Feeling Creative

A few days ago I wrote about my addiction to Pintrest and how awesome it is but this site is changing my life. All of a sudden I have this immense amount of information and images of projects and parties and design and decorating and architecture and style and just color and texture. And with it comes this extremely effective way to organize all this information and keep track of these things with very little effort. I'm feeling so inspired in regards to everything. I want to make stationery, throw endless parties, paint, wear my hair in something other than a messy bun, I want to design a whole entire house and decorate every single corner of it. I want to visit Spain and Greece and Italy. And I all of a sudden have such a passion for all of these things.

If I were the kind of person who flit from thing to thing I would feel excited right now but also know this was likely a phase. Instead I feel a genuine change happening. Trust me, I realize how silly this sounds, but I'm starting to picture myself gardening or buying a house or...building things. It's crazy.

These are some of the things inspiring me right now but really, it's just a tip of the iceberg.

Inspiration

I'm back!

It's been forever since I've written anything. I think partly because I have so much to write I don't know where to begin. I want to write about my vacation and birthday but I just downloaded the photos from my camera and at first glance it was a tad overwhelming. I need to get my thoughts together on that one. I will say it was amazing though.

Even though I don't have super exciting birthday news for you today I do have super exciting new obsession news. Pinterest. I know some of you have it because we follow each other but for those of you who don't...get it. And let's be friends. The whole thing looks a bit overwhelming at first glance but it basically comes down to being virtual inspiration boards/a way to organize images and information online. You "pin" things from around the web to any number of boards you create. You can also pin things that other people have posted so it becomes a great way to inspire each other as well. Check it out...

That's Gay

Pride was this past weekend. Some friends and I went to the parade Sunday morning followed by lunch on the patio of a nearby restaurant. These were some of my favorite moments.

Warm Weather Weekend

This weekend was perfect. It was sunny and warm but there was a breeze, I have the most perfect dog ever, I worked my first class at Sur la Table, I went to the Farmers Market, had three different wonderful meals while sitting outside with my pup at my feet...it made me so excited for summer.

Saturday I took one of the girls I used to watch, and Tiger, to the Farmer's Market. Tiger hasn't had his last shot yet and I'm trying to be careful about him being near other dogs so I just carried him the whole time. He seemed to love it though. After that we went out to brunch at this little Italian place nearby and I had rosemary polenta topped with Gruyere and poached eggs with a side of steamed broccoli. I can't tell you how awesome it was and I can't wait to try out making it myself.

Tiger is becoming such a good car dog.

He's also super good at going out to lunch.

Next we went to check out a doggie daycare then got frozen yogurt. I got watermelon topped with fresh strawberries. I am now addicted. We went to a place called UU Yogurt (I don't get the name either) and they have a whole freezer full of little cups of special doggie frozen yogurt topped with an organic, gluten free, heart shaped dog treat. So obviously we needed that.




After that I took Munchkin home and met Craig at a park near where we live. Tiger was blanket bound but at least he got some fresh air. And we definitely suffered the wrath of puppy teeth.






Sunday morning I worked my first class at Sur la Table! It was an artisan breads class and I loved it. It was a lot of hard work but also so enjoyable and I already learned a lot. I have a feeling this is going to be incredibly good for me. Plus I got to take home leftover fresh made focaccia and baguette bread. Delicious.

The rest of Sunday was spent doing nothing but eating nachos and watching DVRed TV. So, basically, perfectly.

And today is take your puppy to work day!
