Have a relaxing weekend.
Whew! This has been a terrible-horrible-no-good-very-bad week, and I'm so glad it's over. Alex is making a Trader Joe's run (we always get the exact same things: parmesan, arugula, hummus, etc.), then coming home to watch Mad Men. We're like the two people in the world who haven't seen it, so we're starting from season one. It's so good! Why didn't anyone say anything? :) Well, my sweet readers, I'm taking a deep breath, blowing you a kiss and wishing you a wonderful weekend. Here are a few great posts from around the web...
Homemade brownies.
Wow.
Party in a French town.
I learned how to open Champagne!
Portraits of wise old dogs.
A mama must have designed this T-shirt.
Fabulous-beyond-words wedding dress + wedding guests.
A husband's food art for his wife on bed rest.
Zara is growing up!
P.S. And the big giveaway goes until Monday. Have a good one. xoxo

Mad Men is my favorite show!! Who's your favorite character so far?
Happy weekend...stay calm! :)
Joanna, you are not the only one! I was a Mad Men virgin until last week. I finished Season 1 in a weekend; it's that addictive! Its so funny b/c I thought you would be on the up and up with Mad Men!! Enjoy it. Its pure delicious drama! xo
Oh my gosh - those doggies!!! Love those pictures.
Congrats on the champagne - super neat pics!! Love your red lips!
i love don draper's secretary so far! :)
I wish I watched Mad Men! I should look for it online :)
What else do you get at the store? That seems like a super random grocery list!

I love your face as you realize that you have successfully opened the champagne. Go you!!
peggy is awesome!! i won't give anything away... :)
Ha, my husband was just telling me that we have to start watching Mad Men and start from the beginning tonight! Always enjoy your posts, have a lovely weekend!
Wouldn't you love to take a Mad Men course?

aww that's not too good!
hope you have a beautiful week this week then, and that sounds lovely, much love.xx
You will love Mad Men! That Don Draper gets me every time. We had a season premiere party this year and everyone dressed up (I borrowed vintage accessories from my grandma!) and drank martinis. It was a blast!
P.S. I hope your week gets better and congrats on learning to open a bottle of Champagne :) Cheers!
You are so adorable!! Love the champagne photos!!
yay Mad Men!
Like you I only recently started watching on dvd. I am excited for you to see the "lawnmower episode". Not sure if its season 2 or 3. Anyways, you are going to love it. Enjoy the relaxing weekend.
Have a lovely weekend Joanna! Such kudos for you for keeping a positive outlook during a tough week-we can all learn a lesson there.

my husband & i started watching season 1 of mad men over the summer! we'd have mad men marathons :) we just finished season 3 & we're definitely hooked!
You must start from Season 1 and you will adore it! It is so smart, so clever: just like you! (and Alex too, I can only imagine) I don't watch much tele, but Mad Men tops my list...
Eventually, you will be addicted to Sunday evenings at 10pm just like me... :)
Cheers,
Elena
Girl, until you've opened a bottle of bubbly with a saber, you've never opened a bottle of champagne. That's living life to the fullest.
haha, deanna, there is definitely a story there :)
I love mad men. Season 2 gets juicy!
aaw, love the napping kitty! i've never seen mad men, either. maybe i should start...? fantastic weekend post as always!
My week was terrible too! I thought I was the only one! Nope, apparently it's universal . . .
We sound SO much alike in this post! My husband and I had a horrible week that involved way too much working. We just came home from Trader Joe's, put the baby to bed, and plan to watch Madmen this eve! hahaha. We only just started watching it a couple of months ago (slowly) and are in the middle of season 2.
Great minds think alike, eh?
Enjoy your evening!

It's so funny you haven't seen Mad Men, because I actually found out about it through your blog, two years ago or so. I think you were asking people to suggest a good show for your sister to watch, and everyone in the comments said Mad Men.
Now it's my absolute favorite show, so thank you!!
cool pics ;)
A relaxing weekend sounds good.
Mad Men is one of my favorite shows!
Enjoy Mad Men & hummous - I hope your colds are all getting better!
the story + pics of the food art is so adorable, thanks for sharing.
enjoy Mad Men, such a great show and perfect styling inspiration.
I've never wtached that show either, maybe I should!

Ohh, so nice picture of cat...
Wish you great weekend as well !!!
Happy weekend, Joanna! Hope you feel much better. Colds are horrid. Mad Men is the best TV show ever, just wait til you get to Season 4! x
Mad Men!! Love it!! I started it a few weeks ago & I'm on Season 2 now. I have no idea why I've waited so long to watch...best show ever!
enjoy!
Nope, there were 4 people left, me and my husband as well. But, people have been telling me.
Big fan of Trader Joes, they have the cheapest Boursin.
Hope this weekend will bring a more peaceful week to you! I just got back from Amsterdam and that bike is making me wish I was still there...riding over and over all the canals, perfection! Have a dreamy weekend Joanna!
Julie
HA! that's EXACTLY the same thought I had when I read that new york article this week....
OMG! My wedding photographer took the wedding dress pics! We just got married on 2 October, so I can't wait to see the end result! :)
So glad you're starting on Mad Men. Can't wait to pick it apart with you!
have a great weekend too!:)
you're a sweetheart!

Love your reference to Alexander. That was one of my favorite books growing up, and I still keep it in the bookshelf for those very bad days. Hope the weekend is better. (They always are.)
Love the links! Esp the food art. How sweet. My boyfriend and I were new to Mad Men as well, but we have been watching long distance together and we love it!! So worth catching up no matter how far behind you are. Feel better!
i also have never seen mad men! and i love snacks from trader joes, especially their peanut butter cups! i prefer them over reese's!
the food art made me cry, no joke. i'd like to keep following the story. i hope everything goes well for them!
feel better and have a great weekend.
I just started season 1 of Mad Men too! Isn't it exciting to know that you have so many episodes to look forward to?!
JO, what is this mad men thing? I've not seen it, either? Currently obsessed with Gilmore Girls.
yeeaay finaly, mad men! I can't wait to hear what you think about the show! you must also be careful that no one spills any spoilers to you by accident! {i just caught myself from saying something about Don's secretary cause I forgot you were at the beginning of the first season). happy weekend! xx ps. how's toby feeling?
MM is the best! It is such eye candy too. Have a great weekend.
I'm with you on Mad Men! I bought the first two seasons for my 1 year anniversary with my boyfriend - we're starting from the beginning too :)
Mad Men. Well, lots of us have said:) But I am glad you're starting from beginning. For those who do not have cable, listen up.
I don't have it either, but you can buy a season pass (or one episode at a time) via iTunes (& a few other places). It downloads in your queue after it's shown on the West Coast. This is how friends of mine overseas watch it too. (Unless in the UK, where it's about 4 weeks behind here.)
For those who will be in NYC & see this...my favorite (& the best connected) Mad Men blog is Basket of Kisses. They're having a free finale party in Manhattan. Always be careful about reading it if you've not seen the latest episode. But you can go to the front page & click on Season, then Episode #. If you follow the spoiler alerts (they're good about this), then you can be highly entertained.
The Lipp Sisters who handle the blog have great "gets" - including Matt Weiner, creator of the show. Highly recommend. And I wish I were to be in NYC this weekend; alas, I am stuck in DC.
Hope colds get better at the Goddard-Williams pad. Everyone else, I hope you have a relaxing & peaceful weekend, too.
ciao-meow
A good weekend to you too. Relax from the stress ;)

I LOVE MAD MEN!

so much fun coming to visit you here!
Have a fabulous week ahead of you...forget about the last bad week okay.
hugs
Great post as always..love Mad Men...have a great weekend as well!

We just finished season 3, after an obsessive "let's try to catch up with the rest of the world" Mad-Men-a-thon! That's what we've been doing on our date nights :)
Hummus, arugula and parm from TJ's does not sound random to me at all, they're on my usual rotation, too. Their Tuscan White Bean hummus is so delicious. We buy those olive oil wheat tortillas and make wraps with hummus, arugula and sliced muenster.
You're such a lovely, special person that I can wholeheartedly assume the bad week was an anomaly and is far behind you by now...Enjoy your weekend!
P.S. Would love to hear more about what your usuals at Trader Joe's! Could you incorporate this into a post of all of us fellow TJ's fans? Pretty please?
Ohh those dogs look adorable:) I have two and my older is over 8 years old but he acts like he would be 18 years old....hahah...He loves the attention:)
Have a great weekend, Joanna
Oh darling, so sorry to hear it's been one of those weeks. Hope you and the boys have a lovely, snuggly weekend together and feel happier soon.
P.S. I've never seen Mad Men either but I'm dying to start from the beginning!!

Ooo! You'll love Mad Men! We are watching the first couple seasons again right now!
Your night sounds wonderful and relaxing!
As always, your blog is a joy!
AHA! So, I've figured it out. You and Alex must be the ones competing with my boyfriend and I for the season 1 Mad Men CD's! Sometimes, when we go to order them, they take a few days to arrive. We've also started watching it from season 1!
Thank you for the links. I particularly loved the one with the older dogs.
love your blog!
for me a busy weekend........courage))
Hi Joanna - I love your posts. I too am "very caught up in my European lineage" and I don't find being proud of where your family came from to be a bad thing whatsoever. :] I am aware that no one's life is perfect, but I love that your posts are always positive. Great energy! :]
that picture of the kitty is soo cute! I wish I could stay like thaty all the weekend but I have to study =(
WOW Zara does look very sleek and sexy! Did you see the coats that Jill Sander did for Uniqlo??
http://bodieandfou.blogspot.com/2010/10/want.html
They are stunning and I could help getting the bottom right one + a gorgeous blazer
lady i hope you are all feeling better and getting over your colds! thank goodness for husbands making trader joes runs for the essentials. he should pick up some joe joes too. those are the BEST. have a lovely weekend.
hey I guess I know better when you say "terrible-horrible-no-good-very-bad week".
Definitely your weekend wish was more than required..love the links
Good reading your blog.
Pick me for your giveaway! Me, me, over here! I love the website, everything in one place! Things I like on the site... everything?!
thank you, hollie! :) yes, i'm really proud of being british; it's a huge part of my family/life/childhood and a big part of my identity. i am always so irked by Anonymous leaving mean comments without ever standing behind them!
That cat is too lucky to have a loving and caring master. :-)
The bf and I are on season 4, except we haven't watched any new episodes for 8 weeks now... I think the season has already ended! But we're catching up again and you'll see, it'll only get better and better. Enjoy! :)
love Mad Men

Oh MAD MEN...
Then you're off to a great weekend...for sure:)
love the kids t-shirt!

Joanna, I watched the season 4 finale of mad men last night. It was soooo good! I couldn't sleep, I went back downstairs and watched it again. shock & awe. I don't know what to think, I'm pesting co-workers all day today to talk about it with me. LOVE mad men!
http://www.jimspancakes.com/
So cute. Reminds me of food art.
sorry your week was so blah. hope today is better!
yah! im glad you have started watching mad men. season 4 is ammmmazing!
hope you feel better!
Huge Mad Men fan here. Love it. Its better getting the box set and then you can plough through a whole season in a couple of days without having to wait for each week to roll round.
I am so putting Mad men on my chrimbo list! x
Mad Men is so good. I just started the series as well, and I obsessed. Just don't make the same mistake I did and accidentally read an article about it and get a HUGE spoiler! So upsetting!
Love the Champagne post. I didn't have a saber lying around the kitchen, so had to use a regular kitchen knife.

photo with a kitty = WIN. I want a black and white kitty so badly. And one that lays on it's back exposing it's belly is definitely a plus. Hope this week is better for you!

Quite worthwhile information, lots of thanks for your post.
Christian Louboutin Lady Peep Red Patent Leather Platform Pumps are expensive, and with reason. The quality of a good pair of leather shoes is such that care was taken in the manufacture to present you, the customer, with the finest footwear your money can buy, though often shoes don't stay as good as new because of owner neglect, and many of the tips below are given for those who care for their Christian Louboutin Rolando 120mm Black Patent Leather Pumps
but that need advice that will make their new appearance last longer, and prolong the life of their shoes, making them even better value for money.
With Christian Louboutin shoes on sale
and boots, there are several choices for new shoes. If the shoes are of colored leather, then you have a choice of buying a color specific polish, or a transparent polish. The advantages and disadvantages are twofold in reality. If you use a clear protection, the shoes retain their original color, though can get scuffed. By using a color specific polish, designer shoes outlet will enable you to hide those scuffs and to keep the leather supple.
Excellent post.Quite interesting one.
Thanks for this article. It's just what I was searching for. I am always interested in this subject.
