over the hump.

G: 3 spring games down, 2 to go.

K: yep.

G: That means that this time in 2013 i'll still have 8 months to go! (said in much despair....you mean the last 6 months of constant rain has got you down, G??!)

K: it will fly by.

G: we're over the hump.

so here we are folks, 3 years down.

and in other news I just realized that i've eaten strawberries everyday for the past two months. When the egyptians used to prepare for embalming they would consume honey and only honey for months. The more you really ponder that--its totally disgusting. Strawberry embalming??---ew.

confetti.

I love these bowls!

My mom and I picked them up downtown Corvallis at a store called The Mod Pod.

They are 100% recycled and made by a company called Zak!

They make me want summer to be here, reeeeaaaallll bad.

I ment what I said and I said what I ment. Elephants remember 100%.

I might have a small crush on Cee-lo Green. But how can you not when you listen to 'Wildflower'.

The spring game is this weekend...which means saying so long to geoffs "night tremors/episodes?"--things are gettin' a little weird around here.

8-ish weeks until California. Are you ready Garners? 'cuz Geoff can't wait.

This week is all about The OC reruns via netflix. Do you remember that show? It was amazing. I wasn't allowed to watch it in high school (not that that stopped me) and coincidentally my parents are hooked on the show and watch it nightly--you welcome dad!

Do all your long car rides involve discussing the relationships on '16 and pregnant'? Or is that just us?

And dont you hate when you dont fit in the car and your shoes are 6 sizes to big??

cherry fest.

G and I planned a weekend in The Dalles

and it just so happened to take place during Cherry Festival!!

Dont get too excited, its actually pretty bland--there arent even cherries involved.

The parade was amazing--I think Geoff and I both agree that our favorites were the dancing horses and the Columbia Gorge belly dancers.

Check out these ladies!! Woot woot!

(I know what your thinking, your totally jealous we got to see them in person)

(Oh and be sure to enlarge the picture and check out Lady Versace's reverse tramp stamp down in the corner there)

The had a petting zoo and you'll never guess what they had...

GOATS!!

um, how freaking adorable!

And they also had this very rare beast...

(G sampling chocolate covered cherries)

Other than that we spent our time watching the Masters...Next year McIlroy, next year. I can feel it. 

Lately.

Since we've been back from enjoying the radiant Arizona weather....

we have been contunally growing fonder of the 'Hot Eats' side of the menu at DQ

Finally got around to potting my plants

(and yes, I did carry that owl pot from Hobby Lobby on the plane and the TSA guys look a little bewildered when they saw it on the xray screen)

And we spend our nights watching our copy of the first season of Fresh Prince

I forgot just how funny this show is.

running/creeper shots

yesterday is was finally warm/sunny enough to exercise outside.

One of the best things about where we live in Corvallis is all the running/biking paths by our house. 

You can start on one path and veer off onto a new one. 

ANYWAY, I decided to try out a new path the other day and it was amazing. 

see:

Oh wait, what?

people over the age of 15 still rollerblade even though were out of the 90's?

Shortly after I took these photos and was thinking how much I liked this new path, a gang of girl bikers whizzed past me with their coin slots hanging out.

im glad I didnt get a picture of that. 

and while im at it:

check out the sweat patterns on this guy.

wingtips.

One of my best finds in New York was my wingtip oxfords:

I l.o.v.e. them.

The thing that makes them so great is that its taken me three years to find them.

yes, I have wanted a pair for that long.

It all started many moons ago when I was a sophomore in college and had a 2 year subscription to Vogue. 

They had a four page spread on Keri Russell--whom I love and sidenote: if you havent seen the movie Waitress I highly recommend it because you will love it. 

anyway, she was wearing the most beautful ensembles, two if which were paired with oxfords, I immediately fell in love and scoured every goodwill I could get my hands on for 6 months...and then I gave up. 

Who knew they were waiting for me 3,000 miles away.

MFEO.
