I know you have anxiously awaited an update to my tablecloth post. We now have a tablecloth, sourced by Andy. I mean, Llamas and Cacti would not necessarily be my first pick for our sort of fall-farmhouse aesthetic, but my number 1 priority with this decision was that I did not make it. And I didn't! Also this tablecloth is hemmed to the right size, not just cut wonky by me, so I am doubly impressed by it.

I am really really enjoying the Peloton, I am sure most of those miles were Peloton related and therefore happened in November & December.
I have some vague fitness goals forming for next year. I will run the Cardiff half, but I am contemplating an outcome goal of "Run the Cardiff Half in 2 hours 10 minutes." I have never run a half faster than 2hr 30 mins. The related process goal would be "train for the half marathon" which I also have never done before... when I ran half marathons I just generally did a fair amount of social running and occasionally ran a half marathon.

We have too many small children to have a christmas tree this year. Here is our very small christmas tree. We told the kids we can only get small presents to fit under it.

Tis the season for holiday cards! We managed to get ours printed and they arrived today, which means some might make it to their destinations before Christmas.
In the spirit of process vs outcome goals, I will consider these cards a process goal. The goal was to make a holiday card. The goal was not, for instance, to have the holiday card contain the names of all of our kids:
I guess when you have this many people in your family it's hard to get all the names onto one card. If I had ordered earlier I could have reprinted. But for now, hopefully no one actually reads the cards, right?
[This is better than when I ordered birth announcements for the twins and spelled one of their names wrong. We did have to reprint before sending. Maybe I should give up on cards...?]
Is Nora the younger twin? In the unlikely event that she sees this years Christmas card after she learns to read, you can always tell her that when you're the youngest of four your parents can't afford to put your whole name on the card. If she's not the youngest...well you'll think of something! 99.9% of the card's recipients won't notice so the outcome is exactly the same as if they'd gotten her full name on the card;-)
ReplyDeleteA half marathon in 2025?????? Yay!!!!!! How fun!!!!
She's actually older twin. For some reason "Audrey and Nora" rolls off the tongue better than "Nora and Audrey" - I think it's the ending a followed by starting A? Either way I wonder if she will get mad someday because I always say/write her name second even though she is 20 minutes older. Other twins will have to let me know (hello San??)
DeleteI love the idea of pay-by-the-letter. I'll tell her that's why she didn't get an H on her name either - No Norah here, just a Nora. O
Thank you for confirming others hopefully will not notice! Fingers crossed for general inattentiveness!
There's also the "love from the" lead-in which kind of makes me think you all introduce yourself with a "the" in front like "THE" Ohio State University. ;-)
ReplyDeleteBut the photo is great! Well done! We haven't even ordered ours yet. December has been rough. - Kat
Well, if anyone is going to be THE Rachel, she's it. ;-P -rachel
DeleteOOps that was my own terrible photo editing skills. but yes, we are THE family! Also I think you should hopefully get a card sent straight from printing so please let me know if US snapfish cut off nora's name like UK snapfish did...
DeleteHaha, oh of course! Lol
DeleteI'll keep an eye out! At this rate you'll be getting yours in February I think. :-D
