mellow weekend

salted caramel on a rainy Saturday night.

i think i slept about thirty hours this weekend.

a radiant David

expensive hair bands.   

D tried to get a "belly" shot on our breakfast date.  I was too lazy to stand up for it, so it's a half way taken shot, but some what shows it .... I really feel a difference now.  It's a baby belly, for sure.

In focus.  oops, had no idea shirt was see through.  thanks mister husband for never telling me this, all the three year or so years I've owned it.

important research on my new fav subject:  children's books.  btw, this book is to die for.

completely wonderful for a little one...  i wish i had written the adult fiction version.

valentine recap

D is for David.



With yesterday being Feb 14th, and being that my gentle man had the evening off, I celebrated this day-of-love in a cozy & familiar way: eating a sweet, buying a sweater & making dinner. First we drove to Fran's chocolate shop in the pouring rain and I picked out a milk chocolate & smoked sea salt caramel. Heaven. I wore a too tight black mini skirt and my beat up cowboy boots and Dave wore a soft plaid shirt. Just your regular old valentine cowboys looking for a nice piece of candy. Then I suggested I "pop" into Anthropologie. Being that it was Valentine's Day, he agreed, so I entered the shop with thrill & anticipation and mosied around. D gave off the vibe that I should "find" something, (I might of self-created that vibe), but I did find something. (Two things.  Both on super sale.) The big ticket item was a camel colored cardigan with flattering shoulder lines. The tiny ticket item was a single stud earring with the initial "D". It's v cute. We then drove home and I made a flatbread with quince paste & artichokes & a raw milk cheddar, which paired nicely with a beet & tuna & kale & broccoli salad. To drink we had a cocktail of vodka, ginger & blood orange cider. I served the salad in a white heart dish and put straws in our drinks to make it look special. We watched From Paris with Love and I admired John Travolta's facial hair. It was a very nice night and I'm excited about my new Anthro finds.
