Going baby pink all over is something i've been wanting to do for awhile with my hair. I've secretly been stashing pictures from the internet of gals that have done it (or wigs) and i rediscovered them about a month ago and decided since I'm planning on going dark the beginning of May I thought I might as well go for the pink while i have the plain palette. So here it is. I'll probably be keeping it for a couple weeks... just in time for easter, yeah? It's fun to have. Little girls everywhere want to talk to me now.

I took these pictures yesterday right before heading out to lunch with chelsea and another lovely (blog-less) lady. We ate at blossoming lotus, then after talking about how we should cut back on sugar, we decided nah, forget it and went to get some frozen yogurt. It was the best i've had in a long time.. red velvet mixed with peanut butter with lots of mochi of course. Then we shopped around at some local vintage shops. Pretty perfect afternoon, yes?

breakfast

I cannot stop eating these two things for breakfast (not at the same time..eww)

breakfast number 1: greek yogurt, walnuts, sprinkle of chocolate chips (okay, those aren't the healthiest but it doesn't hurt.) My sister turned me on to this yogurt combo and its to die for.

breakfast number 2: toast, sunflower seed butter, banana.
sunflower seed butter is one of my favorite things in the world right now.. i eat it daily and go through a jar a month. its like peanut butter but way better somehow.

p.s.

i finally did something i've been dying to do forever. more pictures soon..

new home

i FINALLY got internet at the new place... hooray!

it's crazy how much i've missed blogging on a regular basis.. but i'm so so happy to be in my own place with all my own stuff.. making meals and feeling normal again! I'm still working on getting everything unpacked and set-up and decorated.. but since i've been working 50 hour weeks the past few weeks i haven't had much time to do so. i'm going down to 32 hours from here on out (50 is way too much! holy cow, i'm tired) so i can finally catch up on everything i've been behind on and get into a better routine as far as spacing out free time for my hobbies. yay!
so expect to see lots of stuff soon, as i feel the need to make up for lost time.

some photos from the last week..

daily (and giveaway winner..)

Happy monday! I'm here yet again with another phone photo dump of anything/everything i've been up to. I've been super busy with work and other things, which (as i was telling josh tonight) has made me feel like i'm behind on LIFE. I haven't even been grocery shopping in a few weeks! One thing i have done is found a little house to rent.. i've been apartment/house/anything hunting the past few weeks, and it was pure torture.. (i'd rather do anything else in the world). But I finally found us a cute (tiny) little house in an area i loved and we'll be moving in wednesday (hopefully!). It'll be so nice to have all my stuff in one place and feel somewhat normal again. So if you've stuck around in these past few months of nonsense posting, i appreciate it.. and i'll be back to a regular posting schedule soon with lots of craftiness and food and REAL pictures.

a delicious combo

Hey guys,

I'm guest blogging again for the spring fling! Hop on over to sunshine and carousels for a healthy juice recipe to welcome spring. This is my favorite juice recipe so far... (i love juicing!)

While you're there, be sure to check out the rest of the spring fling posts. Thanks again Erin for inviting me to be a part of it!

4 days with josh (image heavy!)

i had an amazing (but way too short) time with josh when he was in town for 4 days last week. we were so busy.. which probably made it fly by even faster. i haven't touched my real camera in weeks.. but i took about 50 pictures on my phone. here are a few:

friday:

i worked for a few hours in the morning, then a few of us went to lunch then headed to portland to get ready for the show that night. we ate loads of gummy bears and tried to toss them up in the air and catch them in our mouths. i laughed harder than i have in a long time.. it was hilarious. and i fell down while trying to catch one. so graceful. (i also couldn't get over the 20+ boxes of debbie cakes in the van...)

saturday: i had to work again in the morning. as soon as i got off, i hopped in the van and we took off for seattle. vanessa and i "head banged" to songs in the van.. (hello sore necks!). and after the show we all danced like crazy to andrew w. k. songs while packing everything up. (video of that to come!)

sunday:
we went to red robin for patricks birthday, went to a mall to pass time before going to church, afterwards the guys went to a movie while vanessa and i did a rush shop job at trader joes and met with chelsea for frozen yogurt. then we went to voodoo for some birthday doughnuts and hung out until almost 4am, when they had to leave to drive to montana.

i was in heaven the entire time.. which made it a bajillion times harder to say goodbye. yes.. A BAJILLION. man alive.. is it hard!
