Just another case of the Mondays...

Yesterday was just one of those days. The wonderful weather from the previous week disappeared without a trace and the rain clouds and chilly temperatures came rolling in...

After skyping with my mom later that evening, I came up with an idea for my next post. Walking through the leather market yesterday, I discovered that Italians will say just about anything to get you to say something or turn around for that matter.

Here are a few of my favorite "pick up lines:"

The conversation went something like this:

"Miss, Miss you dropped something."  I kept walking with my head down--I knew I didn't drop anything. "Miss, Miss you dropped your smile" Clearly he was desperate. So I cracked a smile but continued to look down. "Miss you dropped my heart."

However, one of my all time favorite is, "Ah for you, I give you special price."

Okay, A. It's I will give you a special price and B. I don't particularly care for your silly putty that you can mold into whatever shape you want.

Despite the cold temperatures, my roomies and I continued with our Monday night tradition. Every Monday (well, at least for the past 3), my roomies and I have "family dinner" night. We typically all chip in to buy groceries and prepare a certain part of the meal.

However, last night, Kelly decided to take full control and make homemade meatballs and homemade bruschetta. This was by far one of my favorite meals I have had thus far--including eating out. Everything was perfectly prepared. The pasta was cooked Al dente, which is very common in Italy, and the bruschetta was absolutely amazing!

(Snaps for Kelly)

Ahhh, until next Monday.

 It's my turn to prepare a meal. Any suggestions?

XOXO,
Meggie

Apologies for the short post--it was just one of those days...
