tuesday faves!


i've been guzzling locally created buddha's brew (blueberry flavor) like crazy... 



(in my head its magic healing properties cancel out the torchy's taco i just ordered for lunch...er, and the multiple-per-week-happy hours i've been attending with gusto...)

*bonus!  they have it on-tap at our local whole foods locations...i feel so eco-trendy when i bring in my refillable mason jar and they fill it right up...


also, i used to totally be a target mascara gal...



but this damn dior style show really is as good as they say...so now, i have less money, but freaking awesome eyelashes...i guess that's a fair trade...

anything you currently can't get enough of??

lost!!



 i am a converted lost fan...didn't watch until season 4, but now i.am.obsessed.

we are heading over to our friends' casa this evening for dinner and the show...and there better be some big questions answered starting now dammit!

i am dying to know: why and how they are all connected...who is jacob...what the freaking hell is jack's dad doing on the island...what is the smoke monster...i could go on and on...

...but i wont...hopefully i will have some answers by 10pm tonight.

(at least if i don't have answers, i will be stuffed with yummy dinner and peanut butter cookies, nutella, raspberries, and homemade vanilla ice cream...)

delightful.

this weekend was simply delightful.


friday, we finally ventured to high ball with some friends - so much fun!

saturday, we picked up our new bikes (and a new, different, car carrier for them...too many confusing straps on the first one = angry husband!) and went for a fabulous, albeit freezing, bike ride through the hills of our neighborhood.  (nevermind the fact that i walked up 3 of the hills...)

saturday evening was date night...to celebrate getting my doctorate in physical therapy (yay!) and to just spend time together...we went to the delicious carmelo's, and even had the bananas foster that they make tableside...heaven.  after that we curled up by the fire (er, fire log) with a bottle of wine and season 3 of 'big love' - may have been the best date ever.

sunday we had brunch at moonshine - if you live in austin, you must.go.for.brunch.  delish.  then we cozied up on the couch for more 'big love' (and we may or may not have, after the brunch wore off, eaten some fresh homemade brownies and ice cream - but i'll never tell)

in lust


over these...




le sigh.  
(not in lust with the over-half-the-rent-plus-bills price tag though...)

getting a little ahead of myself...

i blame it on the lack of wedding-related blog-stalking/planning that i'm getting to do since we got hitched in october (full recaps coming, i pinky promise!!).

but i cannot stop planning our future nursery.  (note: we are tentatively thinking about going for baby #1 at the beginning of next year, so this is a tad premature, as you can see.)

what better place to unload a few creepy/creative planning ideas, you might muse, but out into the interwebs, for all to see?!

this i have in my etsy shopping cart, but can't bring myself (as of yet) to hit 'purchase'...



gorgeous, natural mobile from willowbaus


and i actually already bought this:



deciduous tree puzzle from anthro - but it's no longer available


and, of course, when my friend had a little girl last summer and i bought her some adorable organic outfits...i had to buy a few for my future child as well.  oh, and an adorable summer dress (er, 2 adorable summer dresses.)

ok, that's enough.  back to home projects, trying new recipes, planning our upcoming napa trip, and generally enjoying my mid-twenties before real baby fever sets in...

its fun to be a wife!

today i went to central market and bought yummy stuff for the week...


then, with said yummy stuff, i made the following for dinner:


rosemary pecan and blue-corn tortilla chip crusted tilapia...with steamed broccoli and fresh strawberries.


succes.  most delicious dinner ever.  (except when there are sweet potato fries involved...i have been making - and scarfing - those like crazy this last week...)


what is your favorite thing to make for dinner??

domestic goddess


this weekend was fabulous.  and i was a pretty darn fabulous wife if i do say so myself...(er, no cleaning, but lots of yummy cooking and home decorating!)

(unfortunately, i don't have my pictures here to post, but i will do a follow-up when i get home...)

friday:
*i got to see the parentals at my house in beautiful wimberley...
*made it back to austin for sweet friend emily's delicious dinner at annie's downtown (tomato brie soup,
*margarita pizza, champagne, and chocolate cake..delish.)...
*danced and danced to an amazing band, sauce, at speakeasy with the best group of friends...

saturday:
*slept in, had tacodeli breakfast tacos...heaven...
*searched for bikes...and i think we found the ones we want!  check em' out...


(manly guy color for jason)



(pretty girl color for me)

*dinner at whole foods with my handsome husband...
*then kelly's birthday-beer pong-fiesta - christine and i made it to the semi-finals as the only girl team, and really, should have won if i hadn't gone for a swipe and accidently pushed the ball into my own cup...rookie *mistake...

sunday:
*slept in, made homemade cinnimon waffles and scrambled eggs...
*bought and arranged new plants in beautiful new 3-month-anniversary-present pots...
*long walk with christine through the hills in our neighborhood while the boys watched football...
*got wedding photos printed, framed them, and hung up our gallery wall...i love it!
*yummy ingredients from central market helped me create the most delish dinner: buttermilk pecan chicken, rosemary garlic roasted new potatoes, steamed asparagus, rosemary bread, and blackberries...so amazing.

i promise i'll upload some pics soon (of everything from birthday dinner to dancing to gallery wall and plants...)

how was your weekend??
