Wine


My love for Sunday is wine! On Sunday afternoon my cousin, Amanda, and I went to Solvang. This is the town where the movie Sideways was filmed. I have never seen that movie but apparently it is about wine. Amanda has seen it and she was really excited to visit the town. We both love learning about wine and trying new ones. We had a very nice time doing wine tastings and also cheese and chocolate tastings!

Pedicures!

So, I realize I did not blog at all this weekend and I am sorry, but I do have every intention of doing a blog today for each day I missed.....For Saturday my love is pedicures, which my cousin and I got on Saturday. Although they were not the best pedicures we have ever had (go online and read the review we left) it was still nice to let our feet soak for awhile and sit and chat. Pedicures are one of the most relaxing things I can think of and whenever I really need to pamper myself they are the first thing I do! I have had many wonderful pedicures in my life and this entry is dedicated to them!

Koalas

My love for today is Koalas. Last night my boyfriend and I had a long conversation about how we were going to get boy and girl Koalas and they were going to have babies. Then we were going to go into the Koala breeding business. After I did some research and realized that short of buying my own zoo I was probably not going to be able to just "get" a Koala, I decided to make my love for the day Koalas. I just think they are the sweetest, most gentle creatures. I think what sparked my interest in Koalas was this story about a Koala who survived the horrible brushfires in Australia. It is a really heartwarming story and I encourage everyone to lend their support to the efforts of those who are caring for the precious survivors.

Happy Birthday Cosette!

My cat, Cosette celebrated her fifth birthday today and she is my love for the day. I felt bad because I did not get home from work until after 9pm and did not get the chance to stop and buy her flowers. Cosette likes very few things in this world and flowers are one of them. Here are some pictures of her over the years. We have been through a lot together, she has always been a very patient and caring friend. She will be getting some birthday flowers tomorrow :)

Old Friends

My love for today is old friends. I feel like it has been 100 years since I have seen some of them. The first picture is of my dear friend Megan. I have not seen her in over a year. The other two are from Courtney's wedding in 2006 and are mostly friends from high school. The second picture is when I found out (from my mom over the phone) that Courtney's wedding cake had fallen over. Note the looks of extreme horror on our faces. The third is a picture of my friends Jamie and Breanna who were wonderful friends in high school. I just wanted to let you guys know that I am thinking of you tonight and as we approach the 5 year anniversary of our graduation I am looking forward to seeing you all soon :)


























P.S. I went through some of my old files and found some more old favorites. One of a fun night with Kerry, Maggie, Megan, and Christina. (I didn't have any with Mary they are all on my external hard drive which is in the shop, but I still love you!) One with Cookie from a Halloween about a million years ago. Another with Cara and Courtney and one from Kayla's birthday.

Day 2

In honor of the Modest Mouse concert that I am missing in Kansas City tonight my love for today is concerts. I love going to concerts, I like to try and get really close or watch from far away and enjoy the music. I have been to two Nine Inch Nails concerts in the last year and I have to say they are the most fun! The first picture is one I took at Lollapalooza last August. That guy in the cowboy hat is security and the silhouette behind him is Trent Reznor...aka my future husband!


Another picture from Lollapalooza.
















I like taking pictures of interesting people I see in the crowd. This was at the Death Cab for Cutie concert last summer. I'm not kidding I watched this guy listen to his Ipod and play with his Iphone through the entire concert!










I also like to turn the camera around and take pictures of the crowd. This was Michigan Avenue after the Rage Against the Machine concert at Lollapalooza.












The stage before Radiohead started at Lollapalooza.
