0 and that my friends is called "megalomania"

credits

on my run today i encountered an old man clapping, no applauding, and he was looking right at me. immediately i started to blush {or maybe that was the heat - it was a particularly warm october day today} & i was pondering in my mind if i should say something as i ran past him. i have on occasion gotten a "good job!" & smiles of approval on my run - aw the joys of a fan club. in my mind i saw not this singular elder, but an entire crowd of people cheering me on with unabashed enthusiasm & wishing they could be me {in my mind i was doing a humble royalty wave to them}. however this ethereal feeling of superiority was soon dashed as i noticed he was clapping at his dog {the dumb witted creature seemed unable to pick up the ball & it was irritating the old man}. so as i ran past i said nothing, & looked away thinking "and that my friends is called megalomania."

0 so that's why they call them "crumble" muffins

similar shirt, similar sweater, scarf, similar earrings, skinny jeans, boots 

so there was this one time that i decided to make dessert at 10:30 pm, on a week night {wednesday night}. the decision was based on the ability to make the dessert without going to the grocery store, so i went with lemon verbena & mixed berry crumble muffins. oh my goodness they turned out horribly, well horribly looking. i assume that they would have turned out better if i had adjusted the recipe for high altitude - but it's impossible to know for sure. ivan had offered to take the extras to work but once he saw the finished product he rescinded his offer - so we ate them all ourselves {which wasn't all that bad}. i found out why they were called "crumble" muffins when i tried taking them out of the muffin tin & they proceeded to "crumble" everywhere {i guess i should have used the muffin papers after all}. 

oh! i got beautiful riding boots! real leather boots! this is a first time for me & i'm pretty damn excited! i've never spent that much on any single item of clothing/shoe & i'm expecting them to last a while & keep my feet toasty during this upcoming winter. bring it on!

0 is wednesday too late to do a weekend post?

so this weekend was great . . . this week has been crazy, absolute madness i tell you! however, next week is fall break so i'll have time to catch up on the craziness then, right? i'm hoping to have some fun too {i've already gotten the next two seasons of the gilmore girls & am thinking of anna karenina for a read}. so this last weekend we got together with a good friend of mine & some good friends of ours. nothing better than good food & drinks with good friends & conversation . . . nothing.

musicians at the farmers' markets are the best!

pumpkins!

this girl rocks!

the cutest watering elephant you ever did see!

shout out to camilla my lovely! unfortunately i didn't have any pictures of you that turned out . . . so saddening, as you were an integral part of the joyous evening!

what happens when you have 4 bottles of wine between 5 people & you forget that you turned the focus to manual
