Do you want to be my sidedish friend?

Happy Tuesday, lads and lassies! I dear pray that this budding spring-time finds you full of joy! Today, despite it being a bit colder than I would like to have it, I noticed the daintiest pink and white blossoms scattered across a row of tiny naked branches. They reminded me of sugar candies floating atop a mound of fluffy, whipped frosting. I craved a camera in my hands.

I was talking to my dear from Amy-roo via Skype this past weekend and she mentioned that she has started a project to document spring. Every week she takes Lilly (her loveable pup) to their favorite park and then she takes pictures of the same objects. What a lovely idea, right?

Speaking of lovely, the other day I walked by the kitchen table and noticed a certain Sweet Potato looking up at me with the biggest, doughy-eyed expression you could ever imagine. So I dashed into the bedroom, grabbed my camera (charged and ready to go for a moment such as this), crouched down and took a snap of my orange princess! Gift for you:

Oh I love her!

Anyway, as I mentioned in my last update, David and I ventured off to Seoul-land this weekend for my voice lessons and then to treat ourselves to some good food in Itaewon! We went to one of Seoul's popular Irish pubs, Wolfhound. It did not disappoint and is now our favorite place to go! It used to be Oktoberfest (German, in Gangnam) or Three Alley (German, Itaewon). Here are some pictures from the excursion. I enjoyed fish and chips and a Nutty Irishman cocktail. David and a beer (of course) and a fish sandwhich. Peeks:

The names of the drinks make your eyebrows go up a little...! ^^*

Doesn't it look so delicious? I absolutely love school lunch and all the Korean food, but it's nice for a change of pace!

Lastly, and you can stop reading now if you'd like, I wanted to share a recent purchase I made! I love Forever 21 and was browsing their items a few weeks ago and saw probably a million "must have" items. So I bought some in celebration of spring! I can't wait til my order gets here -- I love mail! ^^* Picture of things I bought...relish in the color!

Oh, and FYI you State's people, the "Keen on Green" owl tote was only..$1.50 and they have 3-4 styles, I think. So please, purchase one and bring it with you when you're picking up a few things at the grocery! Or just wear it and be stylin'.

Asalam Olaykum (Peace be with you - Arabic).
