run now, pizza later

HAI HAI.  we're gonna try something new and exciting today.  ARE YOU READY??

i've decided to *sort of* bring back date nights!  i know, you've totally missed them right?  well i'm bringing them back in Adventure Style.  what does that mean?  i'm gonna take you with me on my adventures around the city & beyond!  I'm working towards bringing my photography outside of the apartment and focusing on shooting in manual in the real world and it's been a ton of fun!

1.  ummmmm remember how excited i was about unroll.me?  it's safe to say that frankie and i are equally obsessed with followmy.tv which makes it easy to see when your shows are airing and keeps track of the ones you've watched.  (frankie keeps all his shows in a note on his phone – so i'm really excited about being more organized)
2. these are the most gorgeous desserts i've ever seen.
3. i've bought another basil plant!  i'm hoping i can keep it alive longer this time…
4. i tried freshdirect (that's a referral link – it'll get you $100 off, $50 off your first two orders!) for the first time this week!  i'd been putting off trying it because i was worried about getting bad produce, but i was really surprised with the quality & i'll definitely be doing it again.  i had a code and had to meet a $125 spend amount so i splurged on filet mignon and i cooked it perfectly.  so totally awesome!
5. can i just let you know how happy it makes me that all of my electronics match?  P.S. i'm in LOVE with my new computer still.  it's like a baby that i want to take everywhere.
6. UMMMM there's a procompression sock deal going on right now to buy 2 pairs and get 3 FREE (not the third pair – THREE FREE PAIRS) what??? (the code is 3PLUS) YES.
7. TV – we're still watching House of Cards and loving it.  also we caught up on Game of Thrones and i'm like dying over the suspense that is that show.  also, have they finally gone past the books?  i'm wondering if the Jon Snow storyline is what the books have written?  i'm still really into Quantico and i knewwwww it wasn't Drew or Ryan.  i vaguely remember thinking it was Liam in the way way beginning of the show.  i wonder if i wrote that anywhere? (just checked and yup, i did write that i thought it was him)
8. hahahahah it's a ruff life.
9. i might have asked this already, but are you guys interested in the backend stuff behind the blog?  the tools i use, traffic info, growth & earnings?  i'm toying with the idea of writing about that, but i won't if no one is interested in what's working and what isn't.  this is first and foremost a food blog and i plan to hold true to that.

1. HAPPY MOTHERS DAY ??? to all the wonderful moms out there, especially mine.  i love you eternally and unconditionally (even if you drive me crazy sometimes, because i'm sure the feeling is mutual).
2. i'm in LOVE with my new computer.  I MEAN IN LOVE.  (as in: my boyfriend should probably be jealous, love).  it's just so pretty and small and sleek and FAST.  it was a good investment.  now i just need to keep it organized…
3. i'm brunching in brooklyn today!  YAYY.
4. i love this – btw DEFF agree with the kosher/sea salt over table salt… i haven't used table salt in my kitchen in AGES, we LOVE pink himlayan sea salt over here and will never look back (frankie thinks it's candy…)
5. every once in a while i still get notifications from my favorite coffee chain in oregon (dutch bros) and it makes me SO SAD.  is a $400 round trip ticket worth the benefits of a smooth blended coffee?  the answer is always yes.  YES.
6.  i rearranged our bedroom yesterday and i think frankie was over it and ready to murder me.  but it looks SO MUCH BETTER NOW.  and we have so much more space for activities.  it really made the room feel twice the size i think.  and it's cleaner on the half with our bed so it feels more tranquil.  i'm a huge fan.  plus i can actually use the desk now!  i'm writing this from it right now :)
7.  TV. scandal!  i'm back in the swing of loving scandal again!! which makes me incredibly happy.  also “tell her i'm chasing the sun” I CANT EVEN DEAL.  ITS TOO MUCH.  sigh. quantico. we have to watch it tonight because i'm the worst and we were cleaning/watching house of cards yesterday.  i thought i wasn't really into house of cards anymore… but I AM which is fun.
8. ELLEN.  she really IS a national treasure.
9. here's a bunch of funny mom quotes for funsies on mother's day.  YUP.
10. I had to snap a picture of the white girl rose below.  i giggled out loud when i saw it.
