Spring (squeal!)

I have done an insane amount of purchasing this week, probably influenced by the magnificent weather we've been having. The truth is there are some projects I've been meaning to complete for, oh, about six months now. I can't wait for everything to arrive.

I'd really love to tell you about what I've been up to but the SUN IS SAYING HI and it'd be rude not to wave back. To the porch I go.

I have thirty minutes left on this hectic, grand Valentines Day to present you with the one I love.

rice krispies: the things you do for love

Jethro and I are celebrating Valentine's today because I have to work Monday. (What do you know, people actually want to go out to dinner to celebrate their love for each other. RUDE.) Kidding.

Anyway, I woke up early so I had time to get some things done before Jethro got home from school. Mainly, I wanted to make him rice krispie treats because they are his fave.

Everything was going good. I was simultaneously ignoring how obnoxiously odd it was to stir marshmallows around in melted butter AND how sticky my hands were.

About this time I am reading the box and being deceived into believing that these treats are so easy that I'll have to make them more often! Lies. The recipe includes only four steps none of which mention to "MAKE SURE YOU COMBINE THE KRISPIES AND MARSHMALLOWS FASTER THAN LIGHT OR YOU ARE SCREWED."

I remained calm and started shoveling the goo into the pan. Except, the goo would not budge. So I dug my hands in, except, that was the worst idea EVER. Sticky hands, magoo.


END PRODUCT: A PILE


It all tastes the same, right?

bedroom inspiration

From the day we moved in I've been wanting to find a lighting solution for our loft. I finally found the answer.


Next obstacle: replicate this for less than $70. The search begins.

wishful thinking

It's that time of the year where I am desperately yearning for a sun tan. My skins all messed up, I feel totally washed out, and I just need some vitamin D.


Yeah? Yeah.
