A few weeks ago, darling Laicie of 1000 Threads shared 5 random facts about herself, and since my long-time readers can probably guess what I was up to this weekend (Indian food Friday, chai lattes and empanadas on Saturday morning, a cozy night in, Sunday brunch with girlfriends...) I thought I'd take her up her invitation to share a bit more about myself! 


I'm crazy about the holidays–we're talking about Mele Kalikimaka playing in July and the first round of gifts arriving shortly after–but my favorite thing about this season is a new tradition. John gets us tickets to San Francisco Ballet's The Nutcracker, and the ballerina in me gets to relive the thrill of rosin and pink satin ribbons!

John and I almost adopted a French bulldog this year, but things fell through; I was crushed.

In high school, I was a member and later musical director of an all-girls a cappella group, The Cat's Meow. Each spring, we'd serenade new members, and I still have the pink cat pajamas bottoms I was wearing for good luck on the night I was sung in as a freshman.

My weekend posts have made me realize how much I love a good routine–and encourage me to break out of it every so often.

I am an excellent animal impersonator.


Now that I've shared 5 random facts about myself, I'm dying to hear some of yours; tell me something, anything I'd be surprised to learn about you!

  3. I loved learning a bit more about you, Lena! The a cappella group sounds like so much fun, and you're welcome to borrow Toby as much as you'd like until you get your own little fur ball :-)

  4. The French bulldog failed adoption made me sad. Are you going to try to adopt again? But you made me laugh with the animal impersonator comment. What is your best impersonation? :-)

  7. Eee I love this! I'm so glad you did it... and I'm so sad you missed out on adopting a little bulldog. :( Maybe it was meant to be and you'll have an even better opportunity later!! Also -- I ALSO was a member of an all-girls a cappella group in high school haha. I swear, lady... we were meant to be best friends. :)
