salty crunch

There are some things that we can't predict,
and sometimes that's exactly what we need.

keep a song

This might just be the only completed 

part of our new home, but then again, 

things can always change. I love the detailing

on this table - it was a purchase during our trip 

to the Long Beach Antique Fair (as discussed here)

and made it's mark in my home. It's the first piece 

of real furniture I've ever owned, and guaranteed 

it's going to be with me for a while.

If you've got to indulge, why not do it right? 

For a press trip in Las Vegas a few weeks ago, 

we headed straight for the guilty pleasure - at 

Serendipity, where the claim to fame was all we

really needed to try. With the dry heat, we were 

screaming for more. 

hello, goodbye.

Here are a few snapshots I 

stole before leaving my old home 

of nearly two years. It was

a girlie place, to say the least, but 

just a few blocks from the beach so 

it was hard to complain about anything else.

While it might not look like it, 

this was a total success in my mind 

as it was the first real meal I cooked 

for myself & Josh in our new place. 

There aren't any after pictures worth 

sharing because, well, I was still getting 

used to the oven...but nonetheless this simple 

meal - using Trader Joe's dough, eggs, 

bacon and shredded cheese - was delicious. 

You're a Fool

This ad is beyond adorable, 

and if I didn't already love those

Snickers ice cream bars I would 

go out and eat a few right now. 

Then again, I don't need much to coax 

me into eating more ice cream...

especially with this heat.I'll blame 

the heat, yup.

making time

After being so good for so many days,

the move was much harder than I expected...

especially since we still don't have an internet 

connection. Hopefully I'll finally be back to

 normal next week, fingers crossed. Until then,

 I'm still up for entertainment in other areas-

 like organizing our pictures 

and finally cleaning out my wallet. 

But it's official...I live with a boy.
