I have a funny little confession to make. Every night before bed I like to look at cute things. It's calming and besides, who doesn't want to go to bed dreaming of pandas and puppies?
Here's a quick spread of things I like to look at before bedtime.

Randall ordered a new toy off of the interwebs and we immediately shoved it into the sink. Don't worry, we were supposed to do that.
Another round of woolite and soft bristle toothbrushes has taken the stain out. I'm sure there's still a trace, but I can't find it in the daylight. If you do see it, please just keep it to yourself. Thanks.
As I mentioned before, I am getting married soon. I am trying really hard not to be one of those gals who end up talking about their wedding all the time. So far so good, although I must admit I have had several moments where it happens despite my best efforts.
Anyways, yesterday I went to my final dress-fitting/time to pick the dress up. I have never been a wedding kind of a gal, and never had a dream dress. Having said that, this dress is a dream. It's vintage, and has been altered to fit me perfectly. It's gone from being a gigantic choir robe, to a beautiful dress just for me.
After my fitting I took it home, and now it's a beautiful dress just for me, with a beautiful non-matching water-stain from where I had to clean a portion from where I got car tire grease on it from taking it out of the vehicle and into the house. I had to travel 10 feet. WTF?
No one's going to notice, it's minor. But I know and that's frustrating enough. And well, now you know, so I'm sure you'll point it out to me.
I have a lot of hobbies. I like to say it's because I'm a versatile person, but in reality I think it's that I get distracted by another shiny object. Two years ago it was sewing, last year it was baking. This year it's gardening, particularly succulents, so when I discovered that there was big ol' succulent sale this morning, I force Randall to get up and go pick out some plants. I wanted to bring them all home, they're just so weird and cute!
Oh and if you're curious, former hobbies have also included photography (this one's sort of on going), knitting, printmaking, illustrating, bass playing (stand-up and electric), and a bunch of other things that I'm sure we'll talk about later.
I recently heard this song on Sirius. I've been known to like beeps and bleeps, la las, male vocals, pianos (used sparingly) and melodic female harmonies. Thus it's a no-brainer that this track by Swedish band The Deer Tracks totally caught my ear.
As I mentioned, I really love traveling. I like to visit new cities, cross them off the list, and plan on going back once my list is complete (although I might have to make an exception for Reykjavik, Tokyo, Taipei, Rome, and Shanghai - those need another visit sooner than later).
The list, which always seems to be growing, just got a few new things added to it. I found this photo list of lost cities (what? entire lost cities, found!) over at Coudal, and am planning on adding these to my big travel. Except X'ian. That one's already crossed off.
I should also take this opportunity to mention that as a youngin' there was a brief moment in time where I thought I might be an architect, you know like Mr. Jones.
Today Randall and I played doggy daycare and hung out with Sushi all day. Sushi belongs to my sister and is half Corgi, half mini-eskimo and 100% adorable. Except the part where she vomited on me in the car. That part wasn't so adorable.
Here's a pic of Randall living his dream: a Lazy Sunday with a sleeping dog by his side.
Artist Jim Hance creates awesome pop culture paintings. I'm pretty sure this would look amazing in my cluttered house somewhere.
