look what I found!

photos from my phone:

from W's wedding shower!

recipe for Yellow Lemon Cake with Candied Lemons and Pistachios found here... a very wow!-looking cake and not hard to make... and Chipotle Apple Pecan Cake... spicy, surprising, and super-cool!

more photos to come throughout the day... I've apparently ignored my phone...

-m.y.

Favorite Thursday wrap-up... On Friday.

Dinner with friends. The dear one who holds my baby so I can relax and eat every morsel of food. Watching Up All Night with husband. Falling asleep during Parks and Rec. And this in the mornings: Magz, couch, grandma's afghan, the Today show, pumpkin coffee, bad hair, slightly blurry:




Happy cooler Friday everybody.

These people.




Encouraged. :)




Coconut LaCroix + KIND bar pre-dinner snack *FTW! (while pumping... which decidedly does NOT show up on my list of favorite things. *and does anyone reference 'for the win' anymore?)

Talking into microphones. I pretty much plan to do this as long as I have a voicebox. Just 2 today, and new romance audiobook begins tomorrow...

Casino spot!

Fave Things Thursday cont'd

Behold:




Self-pay amount for a Pap test, I just mail in my $40 payment. As opposed to the $125ish regular amount. We belong to a Christian co-op health plan, which basically means we cash flow regular checkups/immunizations/etc, always requesting whatever cash discount we can get, and our health plan kicks in as soon as an out of the ordinary procedure or test is ordered (also based on the cash price negotiated). We either send them the discounted bill, or they reimburse us if we had to pay it ourselves.

For more info, go to http://www.chministries.org/ or talk to Michael, as he just finished dealing with everything associated with Ruby's birth.

NOT a favorite thing...

Delicious socks with holes in the toe.




I can afford new ones, really. I just like these. Boo, they should be allowed to retire, I suppose. And I'm removing them for the doc, no need for him to see that I have a hard time letting go of things...

Favorite Things Thursday

As I sit here waiting for my yearly lady-checkup, I thought 'it's been awhile since you blogged.' So I'mna post some things I like right now throughout the day, as I travel hither and yon to work & do my bidness.






First, rdio. It's great. I jam to it, both enjoying things I already know I like and checking out things I'm curious about, like Pink and Lady Gaga. http://www.rdio.com/



Saucony Jazz tennis shoes. I want another pair. I think I got mine @ Zappos.com... They have different styles & colors, and even a Vegan line.





This Cocoon cardigan from Target. I got it in gold and looooove it. Want another. Would make a good gift.

Uh-oh, my turn to see the doc. More later.
