today’s post is short because we are in high gear around here! matt and i leave saturday for …wait for it… vacation!!! this being said we’ve set some crazy goals for this week so i better get back to work! :)
also, i tend to become quickly distracted by totally irrelevant things when the pressure hits. (think of when i planted an entire vegetable garden during finals my last semester of college…) what that means for us right now is that we have a spotless and reorganized closet and this blog post has suffered. be back soon friends!
thanks to my grandmother’s help our lovely orchid just might make it despite my lack of even a slightly greenish thumb. thank goodness! i was starting to get a little stressed out by the thought that i can’t keep a plant alive because really a plant is practice for one day getting the puppy i want so badly…you see where the stress comes from?! i’m admiring our beautiful orchid right now; the sun is coming through the big white petals and the bright freckled centers really are glowing, it’s beautiful. in fact, here are a couple images i grabbed for you:
i will also introduce you to my latest kitchen experiment, preserved lemons with peppercorns. not sure how this one’s going to go but i needed to start using my overabundance of empty pickle jars for something! maybe i should stick to storing my old costume jewelry in them, we’ll see. for now, the lemons, day 1 of 14 in the preservation stage. hopefully i’ll be able to pull together some chic moroccan tapas in the near future. wish me luck!
ok, it’s back to work for me. matt actually just cooked something up for us so i think i’ll go enjoy that first, he’s the man. can’t wait to be in touch with you all this week, we’ve got so much to show you! see you soon!
in other news, one of my favorite photos from melissa & josh was featured on the southern weddings magazine blog! their blog is a daily indulgence for me and i got really confused at first when i saw our image there- i even considered that reader was screwy before i finally realized they had featured us! ;) so exciting!
