September BBQ

We celebrated Mom's birthday today and cooked dinner on the grill. Probably the last BBQ this season.
It felt a little strange to cook outside and eat indoors, but that's September for you. Nice weather if you're taking a walk, cold if you're not moving.

Everything looks better with the toycam app.

You'll find more phone photos with various apps on my flickr.

Friday Night

Tea, fresh blueberries, chocolate from Montezuma's and season two of Sons of Anarchy. Chivalry and ink - it's a delicious combination.

The camera apps are still fun.

The Esthers

Remember those two Esther Williams movie star cards Pål from Bullit leather found for me? They're now hangin' with their sisters. Thanks Pål!

Lemon, Ginger and Pendleton

I've been feeling like I'm gonna get a cold any day now. My throat is a little sore and I get tired in the afternoons. A lot of people in the office are coughing or have been sick.

The last thing I want is a cold. I've finally started to work out properly and it feels so good. I don't wanna get sick and have to quit for two weeks, and then start over...
I almost had a Scarlet O'Hara-moment yesterday when I refused to feel sick and went to the gym after work. And I felt much better afterwards.

My sister showed me this simple lemon and ginger infusion that soothes my throat surprisingly well. Even if my sister's version has so much ginger it made me go "hurr" after every sip. I use more lemon and a little less ginger, and it's good stuff.

Lemon and ginger infusion.
My android phone has a toycam app too.


But today I came home to three packages that made me feel a little better. One was vegan peppermint marshmallows and tasty, tasty caramel from Have It Sweet confections.

Hello my lovelies. I'm gonna eat you.

The other two packages were Pendleton shirts I won on ebay. When you buy vintage on the web you're never really sure what you get until you open your packages - that's part of the fun.
But they both fit!

I may have a Pendleton problem...

The green and red one is in great condition, but I'm not sure if the colors suit me...

Anyway, I'm gonna drink some more lemon and ginger infusion and eat every vitamin c I can find. If this cold wants to invade my body it's gonna have to fight for it.

Cookies

I baked chocolate chip cookies today. Because it's Monday, because life is too short for diets and because I can.
And because @Kixet is coming over for a girls night in.

My android phone has a polaroid app.

I've Always Been Crazy

It's a beautiful Sunday outside my window, but I'm busy being lazy and listening to Waylon Jennings. It's time to shake this lazy Sunday mood and head to the gym.

One life, one chance

It's my first week at work after a nice, quiet vacation. I'm having a great day at the office, taking a bike ride during lunch to pick up some stuff and run into friends. And then I get hit with bad, but not unexpected news about my job.

Fuckin' fantastic. I'm praying for a phone call with good news and trying to stay positive.
