Hello again!

Current obsession…

Ukuleles. I can’t sing all that well, I dance like a dork but something about them is so darn happy. Maybe this is the perfect outlet to my for music nerd? I tried to play my tiny fake ukes, but the don’t stay in tune and it keeels me. I may have to spend my birthday money from the in-laws on a uke just to get it out of my system. I hate the sound of practicing (years of band maybe?) but I think I am willing to buck up so I can learn how to play “single ladies” on the ukulele.

In other news I have broached new territory into never having to go outside again by ordering new glasses on the internet. I will let you all know how that goes!!! I am hopeful because two pairs with lenses and my extra strength prescription was a whopping 41 bucks. That includes shipping! The folks at Zenni Optical even emailed me right away to confirm my weird RX. I have had two coworkers order from them and they were very happy.

I may have signed up for a 5k. It’s on March 14th.

Unfortunately I am a bit under the weather today so just a few things I love this week,

Tea, I forgot how lovely the ritual of brewing a pot of loose leaf tea is. I think tea and toast may be a miracle cure.

tea and tiny dogs

I just got the album Breakup by Pete Yorn and Scarlett Johansson. I was prepared to hate it, like I hated her cover album but I am in love. It reminds me of she and him and is supposed to evoke the feeling of a Serge Gainsbourg/Bridgette Bardot albums.

Also listening to Elsie’s fall mix. Click here for the mix and here for her blog. I find her adorable and I am really enjoying her mix.

I also like the word bittersweet.

Look out for a real blog post this weekend.

4. KayLynn Deveney a photographer who does very interesting series based on the myths of domesticity and puts them into a diary format. She did the photographic book, The Day-to-Day Life of Albert Hastings which I adore. I just recently stumbled upon her website/portfolio and got immediately engrossed in her work all over again.
