Maystagram

I took some awesome photos on our Canon this weekend but I need to find/make some time to edit them before I can put them up here.

You know what takes NO time to edit and upload? If you guessed a dump of May Instagram photos, you’re right. Let’s call it a “month in review.” Note: These are but a select few of my May instagram snaps. Let’s just say I’m addicted.

During the first half of the month, I hung out with Lisa a lot. (Did you know she just opened an Etsy shop?) I also spent time with Mosey, of course. He’s my constant companion :) I also got an unexpected present from my sister!

During the second half of the month, I got a haircut, we visited my uncle’s farm in Oklahoma, then slowed things down by playing my favorite video game Top Shop (like a Engrish version of Monopoly). Also, I finally got in some good reading, and some much-needed rest.

What have you been up to? I really am interested, you know! This ain’t a one-way conversation! 

My Life, Recently, in Photos

Last week I locked my keys in the car and was forced to bike to work. It’s approximately a mile and fortunately Kansas is very flat so it’s not a huge deal. After the chilly morning fog cleared, it was a really nice day, so although it isn’t the ideal situation, it turned out OK.

I’m glad that I didn’t have to bike to work this week. It’s much colder: meaning temperatures around freezing (plus or minus a few degrees). Overall, I’m thankful for the mild winter (very few below-freezing days) that reminds me more of my CA life (“winter” means 50 – 60 degrees and sunny). This week we got dumped on, but it didn’t stick around. I wonder how long my luck will hold out… crossing my fingers we make it to spring without a school-closing, road-condition-endangering blizzard (we had several last Jan/Feb/Mar.)

A few things that have perked up my days:

Used my amazon.com gift card to get Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? and added Bossypants (those arms still give me the willies) to upgrade to free super saver shipping. Both very funny.

Admiring my dishes. Wishing for a cabinet with glass doors (like this) or open shelving to show off.

A most delicious, healthy lunch. Amics roasted veggie wrap.

A new friend for the mantel. Target. $10.

Finally, a new purse! The faux leather on my gray purse was getting all flake-y and peel-y and all-around unsightly. This one’s from H&M that is big enough and chic enough to meet all my purse expectations. Oh, and gold accents are a must.

So, there’s this thing going around on isntagram. It’s called photo a day and participants take one photo of a predetermined theme for the month of January!

For lack of better blog content, I’ll share the past six days.

Day One: ME

Day Two: Breakfast

Day Three: Something I Adore (my sister)

Day Four: Letterbox

Day Five: Something I Wore

Day Six: Something That Makes me Smile (Mosey)

Also, a few blogs I’ve recently come upon and begun following. Late boarding a few of these trains, I know. A Beautiful Mess, Nat the Fat Rat, and Mini Penny. Check them out :)
