{A little Christmas cheer on the mantle.} I love this time of year. Though I know that the rain, grey and cold weather of January and February are right around the corner, October, November and December are really wonderful. The last several months have been some of the busiest of my life, and December will …

{Picnic on Wednesday night at Kits Beach.} I was expecting this week to be just as busy as the last two but everything converged in a lovely way to give me a week of relative ease! I was done school early everyday which left plenty of time for bike rides around the seawall and lots …

{Temporary (but maybe permanent) 'art' for the front hall entry.} I feel like every week I say how busy the last week was and how grateful I am for the weekend but it's true! The busy weeks make the great moments stand out more and make me grateful for the idle time and for just …

{Relaxing outside with a cup of beer, the sun and N.} Okay, wait. It's Friday again? Really? This week has been so busy that I'd swear I missed it (except that the late nights are starting to catch up with me: exhibit A ... the starting three sentences of this post). I'm really, really looking …

{The sweetest bike parking spot I've ever parked at.} I feel like I'm finally catching my stride after switching from work to school six weeks ago, which means that I've been back to blogging a little more this week. Don't get me wrong, school is intense, but I've started to feel like I can handle …

{The most delicious lemon chiffon pie that a friend brought over for dessert one night.} School is now in full swing for me and frankly one of the last things I want to do after a day in front of the computer dealing with websites is to come home and blog. As a result, I'm …

{Deer skull and antlers I found while hunting with my dad two years ago that has finally made it's way to my apartment for some type of project. Macabre? Yes. Super rad? Most definitely.} This will be the first weekend in about two months that will be anywhere near normal. The last two months have …

{Beer, chips, tulips and a picnic to celebrate my last day of work.} This has been a weird week and I've attacked it with the aplomb of a sloth. The jet lag that returning from China brought on, is entirely to blame. Today was my last full time day at Echo Memoirs, where I've worked …
