What day of the week is it?!?!

1.  I am so proud of my big sister.  She is an amazing older sister, successful business owner, awesome fashion curator, loving puppy mom…. and scalloper extraordinaire!!  LOOK!!! That’s a picture of her scalloping on the first day of recreational scalloping season!  #Badass

2.  It was Emily and Steve’s wedding anniversary last week too (the same day as the scalloping picture)!  I can’t believe it has been three years since that beautiful October day when our sister got to marry her childhood crush, the boy next door… the man of her dreams. I am tearing up right now just thinking about it…  We love Steve and that Hollister family so much.  We are so lucky and grateful to call them family!  I forgot to watch the video the other day (I am sure Patty watched it)… I am going to watch it now… watch along with me…

3.  Right now we are currently having a group text conversation about Patty’s Grandma name… NO ANNOUNCEMENTS YET!!!!!  We are just trying to be prepared.  It’s what we refer to her in regards to Ivy too… she is a puppy grandma! (Oh gosh.. we are those puppy people.)  We call her Pom Pom… for many reasons.  But I’ll just name two… POM.. are Patty’s monogram initials.  And she is our biggest cheerleader… hence Pom Pom.

Caroline:  Pom Pom is my vote.  Pippa isn’t a term of endearment.  It’s a different name.  Might as well call her Patty… Like let’s call me Jane from now on.

Patty:  You wouldn’t have wanted to tell your friends you were going to your Pom Pom’s house for Christmas!

Caroline:  I’ve thought about Coco as my name which are my initials.

Patty:  Well that makes sense.  And that’s more of a name and not an accessory for a cheerleader.  AHHHHHHHH!!! I don’t know what to do!!

SO, WE ARE NOW OPEN TO YOUR SUGGESTIONS!!! PLEASE LEAVE YOUR COMMENTS AND IDEAS BELOW!!! NAME POM POM’S GRANDMA NAME!!

4.  Last night, in acting class, our beloved drink, MOTTO, made an appearance!!!  I was dying.  These two used the MOTTO bottle as a prop for a beer bottle!!  It was so LA!  I was/am so proud of our friend, Tom.  I was telling everyone about it.  It all started on our favorite little island… he used to whip up a batch at Em and Steve’s house… and now it has grown into something amazing!  Bravo!

“It’s just tea, man!”  (That green bottle is often mistaken for a beer bottle… Tim was even carded for it once! haha)

5.  One week and a day till our annual GIRLS GETAWAY WEEKEND!!!!  Last year, we went to Lake Tahoe!  Caroline wasn’t able to go because she was in Switzerland.  This year, the girls are headed to Florida to be with our Mom’s cousin Jo Ann!  We can’t wait.  This weekend was created by our amazing cousin, Shannon (who also designed this blog).  It was inspired by this amazing woman below… our Nanny… Milly!  We keep her legacy alive and celebrate her on this weekend together!  WE LOVE AND MISS YOU, NANNY BANANNY!

6.  A BIG SHOUT OUT TO OUR GIRL, HOLLY, AND THE NANTUCKET BLACKBOOK!!!  THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR FEATURING THE MILLY & GRACE GIRLS ON YOUR BLOG!!!  WE LOVE YOU!!  Check out her post… here!

I love that Nantucket community/family so much!!  Miss you all and can’t wait to see you at Christmas! XO

I hope you are all having an amazing week so far.  Great catching up with you!  See you next Monday… for sure next Monday.  There once was a week that I thought about doing Same Page Monday on Friday because I didn’t get it together for Monday but I thought that would just be crazy.  Sorry it’s Wednesday!

I have one thing for you today.  It’s all I can handle today.

I had a very traumatizing moment this morning at the gym.

I got an ear plug stuck in my ear!!!!!!   I thought I was going to have a panic attack!!!!!  Ok, I did have a panic attack!!!

LUCKILY, after a few minutes of panic (like this can’t be happening, I have 10 million things I need to do today and going to the ear doctor to have them fish out a piece of foam from my ear is not on the list, where will I even go to have something like this done… surely not my dentist or women’s doctor) and then after trying to get it out myself, our amazing receptionist tweezed it out of my ear with tweezers.

I would like to give a BIG SHOUT OUT to Marissa for saving my life today.

At the Tracy Anderson Studio we do dance cardio… we dance our butts off (literally and figuratively)!  They blast the music so loud and my spot is right in front of the speaker… and I really don’t want to be deaf by the time I’m 35, so I thought it would be a good idea to wear ear plugs.  But that is so uncool.  I didn’t want to have big ear plugs sticking out of my ears…so I had this “brilliant” idea to cut them in half!  It had been working for the last month and then ALL OF A SUDDEN, today, one decided that it wanted to slide alll the into my ear hole.

Needless to say, I think I’ll just be going deaf by the time I’m 35.  Major fear of ear plugs now.

Happy Monday! XO

It’s Monday..

1.  Kate Middleton has another Royal bun in the oven!  Will & Kate are expecting baby number 2!  She is not far along but they had to announce because she had a to cancel public appearances due to the bad morning sickness she gets from pregnancy. :( Hope she feels better!  Love them!  (I hope it’s a girl!)

Will, Kate and George

2.   I re-watched Legend of The Fall this weekend.  Seriously kills me every time.  My heart feels like its being ripped out.  Brad really gave an incredible performance.   Love that movie.   Caroline, you need to watch it!!  (You also need to watch Strictly Ballroom.)  She keeps asking me about movies to watch on Netflix… it is so overwhelming when you get on there… I could spend hours scrolling through!  I’ll try to gather my favorites and must watches for you!   Expect a post on that… soonish.

3.  Haven’t had dates the last two days.  I feel all out of whack.  I need my dates!!  (Refer down to the previous post to read more about my predicament..) See, I really am bringing you up to date and on the SAME PAGE with all really important stuff.

4. The Ravens finally terminated Ray Rice after video surfaced of the assault… where he knocks out his wife and drags her out of the elevator.  I mean, C’MON MAN!!!  He should be banned for life from the NFL but I am sure the Raiders will take him.  Too soon for a joke?  (Sorry, Turner Family.)

5.  Went to the dentist this morning.  No cavities.  I feel really good about myself.

6.  I love Jimmy Fallon!  Here’s a clip of him and Adam Levine singing impressions… Adam blew me away!  Who knew!?

7.  Caroline came and visited me Sunday morning for a little Sunday Funday!  She has been so busy with school.  It was just so cute that my little sister came to see me!!! I just love having her back!!  It was amazing.  We didn’t take a pic or a selfie or an Instagram or make a blog post out of it.  Crazy.

8.  I feel like I should leave you with something inspirational… something to ponder about…

Happy Monday!
