This year’s tree. The decorating conversation went something like this:

Me: Some year I want to do my kind of tree.
DH: But I like the mismatched ornaments, it’s homey.
Me: *making the ick face* It looks…messy. I want a theme, with symmetry and design. Matching colors.
DH: Those kind of trees are too soulless.
Me: That’s exactly why I love them.
DH: *laughs, shakes head*

Next year, we’re doing 2 trees. My DH will get the homey comfort he loves and I’ll get my orderly Magazine-worthy designer look. 🙂

Doggies next door to Harrys Pizzeria.

Rockin out in the car.

Beautiful watermelon radish from this week’s CSA share

Breakfast of champions: Cream of Wheat with almond milk a few dark chocolate chips. Not only nostalgic, but yum.

Im cautiously optimistic that this is me climbing out of my crappy dinner rut.

Kohlrabi, carrot apple noodles.

I’ve been serenaded all afternoon by the grand opening of a new Puerto-Cuban seafood restaurant across the way. Took me awhile to figure out it wasn’t just a loud car at the stoplight. At least he’s enthusiastic. I’ll take this guy over blaring subwoofers pointed for maximum echo from the Pawn shop down the street any day.

This is never a good sign: cars running all willy nilly off the side of the highway.
