we thought we would test the waters with a puppy. it's been so fun and exciting. it reminds me how wonderful my friends and family are that they are all so excited for us. thank you, thank you, thank you! it probably comes as no surprise to you that piper and larry are best friends forever (bff).
**my favorite is when she stretches.

Style

Since buying our house, I'm much more interested in style. Mostly, I'm interested in getting some of my own. That might be why I was particularly drawn to this idea that these girls, carrie and danielle, will analyze you and determine the words that define your style. Too bad it costs $500 to find out that you are "elegant playful" or "timeless nature" or some other combo of revealing words. They describe it like this, "Your Style Statement is your life trademark. It is a compass for designing a life that reflects your best self. From your wisdom to your wardrobe; from your longings to your living room, your business plan, your finances, and the parties you throw--your Style Statement is where your essence meets your expression." Doesn't it sound great? Since I can't afford it, I'll just have to think of my own "style statement." Here's a link to their manefesto of style, which I think is lovely and inspiring.
