My New Favorite Thing

Lately I've been steering toward doing things more hands-on than digitally. I just miss writing! I love writing and drawing and doodling, and I feel like I never ever do it... My handwriting is starting to go down the tubes, and I definitely suck at drawing these days. I started a little journal that I write/doodle in every night. (With a pen and everything!) And I've been on the lookout for a cute little planner or calendar to actually write things in as opposed to having everything on my computers and phone. More specifically, I wanted something cute and fun to keep up with my up-and-coming longarm quilting business. 

So check out this ADORABLE agenda/notebook I got from Anthropologie today! I. Love. It.

I have been a fan of Geninne Zlatkis's watercolors for forever and I just knew this was her work the second I saw it, even though Anthropologie doesn't say that it's her artwork on their site! (I'm not sure why, but that's kind of a bummer, right?) For some reason I've never bought one of her prints, even though I drool over them all the time. I'm really bad about that! I just don't buy myself things that often, I guess. (Changing that!)

There are a bunch of different sections: monthly calendars (you fill in the dates, so you can start using it at any time during the year) weekly calendars, notes, to-do lists, and even a bunch of blank pages in the back. And It's full of adorable little doodles.

It just makes me so happy to look at! Look at this inside cover... just beautiful.

I just love it. Love, love, love! Thanks Geninne for making such pretty things!

Just Me

I've been forgetting about #9 - Take more self portraits. So, here's one from Photo Booth. I think it captures how I've been feeling lately... sunny and relaxed!

Happy Easter :)

Hi! Just wanted to introduce everyone to my true essence:

Daily Photo 72/365 - The Never-Ending Dum Dums

When we first moved into our house, about 4 years ago, I got super excited about having trick-or-treaters come to the door on Halloween. I got a ton of candy, including a huuuuge bag of Dum Dums. Sadly, we only got one doorbell ring the entire night! And it was just a bunch of kids who were barely dressed up and definitely too old to be trick-or-treating. (Damn kids these days...) So, we've had these lollipops for about four years now. I keep them in this pretty glass candy jar on a shelf between the dining room and front room when you first walk in the house. Luckily, my niece eats a few whenever she's over. And it's our friend Josh's mission to finish them off, so he eats them too. Lollipops don't really go bad, right? Haha :) If they're not gone by this Halloween, I'm giving the entire jar of them to the first kids who ring our bell!

Greg has the Same Taste as Himself

I forgot to mention this yesterday! Greg got me the same Valentine's Day card this year as he did a few years back. For some reason, I still had the old card (which is odd because I usually don't keep cards) so I brought it down and showed him. We were cracking up :)

Silly Greg... I love him.

Daily Photo 27/365 - Greg's Lunch

flickr.

Once upon a time, a long long time ago (seriously, a really long time ago) being the good wife that I am, I decided it would be nice to make Greg some of his favorite sandwiches for lunch. To me, making his sandwiches are a huge pain in the butt - they have a million ingredients (turkey, roast beef, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, toast...) And I don't know, I'm happy making him dinner every night, but for some reason it just annoys me to make sandwiches. I guess what I'm trying to say is: the fact that I was making him these sandwiches was a sacrifice.

Nonetheless, I make him these two beautiful, delicious looking sandwiches, stacked high with all of his favorite ingredients... perfectly toasted bread, extra little veggies on the side for a little snack, I probably even poured him a big glass of tea, too. I proudly served him, and after he took a few bites, I asked him how he liked his sandwiches. His Highness replied, "they're fine, but they're in the wrong order. I like the layers of ingredients to be in this order..." and he proceeded to explain this stupid and ridiculous order of ingredients. 

I was pissed. I told him I wasn't going to make him his stupid, complicated sandwiches ever again. And I didn't! Until today. He said he was having a bad day, so I texted him to see if there was anything I could do to help him out and he asked me to make his sandwiches. Ugh! So I begrudgingly made them, without bothering with whatever his magical sandwich ingredient order is. He ate them and didn't say a thing about it :)

He has also learned never to make "this would be really good if..." comments about my dinners. After about 6 of those, I went on strike for a while ;)
