two weeks of lovelies

the clinic has been kicking my butt for some reason and i have had much difficulty finding free time. i am hoping that things will settle down next week and i will be better at keeping up with things like reading blogs and actually keeping up with my own.

the number pi while waiting for deliciousness.

a lovely cup of tea in my grandmother's wedding china! love. it.

a night on top of the art museum while enjoying music and watching older couples dance. lovely!

a silly mirror outside of a bathroom. accompanied by the most professional karaoke i have ever heard!

lots of enjoyment was found in my pitcher of ice tea that i was able to enjoy over and over again in my grandmother's china. i found this pitcher a few months ago at the salvation army with 6 matching cups! one of my favorite finds. but really, all of my finds are favorites!

 super cute frog curtains.

a sweetly delicious study snack.

and of course, we got our goggles and started our "swim team" practice! i cant wait until this week is over so that i can get in the water again!

 

love.

since gaining my poundage back in june, i had a goal that i would work out frequently in july. that did not happen because i began working ten hour shifts and at many moments my feet almost broke off. i then said i would begin the first week of august since i get off at five. i once again did not achieve that goal, but also only pushed it back one week. soon, my friend and i will be beginning our swim team, consisting only of ourselves at the moment. our supplies shipped monday night and im super excited! we will follow through. especially if we go with the custom made swim caps. good luck to us!

one of the happiest things of these next two months, although it may be hot, i get to wear open toe shoes!!! so far i have felt the freedom nearly every day!

this is the loveliest thing i may have ever seen. at least that i can remember at the moment. brunch at a wonderful place with hundreds of origami animals hanging from the ceiling!!!! it was perfect. the ceiling was beautiful even without the birds. which means, i loved it!

until next week...

love!

blueberries may not be as amazing as blackberries, but i love eating bowls of them at lunch.

it was nice to have a change of scenery and hang out with alisha and angie while playing trivia. if only i didnt suck at the trivia part! the only answer i knew was the name of the indian girl in peter pan: tiger lily. alisha was a great asset though!

i got a new oil burner that im super excited about. its electric! now i dont have to constantly make sure the candle is still burning!

and here is the happiest image of the week. (i had to save it for last). the lovely mark my dads glass left on the table at picasso cafe. such a great sign of good things to come! that or the table loved the food as much as we did. you cant not smile back at it!

i may be stressed, but lovely things can still be found everywhere!

love.
