Lately…

Breaking down a fresh pineapple…

…to make pineapple banana smoothies, as requested

Saw Maroon 5 (for reasons), but apparently I wasn’t invited to the DIY fan t-shirt making party

I envy Ziggy’s ability to sleep with reckless abandon

Didn’t actually make it to opening day, but I was there in spirit and clothing

Spring has sprung, people! (I hate it when people post screen shots of the weather, but this seemed somehow worthy)

Warm weather music

Trying to live by this motto lately

About to bloom

More spring!  These are next to my front door, so I get a whiff coming and going

Tapas at LaTasca in Chinatown

Lately…

One day I am grilling, then making comfort food the next.  Curse you, unpredictable March weather!

A place in the sun
Turns out rocking the St. Patty’s day shirt was good luck after all!

Finally got to watch “Brave” for the first timeWent with a different company this time for the latest vacation photo book and am VERY pleased!

See that little guy up there?

He is the reason I haven’t been cooking this week.

We started looking for a dog, quite casually, before Christmas.  We’ve been dog-free for a long time.  When our longtime pet died about 7 years ago, I was done.  We were so wrapped up in the kids, we decided to hold off for a while.

But my husband’s been ready…just waiting on me to come around.

He’s here now…Gryffin.  Named in part after the mythological creature/part Harry Potter reference.  And let me tell you, he’s a been a full time job so far.

This weekend we are headed south for warmer temperatures, leaving behind a possible snowstorm (Can you see my happy dance from there?).  In the meantime, I’m leaving you with a mix I made on 8Tracks called Summer.  It’s a collection of songs that remind me of my favorite season-some for obvious reasons, some not.  I listen to it in the winter, too, and am transported  to a warmer time.

Next week my daughter will be taking some time from her blog, A Bohemian Queen, to share with you here.  Not sure what she has in store, but I know it will be awesome.

See you in a couple of weeks.  Stay warm.
