happy valentine's day

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!


I hope you have something special planned with someone you love.  I like Valentine's Day.  For no special reason, but I think it is nice to show your love (and I think gratitude comes naturally during Valentine's Day too) for people you care about.  It's sweet.
Something you don't often hear from a single gal.  (However, for those single gals out there who aren't so keen on Valentine's Day... give this a gander.)


I have a few different love themed things to share...


#1 This is a beautiful photography series by Lauren Fleishman Love Ever After. Literally, just beautiful in so many ways.  Check it out!


Little by little we age but we don't change in our hearts. Love gets stronger. That is the way I feel. I believe he feels the same way. Yes, he was my first love. My first love and my last.

#2 I got some Dove chocolates from a volunteer at work.  I love Dove chocolates almost solely because of their sayings inside.  Here are the ones I got:
Discover how much your heart can hold.
Remember your first crush.
Get swept away by love.
Go where your heart takes you.


#3 Here are a couple songs for you to enjoy








#4 What did I do for Valentine's Day.  
I made cards.
I made a cup of green tea, pulled out my craft bag, turned on pandora love station (yes, as I found out, it exists ;) ), and got to work
I love cards.  I think they are the most important part of any gift.  I'm not exaggerating at all.  I helped my cubemate come up with his Valentine's Day gift and I even told him the card is the most important part.  Maybe it's just me.  But that's what I think.
Usually I get made fun of for my homemade cards, but I don't care.


I didn't make these, but they are beyond cute and an awesome idea...

#5 I really hope you saw google's Valentine's Day thing.  It was adorable!

Fall Photos

After admiring the leaves on our runs and my bike to work, we recruited my parents to take some photos of us there this weekend.   After these photos (and tackling some IT issues for my parents) we went to a birthday gathering at the jazz festival on Cherokee Street.  I liked it more than I thought I would. As the night wore on, I started chatting with one of the friend of a friend's there.  I started going in to what a crazy year and some change it's been and, whew, it really started to overwhelm me.   This morning, Mike woke up overwhelmed by our world/specifically our country.  I woke up with that conversation still in my head and also felt overwhelmed.  We treated ourselves to Sump Coffee and had a chat.  It's not always we sit down and talk about what we want and steps to get there. Fall feels like the perfect time to reset.  As we went through the day I also thought, it's okay to miss things in the past, but it woul...

Kitchen Safety

We moved!  We're in our new place and we just got wifi.  Wahoo! I definitely broke in the kitchen quickly.  I was making a panini type sandwich for a potluck get together so I preheated the oven.  The next thing I knew the fire alarm was going off.  Let me tell you they did not skimp on a very loud fire alarm.  Ahhhhhhhh I opened the oven, which I know you're not supposed to do.  In the moment, I think I needed to see what I was dealing with.  There were definite flames.  Ahhhhhhhh So I called Mike while trying to google what to do.  He was super calm the entire call while I freaked out (it probably helped that he couldn't see the smoke billowing out of the oven).   He said to throw baking soda on it.  I did.  It seemed to fizzle but came back. I searched the apartment for a fire extinguisher (maybe I should have looked for one before this moment). This is while I kept trying to silence the fire ...

Concerts = ♡

Last week was an exceptional concert week for me.  I was lucky enough to catch San Fermin, The Mowgli's, & American Authors.  In one week! My sister, Karen, and I found out San Fermin would be in Chicago at LouFest when we went through the artist signing line.  (Correction: Karen participated in the artist signing line, while I hid behind her shoulder and Ellis, the composer/writer, reached out to me to introduce himself.  This band is full of quality people.  Just sayin'.  I get awkward around bands.)   So we followed through.  Found their show at the Metro (which could not be more convenient for us) and met up with Rubina, my friend, to enjoy their show.  So good.  We were not disappointed.  I was only minutely disappointed because for some reason I assumed they were headlining so when they didn't come out for an encore I was confused.  But then I realized they were the middle act and it made sense. ...
