recent happenings: no. 6

 

 remember when you were little and your parents used to tell you time went by faster the older you get; well they weren't lying.  march went by in a flash.  another trip to the mountains, celebrating a few birthdays including the boyf's, me and the nightmare girls selling at a new market.  all that and trying to squeeze in some much needed love with george and some downtime watching new girl.  which i'm officially OBSESSED with.  

new girl, how you make my day better.  favorite quote: "i'm going to tap him like a maple tree." ~ jess

outfits: red on red on red

  

this tomatoy orange red has been my favorite shade of red for ages.  finally its been popular the past few season so i've been slowly stocking up on some colored items.  and somehow navy blue has replaced black in my wardrobe.  and i not so secretly like wearing the two together.  i know, i vomited a little in my mouth just saying that.  

its been rainy and snowy around here AGAIN.  this weather is really putty a cramp in my wardrobe.  although i did manage to pull myself together a few times.  outfit one sums up my life motto as of late "throw a denim shirt over it".  voss agrees, it instantly makes an outfit cooler.  lets just say i froze my butt off in outfit two.  but george thought i smelt nice. <3 at first i hated number three, it was one of those days i wish i had just changed into a safety outfit but i was running extra late for the bus so i had to just go with it.  if you follow me on instagram you know i was sulking about it all day. BUT by the end of the day it grew on me.  i also got caught in a torrential downpour on the way home and had to buy one of those plastic old lady rain bonnets.  i think they might be on to something!  now i need to figure out how to turn it into this.

recent happenings: no. 5

the shortest month of the year certainly felt like the longest.  so ready to welcome spring.  george was diagnosed with pancreatitis but he's slowly getting better.  he's lost so much weight and although his appetite is back he's been struggling to put weight on.  just thinking about his ribs protruding out makes me want to cry.  he also hates me for not sharing my flaming hot cheetos with him.  but i've switched him to a raw/dehydrated diet so he's beginning to forgive me.  he also permanently lives in my pendleton blanket.

on a positive note i've been cooking lots of really good food and have been paying the price a the gym. i went snowboarding for the first time and HATED IT.  haha.  least now i know.  i did enjoy the scenery and thats good enough for me.  

sad dog/pre-snowboarding/apple & tomato soup/walk on a rare sunny day/drinks at kushibar/baker/japanese dinner night/family vices/thrifting - now i want a ballerina tattoo/remix @ SAM/more snuggles/more thrifting/green food is always good

well gang we made it through january!  i can only survive this time of year by eating and drinking a little too much.  which means i spend ALOT of time at the gym.  maybe this should be a food blog since i take more photos of what i'm shoving into my mouth.  i did include one lame attempt of photographing my outfit....

finally ate at revel after reading mixed reviews.  some are saying its one of the best new restaurants in seattle others are saying its meh.  i can agree with both.  everything we ate was either really amazing or mediocre.  pork belly pancakes AMAZING, crab/seaweed noodles not worth the sixteen bucks.  their menu changes monthly so i'll definitely give them another try.
