1 colorfully athletic

similar shirt, similar skirt, similar belt, similar watch, similar shoes

so i'm kind of really in love with this skirt. i've always been a fan of bright colors {i didn't have any black in my wardrobe until i was in my twenties - now i have a lot - but still a lot of brights} & orange has always had a special place in my heart. it's loud but cheerful, ostentatious but fun - it's like that music that you can't help but sing to & even though others might roll their eyes at you, deep down you know that they wish they could sing too . . . orange always sings out loud.

0 overambitious dinners make for great leftover lunches

so this dinner was sooooo delicious! the only reason i had to stop eating was because my stomach simply wouldn't allow anymore food. so when i got to eat it all over again for lunch i was ecstatic! i was super happy too that when i felt ready for a snack i could munch on some roasted acorn squash & sweet potato soup with dark rum whipped cream. ivan took enough to have lunch for two days. so yeah there was a lot leftover - in fact i still have enough for lunching & snacking tomorrow. when i made the soup i had to make it in two giant pots to fit it all in - i guess i was so excited to make it that i skimmed over the "serves 6-8" & 9 cups of chicken broth. the good news is that i don't think i'll get sick of the soup before it runs out - because that has happened before {freshman year of college the first time i made a vegetable soup - i was used to cooking for a dozen eaters people - a dozen! i won't mention how long that soup lasted} well, happy weekend people! have a good one!

0 happy anniversary мече!

today is our third anniversary & ivan surprised me with a gift! an anne taintor flask! he's so good to me. we'll officially celebrate this weekend, but it was an awfully nice surprise when he pulled out this little bag with his boyish grin & said "happy anniversary! i wanted to get you something because you make me so happy!" how i love that man!

p.s. the flask says "old enough to know better . . .  too young to give a rat's ass"
