Autumnal Adventures

Can't stop listening to the Avett Brother's new album while soaking up the short pacific northwest autumn.

All Things Yves

All of the Yves I've been fascinated with recently.

Yves Montand

Jacques Yves Cousteau

Yves Saint-Laurent

Our House

My new apartment is far from complete. But here are a few pictures of what things look like so far.

Also.... Welcome to autumn! That wildly unpredictable time of year, where things are not always as they seem.

Today I Am Grateful For..

1. Coming home to my honey already making dinner. Fettuccine alfredo, none the less! And mint chocolate chip ice cream for dessert. I'm so spoiled.

2. Having several hours in the mornings to be by myself, drink my tea and futz around the house. I savor these mornings before I have to go to work, like little gems. I am going to start swimming laps at the Y, which is right down the street!

3. My three day weekend that starts tomorrow! Organizing the house, running errands and a quick trip down to Seattle is in store. I can't wait to have tea and chat with my granny and auntie. And to go to really good thrift stores!

Besties

I think I have been spoiled in recent years with a wealth of phenomenal women as good friends. I'm feeling a little blue from the lack of ladies in my life at the moment. I have a hard time making friends, I think.

Pack 'Em Up. Ship 'Em Out!

My posting has dropped off quite a bit recently as I was homeless for a week, while between leases, and while I have been settling into the new abode. The place isn't perfect, but is loaded with quirky, old house charm. Once I set up a desk with a scanner and whatnot, life will be back to normal.

For now, take a peek at the challah french toast I made myself for breakfast this morning. Small pleasures, people. Small pleasures.
