I wanna lay down

It's sooooo hard going back to work after a 4.5 day long weekend that was filled with lamb chops, sausages, pasta, brunch, chicken wings, triple chocolate mousse cake, butter pound cake, frozen yogurt, hot pot, etc. Mix that in with sleeping in till 10ish every morning and watching endless TV and movies, how does one go back to work on Monday???

Go away Monday.

I just want my bed back.

Backstage with Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2011

Can't wait to watch it this Tuesday night!

big hair, thick eyeliner, freckles

OOOOOOOH.

A soldier's letter

Prior to moving to the States, the war in Afghan sounded so far and almost unreal. Recently I kinda got to know someone who volunteered for the war. Reading his emails about the situation and how he feels and why he's there made me tear up a little at times even though I didn't really know him that well.

People are missing people from Afghan. And people are missing soldiers at Afghan.

This war is real.

Good reads in bedroom

I love having books by the side of the bed and I have an ever-changing stack of good reads next to me for bedtime reading but having a ceiling-to-floor shelf of books is something I never thought of and seeing this makes me think maybe....

A girl should be...

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

First taste of pumpkin...I stared at the orangey puree from the farmers' organic pumpkin can, I thought since I've never had pumpkin, might as well take a lick.

It's kinda weird. This sounds totally oxy-moronic but it had a very veggie taste??!! I may have recently cultivated the habit and liking for certain salads, I don't think I can bring myself to eat fresh pumpkin.

And I gotta be honest...baking them into muffins was still kinda foreign to me. I wasn't sure if it was meant to taste this way. But the office crowd said they were perfect!

Apple Pie Cake

Fruits of my labour from apple picking at Shelburne Farm last weekend...

Right now...

I could look at this until I drift away to deep sleep...

Lingerie in bed

When it's raining outside for days, you really should just lay around in lingerie all day with hot tea!

I miss my boy

That's all I wanna do. Laze around in bed.

Take me away

Tough day at work. I just wanna get the eff outta here and be where pretty flowers are.

Simple romance

Happy mid-week!

Sweater season

I'm usually more of a flowy silk dress kinda girl and although I've traded in my heels for flats due to bumpy Boston roads, there's something else that I've take to which I never thought much of.

Sweaters. That warm cosy soft touch of knit and cashmere is probably the only thing I look forward to now that the weather is starting to freeze up a lil. Oh hey, and the smell of new leather boots too!

Naked on the beach

why? Just cuz.
