busy...

Get it?

So much going on and so much to do!  Vacation is coming up so quickly... stressed and excited!

craft room.

Ahh. Love love love this craft room, and all the creative things used to put it together.  So organized! 

I would love to have a craft room in my house someday.

emotionally...

... exhausted.

foo-gos.

Foo-gos - where a guy makes logos out of food.

I love watermelon and I love the Canucks... so how can I not like this?

turkey day.

Michael sent me a post from this blog and I absolutely love it - a dad "just trying to make some cool pancakes for [his] daughter". 

I remember the Sunday mornings with my mom, standing on a stool in front of the stove, looking into the frying pan, making blueberry pancakes - we got to drop the blueberries into the cooking batter to make faces.  When we got older we started making shapes like letters or Micky Mouse-es (mice?), or whatever we could think of with our imagination and the remaining pancake batter.  Good memories.

Happy turkey day.

"anniversary" brunch.

Brunch at Brown's (with a coupon)!  Eggs benny and waffles split into 1 for each of us :) 

Realized that it was our "1 year anniversary" of living together - very lucky to have such a good friend in my life.

knit & crochet jewelry.

Ahh.  Absolutely love this shop's sterling silver castings of handmade knitting & crocheting to make jewelry.

Too bad it's a bit out of my price range.  Pretty to look at though.

I may have not been a big Apple user, but no one can deny this man was an amazing innovator, and had a huge impact on the techonological world - both directly & indirectly. 

His creativity and drive were so admirable - nothing but respect for him.

genius.

“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”

― Albert Einstein

It's rare that quotes really hit a spot with me, but I really like this one.  Again, it's all about perspective.

crazy stupid love.

Watched this movie with my sister last night and definitely enjoyed it.  A good mix of ups and downs without anything too ridiculous or depressing.

Ryan Gosling is suuuch a beautiful man.  And love love love Emma Stone.
