too good tuesday #8

This was too good to me today, and it’s the only thing I feel like celebrating right now. I woke up feeling awful (mostly due to recent stress and sickness), so I decided to take a rare day off of working out early, to catch some more well-needed z’s. I awoke exactly 3 hours later; good things come in threes. Sometimes it is the simplest things that can make us the happiest.

too good tuesday 7

YAY, too good tuesday is back! Lots of things to be happy & thankful for: It was my birthday last tuesday! And it was too good: festive army balloon, epic pulled chicken tacos, scrumptious a la mode brownies, raspberry inspired cocktails, purple tulips and a happy and jingly chloroplast. I also got many messages or calls from loved ones and a few belated gifts arrived too!Getting the bikes tuned up and hitting the hills! My parents buried dearest dexter‘s ashes on a beautiful hill on the family cabin’s property: offering him a mighty fine resting spot, and hopefully further closure for all of us. A return to childhood with healthy snacks: ants on a log! The top row was the 1st test with hummus, cracked pepper & basil; no clever name for it as of yet though, nor the other “log” experiments I am dreaming up.A fantastic “may the fourth be with you” kegger party, which I made an epic t-shirt for. Geekery and alcohol will always prevail.

A lot of time was spent with my sketchbooks last week too (as I mentioned in my post yesterday). Any too good things happen lately that you’d like to share?

best day ever

Nothing is more inspiring than love. Yesterday was one of the most beautiful days I’ve had in a long time; My aunt and uncle invited all of my eastern family over and put on a fabulous party for us. The highlight was finally being able to have my fiancé John meet my grandparents in person. It was such a blast, time just flew! There was a ridiculous spread of food and many laughs and smiles. This is the best way to enter a long craft show week: with a full heart.
