SNOOP DOGG

sooooo j and i met snoop dogg today!!! i heard he was coming to sign cognac bottles at a local liquor store and we went right over. the line was long and he was veryyyy late but the wait was worth it. i looooove him (as you heard here) i had to avoid the urge to scream "we love you snoop dogg" in the girl from p.i.m.p. remix's voice.

i tweeted this and snoop retweeted meeeee:
@snoopdogg we loved meeting you today !!! this @landycognac is delicious http://twitpic.com/2jtshc

10 THINGS

noticed a few blogs with this up so i thought id follow the trend and tell you 10 things you might not know about me:
1. i pride myself on text message wittiness and get great joy out of each response i send [i always laugh at my own jokes]
2. i sleep with a teddy bear that my dad gave me for valentines day when i was like 4
3. i have ocd tendencies [dont we all?]
4. i have legitimate cravings for french fries and chocolate but i could subsist on arugula [with lemon and shaved parmesan] and veuve clicquot rosé alone
5. im really grateful for the life i live and the people who love me
6. my grandmother passed away in march and ive really been struggling with her death. she means the world to me
7. after a certain hour [around 12am] i only watch the food network on tv
8. im addicted to internet shopping [buying and browsing]
9. people compliment me on the length of my hair so much im scared to cut it
10. i always get colds in the summer time [i have what sounds like pneumonia right now]

MARTHA'S VINEYARD

on sunday i returned from our annual vacation in martha's vineyard. there are always the same delights: family, friends, good beach days, kite flying, mudslides at donovan's reef, sunset dinners at nancy's by the dock, lobster dinners from the net result, leftover lobster omelettes the next morning, lobster rolls from the grace church [none of which i eat because im allergic], shopping in oak bluffs, vineyard haven, and edgartown, coffee from beetle bung or mocha motts, seeing hamburger at giordano's, basil lime gimlets, the bet party [dnice is the dj], obama sightings, morning glory farm etc. but two things really set this year's trip apart for me; 1. we got keys to a private beach [the beach was bought by 20 families in 1950 who own it until 2050 - only 20 coveted keys exist and we were blessed to have one for a few weeks] . the beach is beautiful [and empty!] with no rocks [which are typical on vineyard beaches] and there are beautiful views of the aquinnah cliffs. it was so great that upon arrival my sister changed her bbm status to "nirvana" and hasnt changed it since. 2. the fireworks display this year was amazing. literally the best ive ever seen, which is an accomplishment for a small island.

martha's vineyard,
you give me a gift every year! ill miss you. see you next summer
love, lil bits
