Okay, so once again I was bad and did not post last week. I need to stop being busy. And sick. Strep throat is no fun. Anyway. Here we go!

Found this baby bird on our deck in the backyard one afternoon. I think it's a mourning dove? Maybe?

C and I were out walking one day around sunset and her hair was looking especially vibrant in the sunlight, especially through my sunglasses. In an attempt to show her, I took a this picture by putting my sunglasses in front of the camera lens on my phone. Looks pretty cool, but I swear it looked even more vibrant in person.

I have no idea what's going on here. But it looks cool.

Guess who still knows how to make a Cootie Catcher/Fortune Teller? That's right, Me! Who's impressed?

Having some fun with the panorama function on my iPhone at the Sox game. As a side note, I have no idea why R looks so unhappy here.
In case anyone was wondering, my foot WAS at the game with me. Yep.

I am so taking Mom to Cooper's Hawk for brunch on Mother's Day. Wine with breakfast? Sign me up!

Went prop shopping for work. Yay props!

Another prop. I really want to open this thing up and put a baby in it. How cute would that be???

My epic Gilmore Girls night dinner. Pizza, Chinese Food, and Pop tarts. A meal fit for any Gilmore Girl. Except maybe Emily.


Weeks later, R found the missing chunk to C's sunglasses! We all thought Kirby ate it, so this is very exciting. We are going to try to reattach it with super glue.





That's all for this week! Maybe I'll actually update next week. Maybe.

Okay, so I was really busy last week and didn't post anything. So here are pictures from the last two weeks!!!

This has got to be the cutest stuffed animal ever.

Kirby was bad and chewed up C's sunglasses.

And he said he was sorry, but they were tasty.

I got these super cute shoes at Famous Footwear for $5!

I made R buy a bow tie, and I think it looks really good!

My fabulous friend A totally photo-bombed my cheese picture.

The $5 shoes look great with my pink coat.

Need a diffuser in a pinch? A rubbing alcohol bottle will work!

Snow in April?!?

Arguably the best OJ ever.

Kirby's Barkbox came this week, and he was a big fan of this bone.
Woke up Saturday morning to find my yard covered in snow!

R and I went to the beach near our future apartment, and I had to stick my feet in the water. Was the water freezing? Yes. But anyone who knows me knows that I cannot go to the beach and not stick my feet in the water. In case anyone is wondering, this picture was in fact taken the same day as the previous picture with the snow in our yard. Gotta love that Chicago weather!!!

I've recently become really interested in this whole "weekly iPhone dump" trend. So many people have cell phones these days, and we're all using them to photograph the world around us. I think you can tell a lot about a person by the pictures on their phones. My own phone has so many pictures on it, that while on vacation recently, I had to delete some apps off of my phone to make room for more pictures. I will definitely be getting the 64GB iPhone next time. Anyway, here it is. My life in pictures. Thanks to Photo Stream, posting these pictures is easier than ever. I'm going to try to post at least once a week. We'll see how that goes. This week, I'm posting a few select photos from the past few months.


The Space Needle at night. Pretty awesome in my opinion.

The most amazing blueberry scone ever. Seriously.

I always think it's ridiculous when people use this phrase. It made me laugh when I saw it on this sign though.
I'm pretty sure this breakfast cost me like $25. It was worth every penny. (Dungeness Crab Benedict)

I sent this as a Snapchat to a few friends. Kirby looks so ferocious. 


Banana pancakes! Found these on Pinterest. Throw a banana and two eggs in a blender, and you've magically got pancake batter. Try it! It works!

I have no idea why I took this picture. In fact, I don't even remember taking it. But it looks cool. 

Adventures in smoothie-making.
P.S. I love my Ninja Blender.

Coffee!

Love this picture of Zoe.

Kirby being silly.

I just really liked the bubbles.

This wine is only $3.99 and it is amazing. If you ever see it at Trader Joes, BUY IT.

This cake was made of awesome. Best birthday cake ever! (Thanks, Catherine!)

Posted this picture on Facebook with the caption "Some things just taste better when they're rainbow colored"

The aftermath of my Easter egg dying party. I just thought the colors were so pretty.

Tried out these new manicure sticker things. Got lots of compliments from little girls at work.

I have recently become addicted to Clementines. I tried to share one with Kirby, but he wasn't sure what to do with it.

Sent this picture to C in a text saying, "This machine totally made my day"

Daffodils make me so happy.

I tried putting milk in my coffee the other day. It was disgusting and I will never do it again. At least I got this cool picture out of it.

Crash involving an ambulance and a school bus. There was a lot of damage, but no one appeared to be injured.

Kirby always looks so pathetic when he's getting a bath.

Fun with Pocketbooth.


That's all for this week!
