Ah, Sunday. The most ambiguous day of the week. I love you and I dread you at the same time.
What to share?
There are just so many different choices.
I mean, we got to celebrate the first day of spring in a misty-haze, the top came off of le jardin (when the light is better, I’ll show you the madness that are our tomato sprouts…they’re kind of epic), I performed some serious e-mail admin and had the most productive yoga sesh of my life.
I don’t want to say that Downward Dog is my favorite pose.
But Downward Dog is my favorite pose.
There…I said it.
Speaking of yoga, I was in the middle of a wardrobe-purge this morning and discovered that I have four pairs of yoga pants. And here I was, thinking that I only had two! Who knew?
Did I mention that on the “high” setting, my heated blanket basically turns into a full-body hot pack? Because there’s that too. Consider that the discovery of the century. I only wish that I would have known this in July.
Yes, I realize this means I will be the only Minnesotan (the only North American, really) using a heated blanket in the middle of the summer. It’s definitely a case of function over fashion.
Back to the point.
What really did it for me today, was when I was paying for my groceries at ALDI, and the cashier informed me that she thought I looked like Kate Middleton to the point where she did a double take when I walked in the store.
Yes, I think we’re style-soulmates and I would like all of the clothes in her closet, but I’ve never really felt that we could pass for sisters.
OR THE SAME PERSON.
Hello, reality.
Regardless, that one is definitely going in the Lifetime Achievement column.
So, what I didn’t tell you all over the past few days, is that Marcus has been in Vegas since Wednesday morning. Safety first and all that.
Translation: My life has been one colossal ladies’ night. In action?
- I had sushi with Galina.
- Went to a wine and homemade pizza-fueled sleepover that Tiffany organized (her husband was with Marcus).
- Brunched with Eli.
- Had a major beat-down catch-up with Jillian.
- Went to Santorini’s in Eden Prairie for a lovely blogger brunch meet-up with Stephanie, Anne (and sister!) and Jen. LOVED it.
I spent an AMAZING weekend with some fabulous women.
And now I feel like I need a weekend to recover from the weekend. It’s the only way to live, really.
Do you have a celebrity doppelganger?
Are you a yoga devotee?
Going to a studio/group-practice isn’t really my scene, but I love that I can roll out a mat, flip on some ExerciseTV via Comcast On Demand and make things happen.
Totally new to your blog and love your writing style.
Yep, I’m a yoga devotee but have been having a hard time getting to practice over the last couple of weeks.
Major snaps on being a beautiful doppelganger. I don’t look like anyone but people used to say Christina Ricci (long ago) and random other girls with dark hair, big eyes, and high cheekbones
Sounds like some serious fun was had these past few days!
I see the resemblance to KM, definitely. Good thing she’s gorgeous and has pretty good style! Except what is with the British and their hats?!?
I don’t do yoga, but always think I should…
You will remember the “you look like Kate Middleton” comment for the rest of your life. What a good, “I remember that one time when…” story.
I can see the Kate Middleton resemblemcence
Ahhh… a girl’s weekend. I so need/want one of those. Even though I just got back froma vacation it’s still nice to be able to get out with the girls minus the family. Hopefully I’ll get a night out soon!
I’m jelly of your blogger meet-ups!! I lovahhh the yoga, if only for the mental workout.
Ususally when I do yoga, I get sick later. But I do use a small version of it for stretching after a particulalry heinous workout. And I must agree with you, TOTALLY love the downward dog. I’ve been known to spontaneously downward dog after a long sit on the floor.
Kate Middleton? What a compliment! Right now I am suffering from a severe head cold and I think I look like the Queen Mother.
Quite a compliment!
I haven’t been told I look like anyone, ever. My husband on the other hand gets told he looks like – and I will spell all of these wrong – Jake Gyllenhal, Tobey McGuire, Blake Hoffarber (U of M b-ball player) and/or Dovac Nokavich (tennis player). Interesting mix!
Downward facing dog is my favorite yoga pose, too. Such a great over all stretch, without much balance required. Balance poses and I do not get along.
You are becoming a regular socialite with all of the blogger meet-ups that you have arranged. Way to go!
Huge yoga devotee – in fact you may even say my free time schedule and well let’s be hoenst, work schedule too at times, revolves around my yoga schedule. It is just so refreshing – and a great workout (especially sculpt). I love it.
And fun to have a blogger brunch – must say a little jealous
Much love,
B
Awesome compliment!
I would also love to have all of the clothes in Kate Middleton’s closet
Alas, I have no doppelganger. Nada. I’m just so unique, or something.
I hate downward dog. Love yoga, hate the dog. It kills my arms. I guess that means I need to do more yoga…
Looking like Kate Middleton sounds like some kind of wonderful curse
I’ve been told I resemble Sophie Marceau, she’s a French actress who was a Bond girl once (win!).

You do look like Kate Middleton!
I tried to do a yoga video once and my daughter joined me and had no trouble getting into the poses I was struggling with, it made it all kinds of no fun. I have a friend who swears by bikram yoga which sounds like all kinds of crazy to me.
Meeting you all was so much fun!
