What a lovely break...

This week was wonderful....I wish I could be independently wealthy so every day could be like Spring Break or Summer Break. But, I 'spose if I could do this everyday it wouldn't be quite as lovely.

Here's a little glimps into my week....

I woke up without an alarm clock and I stayed in bed for just a little bit longer. Went to the gym and took my time. Relaxed in the steam room until I was toasty warm. Perused the thrift store for some timeless treasures. Ate the best spring rolls from Suwanna Cafe. Listened to Tracy Chapman (ok...sang really loud with Tracy) and watched an entire season of Weeds. It doesn't get any better than this.

Here's a little glimps into Adam's week...

Flew to Washington where he and his dad rented a car and drove to Reno. They stayed at the Peppermille (best food in the world!) and did a lot of gambling. Driving back to Washington they stopped at a few coastal towns in Oregon that he says were goregous (I can't wait to go there this summer!).

Now we're back to the grind. It's just a quick few months until summer. We're starting to plan our summer travels-I can't wait to get out of here and see some sunshine, visit family & watch Josh & Erin get married. Here's a sneak peak of my bridesmaid attire...

old treasures become new

I've been in a cleaning frenzy this week and have found new treasures (and lots of old junk!!!). I found Adam's VW plate in one of our junk drawers and felt bad that something so cool was hiding in a drawer. I also found one of our wedding presents hiding in our closet (what a beautiful candle holder!!) as well as all of the bottle caps our friends have been saving whenever they're at our house (yes, it really was our FRIENDS who drank all those beers!!). So, I took all those treasures and came up with this fun and colorful display case. I think the hubby will LOVE it!

Hello Spring!

The first day of spring came in with a bang! It was sunny and gorgeous here in Juneau. Here's how I spent my springy weekend.
*Woke up bright and early to take Adam to the airport. He's in Reno right now and having a wonderful time with his dad.

*Made yummy banana cinnamon pancakes with my monkey spatula.

*Headed out to sell my jewelry with friends at the craft fair.

*Took these two cute pups out for a walk

*Gave this pup a little lovin' since his mommy is gone.

What a nice start to Spring!

White Trash Birthday Bash

FINALLY got my pictures developed from my White Trash Birthday Bash! We had a great time dressing up, hanging out in Kat's garage, hula hooping and eating incredibly unhealthy food! Self portraits are hard without digital!!! Love the rockin' red though!

Must have Easy Cheese at a white trash party!!!

Yes, Jos is washing his cup in Kat's washing machine...

Yummy food!!!

Hula hooping fun!

Don't worry mom & dad...I didn't drink that whole bottle! Aren't our jackets awesome?

I love this picture of me and Molly =)

I have no idea what my Stephie friend is doing =)

Wow, that flash is bright!

Don't you just love the cake my hubby decorated for me?

Busy busy busy...

Wow! What a week! This week has been filled with fun but has been busy! Adam leaves tomorrow morning to spend a week with his dad. He's meeting him in Washington and they're going to drive to Reno for 4 days where they'll relax and enjoy some gambling. From there they'll decide if they want to stay in Reno or explore elsewhere. I'll miss him while he's gone but am excited for him to have some boy time with his dad.


I've been frantically getting ready for the long awaited craft fair. With it being my first craft fair I've been struggling with the logistics of it all. I know it'll be great but the little planner in me keeps thinking and thinking and thinking!


Adam and I have also been planning our summer travels! Our plan is to take a 1 and a half day cruise (on board one of the fine Alaska Marine Highway ferries ;-) ) to Prince Reupert with our car and dog. From there we'll spend some time with Adam's dad and take a road trip. Our ultimate goal would be to make it to Maine but we're just going to see what happens. We'll have to be in Colorado for my brother's wedding in July!

I finally renewed my gym membership and it's been great. I've been there almost every day this week and feel really good. Hopefully, I can keep this up and lose a little weight =)

Tuesday's jewelry class included 3 different students (including a boy!!). We made necklaces this week and had a great time. I brought in some junk jewelry and they tore it apart and made new items. I was really impressed at how crafty they were with the old junky jewelry!

I'm looking forward to Spring Break! I plan on sleeping in, reading, watching t.v., thrifting, working out, enjoying wine with girl friends, snuggling with Rosco and HOPEFULLY enjoying a little sunshine (please, please, please weather god!!!).
