Day 280...

Today was a good day.

After spending a few hours at the St. James Court art festival, we drove to one of the lovely little parks near our apartment and I shot a few frames.

Day 279...

I spent several years in Washington apple country, which taught me to be a bit of an apple snob.

I miss the scent permeating the air in the fall. I miss homemade cider and apple butter.

Earlier this week a co-worker invited me to take an afternoon break and walk down the street to the coffee shop for a cup of cider. The coffee shop carries cider from Huber's.

I'm picky about my apple cider. It has to be perfectly tangy. not too sweet. and just the right amount of spice.

and ohmygawd! it was!

I am officially addicted.

and I've been told Huber's also has the most amazing apple butter. I wish I had some now...it's the perfect crispy-cold morning for toast smothered in apple butter.

Day 278...

One of my favourite quotes:

“No one can pull anyone back from anywhere. You save yourself or you remain unsaved.”  ~ Alice Sebold, Lucky

Day 277...

I love dreams I wake from and just feel happy all day.

Last night, I dreamed again, that I was writing a book.

I'm thinking...maybe...just maybe...you know...perhaps...

maybe my creative mind is trying to tell me something.



I have to go write now. I don't know what it's going to be , but I am apparently writing something. :)

Day 275...

September 2010.

Driving North on I-5 - heading to Everett with Kathi...we saw this:

Day 276...

happenings in my apartment last night...whilst my sweetheart perused Tumblr...

me:  ooh! sweetie! you need to look up Robyn Lawley Eats!
(my sweetie is a foodie and Robyn posts some really beautiful, delicious looking foods)

he starts typing: Rob and Loly...

me: nonono. Robyn. Lawley. l-a-w-l-e-y.

he: Oh.

------

later...

me: ooh! you also need to look up Calming Manatees. (I love manatees.  they're super cute)

he starts typing: Call me Man...

me: What. are. you doing? not "call me manatees! Calm. Ing. Manatees"
ugh. sigh. there's something wrong with you. 

Day 274...

I am sometimes easily amused.  I am often easily amused. I am pretty much always easily amused.

and I tend to have a weakness for annoying bits of internet brilliance.

i.e.

The Badger Song

Weebl and Bob

to name a few.

and then on Friday a co-worker sent me this:

Nom Nom Nom 

and I giggled my silly ass right off. several times. and again later that evening when I made my sweetheart watch it. 

I probably need some sort of intervention.
