Friday Links Saturday

I thought about my Friday link dump earlier in the day but, you know, work & stuff. So here they are now!

I starred a lot of houses this week...

There was a house built into a hill in Brunswick & everytime I would visit my friend, I would drive by because it was so cool... this house in a hill is cooler.

So is this other house in a hill.

Or maybe I'd like a place to hide.

Or, holy crap, look at this: house in farmstead.

Or maybe some shade for the Fit: House V

Or... this awesome houseboat

OK, enough w/dream houses. Dream clothes! Orly Kiely Fall 2010 - Love it all.

I like this little Sandra Juto house tour a lot.

I never get enough of photos of Camilla Engman's dog Morran - Puppies rock.

Speaking of puppies... I am obsessed with finding a bike basket that will hold Goyle. Le Tour de Frenchie has re-inspired me to find something.

Recipe I'm obsessed with trying this week: Huevos Rancheros

And finally, CAK local Amanda Johnson is a finalist for a new Apartment Therapy blogger job! Go read her first guest post & support her. NEO FTW.

Friday Link Dump!

I thought Friday would be a good day to share some of the fun things I've starred in Google Reader over the past week... so here goes!

Um. YUM. Blueberry Ice Cream. This will be being made this weekend.

If someone would like to secretly replace my house with this awesome looking place, I would not complain.

OK, I should say: I hate the very idea that there are standards for things like "normal" or "adult" or "happy" since I have never met any people who fit the standards. But still, This is Why I'll Never be an Adult is fucking hilarious and pretty much how my life rolls.

Minus the shoes, I adore this outfit that Margaret Howell is wearing.

Martha at Uniform Natural shared a photo plant list from her enviable garden.

This scratch off world map is such a cool way to record where you've traveled...

Love this little cabin in the woods

Moleskine's Milan office is pretty much the kind of office I always dreamed my last company would end up at... alas, alas! It was not meant to be.

Grrrr! Angry Potatoes!! They may be angry but they look like they'd make my tummy very happy. :)

I would also like to hang out here.

I am a very visual person & the photos in this post pretty much sum up why I've been obsessed with visiting Iceland for the past 10 years.

And finally, before summer is done, I will be making one of these and letting it sail off into the world.

What? I'm busy.

Oh the long sad tale of keeping up w/blogging...

So what have I been up to while I wasn't updating this blog?

• Normal Stuff like working/playing/shopping
• Tearing apart things but not putting them back together on my house to-do list
• Doing endless yard work
  
• Giving into the curiosity & I watching those Twilight movies... they both sucked
• Adding/Rearranging my house to-do list (buying a house is like throwing money into a fire)
• Adopting a big sister for Goyle (see below)
  
• Giving up on my 14 yr old Pontiac & buying my first new new car
• Um, blogging occasionally here: 33etc
• Trying to decide where I want to blog
  
• God, isn't that enough for you? :D

Introducing Ginger (aka Gingerbean, Gingersnap, Harper, Short Stack)

Little girl is 7 yr old-ish Corgi/Beagle mix (allegedly, I think she's a Corgi/Yellow Lab mix) who enjoys long walks around Northwest Akron (or wherever I take her), eating (everything really), sitting in the shade, standing under my feet, ignoring her annoying little brother, & barking at every noise ever.

As for where to blog... I had chosen posterous but then blogger (fucking finally) got new templates. So I'm back here for now, I think.

Oh. Hello.

I created this blog over a month ago as a fresh start... and then busy got the best of me. That's just the way it goes. Now it's the new year and it seems like a good time for an even fresher start.

As soon as I get my new internet working, I'll try my best to make everything a little prettier around here. Here's what you can expect...

A girl. A dog. A house. And many random thoughts & interests.

Looking forward to it.
