We had Rudy for the weekend and on his last day, after his bubble bath, I decided to get a little silly. Yes, I was bored. And yes, he’s a male dog. But I had this cute polka-dot bandana tucked away and just HAD to use it. Look how cute he is!

Our dogs crack us up. They also sort of embarrass us, especially when friends are over. I’ve seen too many pet shame blogs and emails lately to NOT enforce this with our pups; they’re pretty special if you know what I mean. And heck, if I were them, I’d feel ashamed!
When Lucy’s hair is cut short, she sort of reminds me of Falcor from The Never Ending Story. Am I right?!?!
More shame signs to come I’m sure.
I’m finally returning to those silly posts about what brings me joy! Here’s what brought me joy last week:
Harper Happenings: Harper’s interpretation dance and song of ‘Call Me Maybe’ melts my heart happy!
Instagram. My fave to follow is Jessica Alba and Urban Grace Interiors.
Saw Adrien Brody at Pebble Beach last Sunday. It made my world.
Downton Abbey. In love.
Our new “cottage” mailbox.
Confetti nails. Might try for my birthday in a few weeks!
This post about giving birth that I’m definitely earmarking for the future. the littlest is so inspiring.
Fun on Pandora is the best station. Go for it!
Tried a new recipe. However, not sure I’ll eat eggplant again.
Pretty much every day at work. Really liking the new job:)
Lucy’s new hair cut. She’s healthy again and getting her spunk back!
Spin class. The class in Capitola plays the best music to cycle to.
A thank you card from a dear friend.
Any time I see or hear the word Charcuterie. This menu {via bliss blog} and the board of cheeses and meats is as beautiful as ours at Robert Sinskey.
Kristin’s blog. I love “seeing” her every day even though we’re a state away from each other.
Everything on elephantine’s blog lately. And Une-deux senses‘. If you don’t follow these blogs, you should! ;)
Have a great week my friends! Thanks for stopping by:)
I read this post {House in the Hills, you are darling!} and then this article by Tim Kreider, and it really gave me some extra assurance in our decision to move to California. To disconnect to reconnect. To enjoy a weekend without one thing to do. I can finally say that I’m NOT busy, whatsoever.
If anything, I’m aspiring to be more lazy-ambitious like Tim Kreider. To watch more movies. Take longer walks. Shop more for friends. Take more bubble baths. Experiment with red lipstick. Actually frame something more than our ‘We’ve Moved’ postcard. Plan our next trip to Europe. Surprise Rob more. Read for an entire afternoon. To go to bed while it’s still light out. Leave work at work. Chat longer with girlfriends. Allow myself to be utterly bored and enjoy every minute of every day. To take back the feeling of childhood where minutes felt like hours and days like weeks.
If you’re struggling with work or your busy social life, I strongly urge you to read the above posts and see how you feel after. See if you ever leave any time for YOU.
What do you like to do when you’re feeling absolutely bored? Us? We play scrabble {and watch Downton Abbey}… ;)
We’ve been having so much fun decorating our little place. Here are some of the improvements:
New roman shade for the back door.
Driftwood from the beach.
An accordion door for our bedroom in Cherry.
House plants.
