Mary Beth and I did our Fresh Market grocery run during my lunch break. We picked up a little treat of madeleines and we had them with our afternoon tea and, being Proustian aside (or is it actually Proustian if I don't have any associated childhood memories to evoke?), they were very delicious together. Then after dinner I went over to my parents' house to pick up Mary Beth's aaa card (there's always a convoluted thing of them coming, getting lost, found, lost again, etc.; after being initially lost my card was found and I picked it up at Thanksgiving but hers turned up a few days later). My sister had also found these cross-stitches in frames from when I was born. One has my name and a rabbit hanging out in a bed or something and the other has my name and dob and weight and a little baby. So, fun to see these old things. Then back at home I watched a little bit of Two Fat Ladies with Mary Beth on her laptop while she did her nails.
