More, please
I really think I should spend my life going away for the weekend. Granted the weekends must include temperatures near 80 and plenty of sunshine.
I spent this past weekend with friends and relations in a cabin on a creek in the country (to some, Lancaster is the country. To Lancastrians, not so much.) There was hiking, and biking, and canoeing, and a little dachshund running around, and also s'mores. I love roasting the absolutely perfect golden brown marshmallow, rotating it slowly, trying hard not to catch it on fire or char the top.
We also attempted to hold the completed s'more over the fire to melt the chocolate, which actually worked really well--if you have a 2-pronged stick to rest it on. The chocolate melts and tastes like Hershey's syrup. Note: this method is about 100 times messier than a regular s'more--and that's pretty messy.
Speaking of some more, I don't consider myself a particularly girly-girl, but the Lancaster Sephora opens on Friday and I am super-excited. No more trips to King of Prussia! More makeup! I love Sephora, I'm almost out of a bunch of my products, AND I want to find an exciting new exfoliant. And their email marketing team is pretty on top of things--today I got an email with a coupon letting me know exactly what day the store will open. So guess who will be at Sephora this Friday?! (Yes, me.)
Also bewildering this weekend. We were discussing the movie Back to the Future and HAD TO STOP AND EXPLAIN IT to some of the people we were with. I thought my friend was joking as he began: "it's this movie, from the 80s, about a kid . . . ." I almost laughed at how funny he was being, spelling it all out like that, and then I realized that he was serious, and she didn't know what he was talking about. My world was seriously shaken. Have people in 2008 really never heard of BttF?
And, exciting possibly: will the Democratic party finally have a nominee tomorrow? Fingers crossed.
