Day 182

Today Staples sent me a free gardening set at work!  So random but awesome... can't wait to use it in Emily's sweet little garden :)

Day 181

Beautiful sunset tonight on the bikeride home :)  The moon was awesome too but I didn't even try because it's impossible to capture.

Day 180

Today was one of those days where you're just having too much fun to take photos of any of it.  Bryan and Emily and I went for a long bike ride all around Goleta in the absolutely PERFECT weather, then we had a delicious homemade enchilada feast!  But luckily in the morning I assembled this little Easter basket and it was too cute not to photograph.

Day 179

Today was the greatest!! And I spent the whole thing with these lovely ladies... amazing brunch at Savoy, some quality getting-dirty-gardening time, and finished it off with some wine tasting!  Yes, we do look this cute without showering :)

Day 178

Still dreaming of that best hot chocolate ever... plus I did nothing today!

Day 177

This morning I got to go to work late... it was THE BEST.  Just had a leisurely walk down State street and had a delicious hot chocolate before work... I need to figure out how to not have to work starting at 8am... yeesh!

Day 176

Today I took the bus home from work today for the first time!  It was good.  And it was really warm outside since it's SPRING now, so my walk home from the bus stop was just lovely.

Day 175

Dreaming of Toby today...

Day 174

Fresh peas for lunch!

Day 173

Today was St. Patties Day!! Jenny and I hung around downtown and it was a beautiful day out.  On the way back to my house we played with these ADORABLE little pug puppies... made my week!  I have dog fever... can you tell?

Day 172

Today I biked around and discovered a new coffee shop on upper state!  The iced tea was delicious, and I loved this coffee that they had out.

Day 171

The wildflowers that Hannah planted at my house (her old house) a year ago are finally blooming!  The way the light is makes them look fake... pretty :)

Day 167

This is why I LOVE Snapchat!!

Day 166

Today I went to the French Press and got a snobby but delicious Arnold Palmer.

Day 165

Today was so beautiful!! Bryan and I walked around downtown and enjoyed the sunshine, then got lunch at the Palace, which is this awesome Cajun place that I've actually never been to because it's pretty pricey.  But they have awesome deals at lunch, and my fried chicken salad was amaaaazing :)

Day 164

Today me and Emily and Amelia went to the rock climbing gym!  It was really fun and now my hands hurt... gotta go more!

Day 163

I saw it on Pinterest so I'm trying it... use the tops of green onions and put the bottoms in a jar of water and they grow back!  I'll believe it when I see it.

Day 162

Poor little Jameson got his balls cut off today... I feel bad but the bow is just so darn cute!

Day 161

Today there was a food truck outside of Bryan's work so we had a little lunch date!  It was delicious.  A little slow, but it was only their second time ever being open so it's okay.  I got a grilled cheese - sourdough, brie, mushrooms, and rosemary.  Woah.

Day 160

Wonderful Monday!! I gots my tax returnnnn woohoooo!

Day 159

Made cabbage balls tonight... the reviews were mixed but the cooking and assembly was fun!

Day 158

Today Bryan's mom came up to visit and we did all sorts of fun stuff!  First we went to Stella Mare, which is this adorable and delicious french restaurant next to the little lake/bird preserve thing at the zoo.  I'd never been there before and it was great!  Then we went to the beach at El Capitan State Park and did some serious boogie boarding!!  I love boogie boarding.  The beach was beautiful and misty.  We caught a bunch of waves and then got out because a group of sea lions was swimming really close to us and it was a little bit scary, but mostly cool.  Then we went to the butterfly preserve in Goleta and saw some butterflies.  Not very many but it was still fun.

Day 157

It's Friday!!!  'Twas a long week.

Day 156

My box!!  I signed up to get one every week instead of every two weeks and I couldn't be happier :)

This is what happens when I run out of real food.

This espresso machine is taking over my life!!  And I don't even drink it, haha. I feel an Alanis Morissette song coming on...
