and....we're back!

So you may have noticed that posting was light this week. It's not that I didn't have anything to say, it's that well on Monday I GOT A JOB! and I started today!! that meant that I had two days (TWO DAYS!) to do everything that one has to do when one has a new job (read: shop!). and everything is harder when you have to stop every ten minutes and do this:
Shopping went well and I could talk about that for days, but I will do that later. (seriously, I got so lucky) Right now, I will just share the immense joy that I feel to not only have a job, but a good one. In a good place, with good people, and lots of potential. I'm going to rock the hell out of it. oh, and Husband works there too :) and it's directly across the bridge from Vega. Wait til you see my view.

Wordless Wednesday: Deluxe Edition

Happy...

Yesterday was just a wonderful day. Things that could have just occurred or not occurred turned out excellent. Today I went for a jog and the sun was so warm that I had to take off my hoodie and tie it around my waist. I was running and listening to music to use for dance class and working through some choreography as I trotted down the sidewalk. I might have even thrown in a few jumps :) I probably looked silly to those driving by and maybe one of them is writing on their blog about the girl they saw dancing down the street on their way to lunch.

Valentine's Bling

Oh my goodness, these turned out cute! Yesterday I decided to craft up some heart pasties and had no idea they'd turn out so adorable. I'm pretty sure if God would have had a Joann's nearby, he would have made our boobies sparkly from the start.

*If you must have these or something like these (i have tons of colors) let me know or bop over to strippylongstocking.etsy.com!

Wordless Wednesday

Tease and Tone!!

We had so much fun with this one!!

Beer Adventure Day!

My friend Amory invited us to join her and some friends at a new pub on Friday night and we never made it. When we drink, we take mass transit and that usually limits us to SE or downtown so that we can get home in a reasonably safe and timely manner. ....Unless we go early! We still wanted to try this bar so on Saturday we picked up the bus to downtown and then caught the train going North towards Prost.
Awesomely enough, we missed our stop and had to backtrack a little, but finally made it. It was adorable in there. John was anxiously anticipating his bratwurst after talking all morning about the wiener he was going to eat (wiener, wiener, we never get tired of saying wiener..)
The beers were delicious and they have this cool punch card system where you can win things when you fill up your beer card with 50 punches!!!
Unfortunately, by 1:00, it was apparent that the crowd here wasn't necessarily our crowd and we decided to move on and we strolled a couple blocks to one of our favorite afternoon haunts, Saraveza.
I mean, like we could ever pass any place like this:
Especially, when we know that once inside, we'll get these:

After some beers and another delicious snack (Ritz Crackers, summer sausage, cheese and mustard, and the best chipotle sauce in the world) we headed back towards our side of town.
John had to stop at the office for some emergency work. It's not really an inconvenience when this is where we have to go...
After he finished up work, we made one last stop at the wine bar and then headed towards home...
