I know it's only Thursday, but it feels like Friday and my goodness am I ready for the weekend! Tomorrow is my sister's birthday and I'll be spending it with her up in Portland having a fabulous girls day. Then, I'm off to Walla Walla with some of my best friends from high school for opening weekend at the wineries. I can't wait to see old friends and visit Walla Walla!

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend as well!

Dessert, yes please!

When I came across these amazing dessert recipes my mouth immediately started watering, so what better thing to do than share with you! the kitchn is the food section of Apartment Therapy and they constantly have vegetarian recipes, which of course I love.

It's super stormy right now, but I'm going to pretend that it's warm, sunny and that I'm enjoying one of these tasty treats!

I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend! Aside from work I'm hoping to get outside for bike ride and enjoy the sunshine. =)

Oh, Liam's mother has posted details about a raffle to continue raising money for their remodel. Check it out and donate if you can!

Can I Have This Job?

Has anyone seen the show Man Shops Globe on the Sundance Channel? It's all about Anthropologie's buyer-at-large, Keith Johnson, as he travels all over the world looking for one of a kind home furnishings and accessories. The show documents the process that Keith goes through in searching for handcrafted goods, as well as details about the artists. It's fun to see the artists talk about their work and what inspired them. Definitely a must see!

Summer To Do List

I was inspired by Emily's (aka dirty blonde) Summer List of 20 Things To Do and decided to create my own list of things that I'd like to do this summer. It is my favorite time of year and we're so close I can taste it! I truly hope I can do all of the things listed below so I can tell you all about it.

1. Run in a race.

2. Go camping at the beach.

3. Buy an old, used bike and fix it up.

4. Go wakeboarding. I always decline when I'm out at the lake with Jesse's parents and I'm determined to go this summer.

5. Climb a mountain. I'm thinking Mt. Washington or one of the Three Sisters?

6. Make a pillow. I know eventually Jesse and I will have our own place again and in anticipation of that, I'm going to try and make some decorative throw pillows.

7. Visit San Francisco.

8. Go to at least 3 concerts. I've already got Band of Horses and Michael Franti & Spearhead on my mind.

9. Go to a hot spring. I've lived in Oregon for most of my life and never been!

10. Make a meal with ingredients only from the Farmer's Market.

11. Try a VooDoo Doughnut.

12. Try at least 5 new restaurants. There are still a lot of places I haven't tried in Eugene and I know if I spend time in Portland this will be no problem!

13. Go to The Academy of Sciences Nightlife.

14. See The Lion King.

15. Go to the Portland Saturday Market.

16 & 17. Visit McMenamins Kennedy School and Edgefield.

18. Fill my coin jar.

19. Make iced tea.

20. Name my blog!
