Hi Friends!
Sorry we have not written in a while. We have been quite busy. Last weekend we had an EY pub crawl, but as I put it there was WAY too much “crawling” and not near enough “pubbing” – we walked 6.8 miles and went to 2 pubs, 2 pubs where you had time to drink ½ pint, seriously my legs ached. And of course I was wearing adorable shoes instead of sensible “trainers” as they call them here, so I was begging Burr for a piggy-back ride, to no avail. Since when do you have to be under the age of 12 to get piggy-back rides? I do not remember such a rule!
After the pub crawl we all got invited back to the big bosses house, it was awesome. He had the most amazing back yard with a labradoodle (sp?) I totally want one. And the prettiest arrangement of 12 blue hydrangeas were in their house, ahhh. Then they cooked burgers, hot dogs and had oreos!! I could not stop eating the oreos, how I miss terrible refined sugar – they don’t really have it in food over here.
Sunday we had a football party at the Iliff’s which was fun. Somehow I finagled the manager at the Palm to give me enough ranch dressing for a 14 person salad! It was fantastic – you cannot not have ranch dressing at an American football bash, it was the hit of the party. *
*Side note 1 – I attempted to make ranch dressing, I looked up the ingredients online and it is terrible for you! Its basically mayo and sour cream with some spices….I think I always knew this, but why did I have to know? Darn it.
This week was our 2 year wedding anniversary on Tuesday, however Burr had a work dinner that night and I had a “recruiting” event for junior league, so we are celebrating on Saturday. I’m going to a 2 hour yoga class with some of the junior league recruits! FUN!! Monday night we tried to have a little celebration by trying this frozen yogurt place we heard about. So, I’m all excited thinking I cannot wait for TCBY-like flavors again, well this is SO NOT TCBY. This is for real greek yogurt just frozen. Have you ever had greek yogurt? If you say you like it plain your lying. Because that stuff is terrible. You have to cover it in agava syrup to even swallow it. Needless to say, Burr and I went home without finishing ours’. Thank goodness I ordred grocery delivery at 10pm and I had ordered ice cream, whew saved my palette.
Last night Burr’s fraternity brother, Cameron, was in town. We had him over to our flat for dinner. (Do you remember me saying Burr’s frat bro’s come out of the woodwork in London – serisouly this is like frat bro no. 8 in 6 months!) Anyway that was nice to see him, tonight I cannot wait to sit down and watch GG! (Please tell me Blair has not lost her spice-ness since getting together with Chuck!)
Adios for now,
Anne
