Yay for the hat from Anthropologie....boo for the mouse in the divey restaurant. You might not know how pathological my fear is, let's just say, to me, Rattatouille was a horror movie. I literally covered my eyes and screamed during some scenes.
that's what we get for eating at the Snow White Restaurant. i'm surprised we did not see more woodland creatures there.
I had to google #13. I thought y'all were there to see history. I couldn't remember any Darjeelings from my history books!
Yankees really and truly don't know anything about marching bands.
Katherine - had to google #13 too!!! glad i wasn't the only one.
it's a Wes Anderson movie. i'm a little disappointed in both of you.
oh great! now i've got to go google wes anderson.
ha ha ha
