she loves the brine

em has a new love, and that love is pickles. she particularly likes the ones i picked up this week in nyc at the pickleguys.

the biddles {not unlike her mom} prefers the half-sours.



she'll suck on them until she's green in the face {pun intended}


warts and all,

{{ hem. hathaway. husband. }}

so in case anyone was wondering i may possibly have one of the better husbands around. it annoys me to no end when bloggers gush on and on and on about how 'hot' and funny and thoughtful and amazing and perfect their spouses are - gag gag gag. however, today is a day that i join ranks. why you may ask. well, on our last week here on the east coast mr. a is taking me and his-girl-friday to nyc for a chance at seeing my favorite folk band :hem: score the shakespeare in the park version of twelfth night with anne hathaway as the lead. he is so lovely, so lovely indeed, so much so that he will be studying for this while em and i visit here and here and here while pretending to be them.

he even got us a upper east side location so em and i can trip all over town and drink latte in central park, giving me one last day of city living before we go suburban for a while.


i really love this guy. he is like the very best ever. here are 2 more reasons:
