What’s floating my love boat this week?

• I’m drawing again! Trying to keep my fingers itchy for it.
• Date nights with my dear husband; he works so much at his new(ish) job and I appreciate the time we get to spend conscious together more.
• Impromptu dance parties in my mother’s kitchen—my visit back to Chicago was awesome to say the least.
• Leetle bits: The dollar section at Target yielded a turquoise buddha to me; hand-drawn birthday cards; photos from our Chicago trip; doodled sketchbooks and quite possibly the cutest packaged of items I’ve sent off in awhile that I totally want to post loads of pictures of but am waiting for the recipient to receive it; packaging in general—super cuteness. Sunshine bicycle rides. <3

Friday5: week 51
I took Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday off from work while Dennis was visiting for maximum visiting time so much of our adventures took us elsewhere and around. It was a nice start to the week. Weekend adventures await! What are you up to?

What do I love this Thursday?

• Dennis’s visit was super nice—even though my husband had lots of work to do while he was here. We ate lots of delicious food and discovered an awesome Japanese market less than two miles from the apartment full of ultra-adorableness (including 1ups!)
• My first actual leather purse. So pretty! And pink!
• Riding my bicycle in a skirt. It’s such a simple thing but it makes me happy every time!
• A used bookstore—I found some Tom Robbins books that I am excited to re-read.
• The giveaway is still open til midnight California time! You can still enter!

What’s making you happy this week?
