Yankee McDoodle


Amidst all the craziness this week, my best friend from Scotland, Joanna, is here for a visit. Boy, have we been preparing for her visit. It's a lot of work to have someone from Scotland come to stay, since all they eat is haggis and whiskey. And because they wear kilts all the time, we figured we better make some too so that Joanna felt like she fit in here in America. Also, her favorite flower is the thistle so I just had to find some of those for the bedside table. And we couldn't forget the weather. It took us a long time to make sure it would rain every. single. day. this week - just like in Edinburgh.

It's been three years since we've seen each other - at my wedding. Which means that she got to meet the boys for the first time on Sunday. Sharks calls her 'Joanna McMeal' (not exactly her name, but it does sound like a tasty new option at McDonald's).

Anyhoo, you gotta love those friends who know you so well that time apart doesn't matter. Friends that love you even when life seems out of control. (Even though we know that life is never in our control.)

You need to update your side bar with Dooce's book! And I need to read it!

It was great meeting Joanna! She's lovely!
