Waking Life Blossoming


This past weekend Tacoma has been warm and sunny! A faux spring, no doubt, in order to heighten our sadness when it returns to typical february grey raininess. Regardless, it's been lovely to stand outside in the mostly-warm sun and soak in a bit of vitamin D. It's amazing how much sun can lift my mood. Perhaps it's all the more glorious because it's so infrequent here.

Superbowl Sunday was pretty fun. I whipped up some guacamole and baked cheese dip for the game and we went over to a friend's house to watch it and eat way too much food. Yum! A friend made homemade pizza, but regrettably I was too full to even eat one piece! I did snag a bite from one of Dan's pieces though and it was delicious. I think I could probably eat pizza every day.

ModCloth asked a few bloggers if they wanted to be a part of a fun Valentine's day project where we styled up a pretty dress along with a blogger we're currently crushing on. I've just recently started following Caitlin from Waking Life and have been really enjoying her blog. Check out how she styled it here. So pretty! I like that this dress isn't overtly valentines-y with pink and red, but the florals are pretty and it'd be a fun dress to wear on a Valentine's date! Maybe even a lady date! I went out on a lady date last week with four of my girlfriends to inhale burgers and some wine. It was wonderful. Sometimes you just need a lady date, you know?
