This weekend was home made waffles and glasses and thrift shopping. It was finding out that one of my best friends in the world will be moving into a beautiful house five blocks away from me. It was scheming about meeting up for ice cream and lemon aid and bike rides. It wasn’t a blazer, but it was a cheesy Christmas cardigan. It was being woken up by the puppies at 5 AM on a Saturday, followed by seven puppy accidents in the house before noon, and blankets and boots and jumping through the snow.
It was planning holidays for next year and weighing the benefits of staying with my current work for another year so we can take two holidays next year (and finally get a honeymoon!!) versus perusing more challenging work. It was not receiving my SIN card of birth certificate back in the mail, which canceled our post-Christmas trip to Minneapolis. It was old fashioned mail.
This weekend was Mister falling down the stairs and hurting himself, it was limping and hopping and icing and concern. It was losing our internet connection on Saturday morning and not regaining it until 7:58 AM on Monday. It was French fashion magazines, making butter tarts, and shopping for Christmas cookie supplies. It was dinner out and a late night run down town to buy presents for each other. It was puppies barrleing upstairs to find me and leaping over a foot into the air when they found me.
It was too cold. It was almost Christmas. It was kind of perfect.

And the glasses are adorable.
I love the glasses!
Yummmmmmm! I want some!
PS- You’re adorable with those glasses!
I’m glad to see that the interwebs have come home. I tend to get the shakes after 24 hours without it. Sad, I know.
and I concur–bitchin’ glasses.
Love the bangs.
Love the glasses.
Sounds like quite an interesting weekend!
Hope you guys are staying warm… it’s 9 F here and I’m freezing. I can’t imagine how you do it :)
You are so damn pretty!

New glasses are so pretty (as are you, my dear).
What a fantastic weekend–minus the loss of the internet connection. Great new glasses.

I LOVE this post.
The cookies look super yum.
other than the accidents and your husbie’s little fall, it sounds absolutely perfect indeed!
Sounds like a wonderful weekend! Love your new glasses and hair! CUTE!
Your weekend sound very eventful; I hope your husband is okay from the fall! Oh & those waffles are making my mouth water…
And now I am in the mood for breakfast food! It sounds like you had a very rich, comfortable weekend, except for that fall and the limps!
I’m joining the chorus of glasses-lovers – so cute! If I needed glasses I would def wear frames similar to that.
i wish my bangs would look like that!! i too love the glasses :-)
OMG. Kyla, I LOVE your eyes!!! The glasses are awesome too.
Things I need…
1. homemade waffles
2. some new glasses like yours
3. more Kyla Bea. I know we talked about this before, but you and the Mister should just move closer. I mean, what’s a couple more provinces to the west?!!
That does sound perfect, minus the hubby’s ouchie. I had a rather nice weekend too. Finished up Christmas craziness and cleaned the entire house. Made some cookies and reorganized my closet so I can actually get to my winter stuff (what a novel idea!) Got some wedding planning out of the way (scheduled a cake tasting and meeting with photographer) and stayed in my pajamas all day Saturday–minus the ten minutes it took us to get a bucket of chicken. mmm.
What a weekend! The pic of the waffles reminds me of the perfect weekend morning and the glasses…well the glasses are adorable. Just like you!
I saw the picture of the waffles and then didn’t concentrate so much on what you wrote mainly because I WANT THOSE WAFFLES! They just look so tasty.
And love the glasses!
Love the glasses! I’m also super jealous of you life… it always sounds so lovely x
I GET TO LIVE 5 BLOCKS AWAY FROM YOU!!!! :) :) :) I am so ridiculously excited. I can be baking cookies and run out of sugar and it’ll all be fine because you’ll be FIVE BLOCKS AWAY. I can be feeling all Blue Bomber Widow and sad one evening but it’ll all be okay because you’ll be FIVE BLOCKS AWAY. :) Biking and ice cream ALL summer here we come!!!
And I have to join in, that last picture is ridiculously beautiful!!
Waffles and glasses!
Reading this was so happy and cozy, I wanted to curl up with a blanket by a fire (fauxfire?) with hot chocolate and cookies. I’m so ready for Christmas! This was the perfect way to get in the spirit of leaving work for the rest of the week and focusing now on friends and family :) Happy Holidays (all of them!!!)!
Ooh, Kyla! I love the glasses. They are very cute. And your EYES. Make up tips, please. :)
Gorgeous!
I could never pull those glasses off, they look amazing on you. :)
LOVE the specs, kyla. SO CUTE!!
This is such a sweet post! (I’m behind on my reader, and I’m catching up slowly but slowly…) Such. Cute. Glasses. Words can’t do them justice.
