as of lately ::

the beat of the week ~~

so here i am.

busy as a bee.

work 7 days a week.

at the office on days . coffee on weekends.

herb school, friends, family, cleaning, etsy & cuddlin my cat in the time i have left over.

money saving. car fixing. school planning. music finding. pumpkin craving. thrift shopping. healthy eating. positive step taking.

i'm also getting glasses ! because i actually need them. i always knew i did. they are ... so perfect for me. can't wait to show them off. the perks of working at an optometrist office. i do exams on people & all that fun stuff. it really is fun, i'm not being sarcastic. i love my job.

last weekend my great pal brooke & i decided to be tourists in our own town: Camino aka Apple Hill. it was probably the best idea we've ever had. because it was the best day ever. we went to Kids Inc for their delicious pies for breakfast. then we dinked around at various other farms & got ourselves some souvenirs . we then decided to go to Boeger Winery for some wine tasting & a bottle of Boeger Hangtown Gold on the grass for brunch. delicious & peaceful!

Then we went to some other farms & decided to hit up good ol' Jack Russell Brewery because they had tents & live music... nice nice. we decided to each get a hotdog .. (brooke got veggie) & it was so delicious. we watched a man blow glass with special glasses .

then our last stop was Argyres Orchards for face painting! we decided it was a must. Brooke got lady bugs & bumble bees with vines & i got a unicorn & star bursts. so awesome.

all in all... it was a spectacular day.

LOVE !

upcoming birthday of my dear little friend.

my very best friend in the whole world anouk will be turning a year old next week. however her birthday is the same day my old friend naomi was killed. so it will be a happy/sad day. anouk is so grown up now, i can hardly remember when she was just a baby with a scab on her nose. i didn't even want her.. but she loved me out of all people so i couldn't resist trying her on for size and then the next morning when i woke up she was all snuggled up next to me on my sweater and i had to keep her. she is the best cat ever, so loyal and funny. she is a chartreux cat. she also sleeps hilarious so i have about a million photos of her sleeping all wild like. am i thrilling with my cat stories? a lot of people say i am going to be an old cat lady.. i think they are right.. sigh.
