Baseballin'

How I spent most of my weekend...

UT won the series v. Tech.

And I must say, that center fielder is pretty darn handsome.

But I'm not biased or anything.

Yummmm

Looking for a sweet (and semi-guilt free) treat?

Yogurt Planet is where it's at.

Pick your flavor. Add your toppings. Voila!

(My favorite:  tart + strawberries & granola)

@ the Triangle, N. Lamar Blvd.

Cinematics

"Away We Go"

I cannot wait for this.

What a cast.  And directed by Sam Mendes. Even better.

Coming in June.

Puppy Love

Meet Tex...

He's not quite ours.

(But we pretend he is).

Nothing like a few cute puppy pictures to brighten a rainy day.

Pretty Paper

Looking for charming stationery?

I fell in love with this little shop

Cocktail Hour

The Cable Car Martini

(my boyfriend's favorite)

1 oz. rum

1/2 oz. orange curacao

1/2 oz. lime juice

1/2 oz. sweet & sour

Pour in cocktail shaker. Shake well.

Strain into chilled cocktail glass.

Ride it to the stars. 

Mmmmmm

Chocolate creme-filled cupcakes. 

(a sophisticated twist on their Hostess twins)

I know a few boys who would be happy to taste-test these babies.

Words to Live By

"Sometimes I can feel as if I were sparkling all over," she was saying,

"and I want to go out and do something that's absolutely crazy, and marvelous..."

- Richard Yates, Revolutionary Road

Making the Old New

Where can I learn to reupholster furniture?

I have a hankering to turn old vintage finds into something new & chic.

Sweet Melodies

Must listen:

The Boy Least Likely To

Inspiring, exhilarating.

A decadent mix of indie pop, country & disco.

And (sort of) cute British boys.

Book Worm

Three Junes by Julia Glass

"Assuming that our energies are sufficient, 

love is interminable."

- Jim Harrison, The Road Home

A beautifully intricate story of the "joys, longings,

 fulfillments & betrayals of love in all its guises." 

Highly recommended. 

Blossoms

In honor of the first day of spring...
