0 I'm Back! And My Week in Photos

I'm back...blogging from my shiny new Mac Book Pro!  It is taking a little getting used to using a Mac, and blogging without Photoshop, but I'm learning pretty quickly.  Otherwise, I've been fighting yet another sinus infection, so we've spent a lot of time on the couch.  Last weekend we did try a new breakfast spot: The Grand Casino Bakery and Cafe which was amazing...and had another little pool party which is always fun. Hope you had a good weekend...

Almost caught up...Last weekend we visited Abbot Kinney in Venice.  We had lunch at Lemonade, which was really good, and did a little shopping at Urbanic Paper and Firefly.  I'm completely obsessed with succulents and cacti (even more so than lately) so I did some appropriate documenting. Another theme for the week: wood slats, preferably on the diagonal.  I also did a little exercise in finding happiness in the little things around me (work was stressful, I needed a coping mechanism, but it's a good exercise to do all the time). Speaking of happy, I finally hung the banner Brit made me for my birthday in my room.

Actually, I need to catch up...these photos are from two weeks ago.  Brit and I went hiking, with our new Herschel Supply Little America backpacks (yay!)...we saw a rattlesnake (yikes!). It was nice otherwise. Next we went to Zuma Beach in Malibu. It was a little too cold but the drive was nice.  It was also mother's day so we cooked breakfast for my mom, then we did some plant shopping and landscaping at my parent's house.  I liked my outfits for the week, my big shopping trip the weekend before made a big difference in my wardrobe.

1 Last Weekend Recap

I have to sneak in last weekend/weeks recap before this one starts!  I've had annoying computer and internet issues this week that have slowed me down, but that's ok.  So some highlights from the past week:


1. The weather was weird the past week in LA, this thick fog rolled in and you couldn't see anything, and then it rained, but there were also periods of beautiful sunshine.  We liked that part.
2. Brit now has an awesome hanging herb garden on our patio, that we are really excited about. It required some interesting and awesome items...like a machete (not really, it's a folding hand saw, but that's what we are calling in) and neon zip ties.
3.  We also got more succulents and cacti (because we didn't have enough already) and did some planting.
4.  Including planting a new aloe vera in my newest  Perch! Campy Planter...I love them so much!
5.  I also got some new Russell and Hazel Binders (I'm obsessed with the yellow one) and a BKR water bottle.  I'm totally guilty of drinking smart water from plastic bottles, because I hadn't found a reusable bottle that I like.  But I think this one might be it. 
6. I had brunch at the Jonathan Beach Club which was delicious and beautiful with great company.  Then I spent some time at my parent's house and got to hang out with my favorite doggie, Tilly. My dad started a vegetable garden while we were there, and my mom was cleaning the pool area.  One of my next tasks is going to be to design their pool/outdoor area, including landscaping and furniture.  The view is awesome, and I have a feeling we will be spending a lot of time there this summer.

We didn't leave the house much this weekend...which was kind of nice.  I'll have to share last weekend's jammed pack fun photos soon.
