Food.

This week has been filled with delicious food and dark clothing (still yikes!).

Still wearing my huge infinity scarf too!

If you are local and into yummy food here are the places I have gone this week:

Brave Horse Tavern

Luna Park Cafe

Fresh Bistro

Chaco Canyon Cafe

If you are concerned about my sanity because it is spring and I haven't been wearing any color here are two items that I got in the mail from Modcloth yesterday!

 

 

 What a crazy week.

Mail!

One of the best things in life is opening up your mailbox and seeing an unexpected surprise.

Typically my mailbox is filled with coupons and junk mail but not today.

An actual letter from a faraway friend. I couldn't be happier. So much better than a online message. I even received a little tin of goodies along with the letter.

Growing up we use to draw houses just like this as a plan for our future lives. 

I love that she found this card.

I love my goodies and unexpected surprises.

I think I will start sending fun things to all my faraway friends.

Such an fun way to stay connected.

Do you still use snail mail? What is the best unexpected thing that you received in the mail?

Black.

I am stuck. Every morning I end up wearing a black top of some sort.

Now that it is spring and the sun is finally coming out I need to add some color into my outfits.

Here is what I wore yesterday:

Black tank, black top, black bag, black scarf, and black headband.

Yikes! Please don't get me wrong I love wearing dark/neutral colors, but when it is spring I feel like some color is needed. 

Do you ever get stuck wearing the same color over and over?

Cash.

I can't stop listening to Johnny Cash. It has been a few months of this obsession.

I love his cover of "Personal Jesus".

April

I can't believe another month has gone by. 

This year is going by way too fast. 

(Now if only my unpacking process would do the same.)

Here are my January new years resolutions:
 
1. Read more books. Now that I am out of school I can read the books that I never had time for. My goal is two a month.
2. Get outside more. Simple enough I just need to do it.
3. Eat healthier. More veggies. Less soda and junk. 
4. Get active again. I need to find a fun way to stay in shape that wont drive me crazy. 
5. Spend less money on small things. Spend more money on big things. (like trips!)

Here is my April progress report:
1. I read one, but its a long one! So it should count as two. 
2. Its cold and rainy! I got out on the sunny days. 
3. I have been eating waaay less junk, soda is a whole different topic. Luckily Trader Joe's is only 2 blocks away from me now!
4. I have been out walking around way more. There are so many fun things to walk to in my new neighborhood. I love it.
5. I still need to save up for a camera, but moving is expensive. Yikes.

Please ignore my excuses  for not getting some of these done :) 

Is it summer yet? As much as I love this scarf I am getting tired of needing to wear it.

47-60

Okay, lets be honest for a little while. I could make excuses I could blame it on the move, but there is no one to blame for only have 5 photos of the day for 13 days. Worst part is that I have no idea what day I took them on. Oh well can only go up from here!

Photo of the day ???

This wall is right outside my office. PERFECT spot for future photoshoots.

Photo of the day ??

I made this photo as big as possible so you could see what awesomeness is just a block from my work. Yup, that is right a PSYCHIC BARBER. A two for one deal! Will someone please go here and let me tag along.

Photo of the day ????

I go to El Chupacabra on Alki so often that I have almost run out of things to take photos of. Here is a groovy lamp. I love the color! Dom and I can be considered "regulars" now. They know exactly what we order when we walk in. 

Photo of the day ???

We finally got all of our stuff moved in and I received a call that there was a vintage formica table two blocks down hill from us. So instead of being intelligent I decided to walk, and luckily I have a trooper of a boyfriend/roomate and he tagged along with me. Once I decided that the table was the love of my life we realized we had to walk it up hill for 2 extremely long blocks. I am glad Dan was there to provide comic relief for this situation otherwise I would have been a cranky mess. At least it wasn't raining!

Photo of the day ??????

Just when you think there are no more photo opportunities at El Chupacabra life gives you one. Please note Dom in the background blocking the wind from popping my bubble.

Crazy.

I was innocently sitting around when I received a text from Daniel that said "Heeeeyyyyy" and this:

He looks crazy but it made my day. So I sent him this:

Thinking that was the end of it I went back to enjoying my day until out of nowhere I received this:

So I attacked back with this:

I need these photos framed on my wall asap.

Watch out because the crazies are on the loose.
