Some random blooms creeping over our arbor in the back yard. I’m pretty sure they are from the neighbor’s yard but I don’t mind.

We are surrounded by mountains. These are to the East of us. The mountains to the West always have a blanket of marine layer just about to pour over them after heading off the Pacific Ocean.

Pink Lemonade Cupcakes

They turned out REALLY well. I think you all need to go make them RIGHT NOW.

These are a small sampling of the many photo albums that my grandma would make for us (my cousin Stefanie and I) at the end of every summer.

I just spent some time with Cassidy looking through them and while they are awesome memories that I am so happy to have and be able to share with my daughter, it’s still incredibly painful for me to look through them and see pictures of my grandma, her handwriting, her humor… the amount of time and love she put into these makes me feel so very, very special.

This man. <3

I could write 1000 words and it wouldn't do him justice.

This was an intersting dilemma for me because my favorite color really depends on what you’re asking me about.

Clothes? I love black and gray, then accessorizing with bright pops of color. I want either muted, or LOUD. So I either have a on a black top or HOT PINK or NEON YELLOW.

For the home? I love green or yellow walls because they are neutral and easy to accessorize. But my dream house would have neutral walls with LOUD, BRIGHT, OBNOXIOUS accent walls. Ben and I have COMPLETELY conflicting opinions on this though.

Cars? White. I never thought I liked white cars but when we started shopping for an M3 for me, I fell in love with my Alpine white M3 and now I really love white cars.

But, if you ask my husband or daughter, the clear winner in the favorite color category for me is: PINK!

I remember getting REALLY EXCITED when electronics manufactures realized that there were actually GIRL GEEKS out there and started catering to our wants too. I still remember seeing my first pink digital camera and laptop. SMITTEN.

This is the stuff I carry around on a daily basis.

So I’m going to start on the second instead so that all month long my numbers will be off. Like today yesterday is was the 2nd and I’m posting picture #1 which actually makes my brain shudder. And it’s only the first day. By the 31st I’m going to be having all out cold sweats and talking in strange run on sentences.

So technically you won’t notice anything different.

OH! And also, I’m back dating this blog post to yesterday, the 1st, so that it makes some kind of sense. Order wise.

So I’m cheating already.

BECAUSE THAT’S HOW I ROLL.
