dear self,
as of april 2011, you want to remember the following:
if you grocery shop with elle in tow, no matter how fast you scoot past those greenish tanks, she will invariably ask for a pet lobster. [please continue to tell her no.]

zee’s fourth grade class is sending socks to japan to help clad the feet of students displaced by the earthquake and tsunami. late tuesday night you found a note he penciled to the child receiving his package, and it was cloaked in so much tenderness you had to pop your head into his room to smile at him.
you really need to figure out this wii thing. one of these days bee is going to stop needling you to play fifa soccer, and you will be sad.
em proclaimed sunday’s supper ‘the best pasta ever.’ and it was whole wheat. and it had highly visible spinach, even.
elle refers to this guy as a pineapple plant:

she’s pretty bummed when it turns into a lily every year.
you wake each day to a patient, funny husband, happy kids, a sturdy home. your friends and extended family double-knot your days with warmth, so that even in this puddle of yearning, you are rich.
don’t forget.
love, me.

fifa soccer for the wii?? I must take a look at that! :o)
oh, simply beautiful, loved reading this
p.s.
you are an amazing mom. and many are thankful for your friendship!
I LOVE IT! That's the great thing about blogs, last summer is just a click away, and it's amazing what you forget.
precious, precious things need to be recorded!
lovely, you are such a beautiful writer
Love this. You are so good to write these reminders to yourself. Make me think of all the important things I want to remember from this time too.
ps- I just failed my first attempt at the word verification. Do you know what failing a test - even as inconsequential as a spam filter - does to this type-a girl's heart? Pressing on. But, I might be spam...
wonderful memories to hold on to.
I so love your post. Thanks for sharing :)
Love this.
I'm sorry, Nic. I didn't realize I was signed in under my other acct. Still love this, though. :)
yes you are rich... and I'd like to see what would happen if you did bring home a pet lobster, perhaps of the stuffed animal variety :)
mmmm...i need to write myself one of these. [every month.]
you are a treasure, my friend!
i love writing letters to myself. i'm glad i'm not the only one : ) beautiful
