I tried to call your satellite, but baby you would not receive

Well, I figured tonight would be the perfect time to update THE LIST that David and I created at the beginning of the year. I have to admit - we haven't crossed off nearly enough things considering we're 1/4 of the way through the year (still having a difficult time fathoming that time lapse!).

Here we go:
  • build an igloo (pictures here)
  • try a new restaurant
  • grow a garden (we're currently in the process - pics soon!)
  • buy a bike and ride it (okay, we can't technically cross this off yet...David doesn't have a bike yet. However, I did buy one for myself and I have ridden it -wee! Pics below).
  • walk in a park (we've done this a few times - no pics though. ^.~ )
  • make homemade ravioli from scratch (pictures here)
  • repurpose a piece of furniture from flea market/garage sale/craigslist (pictures here)
Whew! We still have 42 things to do! I promise you, they will get done! :P

Anywho, as I mentioned above and in another post, I finally found a cute retro bike that suits my fancy! I paid a healthy $50 for this pretty lady: a 1960s pink and white Hollywood edition Schwinn. I went out on Saturday to explore part of Irvington. It was picture perfect, I swear! Winding roads, budding gardens, sweet critters frolicking in the greenest grass you've ever laid your eyes on. I can't wait for David to find a bike he likes so we can have bike dates together!

Ooh, also, David and I have begun working very diligently on our flower garden. We're also going to start growing some veggies and stuff in the back yard. I'm hoping to have that project finished by the end of the week. Then it's just tending to it and harvesting! I'm not sure which part I like better. Once there's something more aesthetically stimulating, I promise I'll have pictures up, dear.

Speaking of photographs, I have a few more I want to share with you today. I think it was last Thursday I got the sudden urge to just go out and buy things. (Sidebar: This happens periodically. More often than I think is healthy. By the way, I recently read that purchasing things releases endorphins. So maybe it is healthy? So long as you have a healthy bank account...which, let's face it, could always be healthier. Dilemma.) Fortunately, the things I purchased were cheap Goodwill finds. I went searching for a cute, retro dress but instead came back with two pairs of heels, a mug and a few other odds and ends. I have pictures of two things:

I'm thinking circa late 80s, early 90s?

Cute retro mug!
Seriously...how adorable!

Ooh, and I can't forget to post my new earrings that Mr. Mailman delivered at the tail end of last week after I ordered them from I'm Your Present on Etsy (visit her shop and try not to drool). I ordered one pair, the pink ones, but she sent me a freebie pair. Aw. ^o^

New Earrings!

Goguma and Lamia are so jealous right about now.



Mmk. I'm out. Enjoy this gorgeous weather, lassie.
