Sorry that is have been so MIA lately. I have been one busy gal... wedding shower for Jessica, Gwen's birthday, crafting, projects... the list goes on and on. On top of all of that, I am doing some soul searching and learning a lot about myself in the process. More to come I am sure ;)
I will leave you with some snapshots and tid bits from the last couple weeks!
A week ago, Ted and I wanted to get ice cream, so we went to this place called Yogurt Lab. They just opened it up by Lake Calhoun and it is amazing! I know that it will be a huge mess come summer and weekends as it already is quite disorganized, but the concept is GREAT. So here is how it works: you go in and grab a cup/bowl. They only have one size. Then you choose from any of the frozen yogurts that they have on that day (looks like they rotate flavors - a periodic table of flavors on the wall shows everything that they carry). They have all low fat and non-fat and so many to choose from. I think they had about 12-15 flavors on the night we went. I got salted caramel, cupcake and tahitian vanilla. Ted got dark chocolate, coffee and tart. Then you get to choose from TOPPINGS GALORE. Like fruits and candy and cereal and sugar. I heard they eveb had olive oil if you wanted. I tried to section my flavors and then top them accordingly... Ted on the other hand just went to town and mashed them all together.. though it did taste pretty dang good. Then you just pay by the oz, like 48 cents an ounce. Our total together was just over $12... so we had about 22ish ounces. hahaa. but so fun! If anyone wants to go sometime... let me tag along. It might be my new obsession :) I only wish I would have taken a picture of my creation. Next time...
Day travelled with the family to Iowa for Easter. Great to see family and eat good food. Now I just need to get all the candy out of my apartment before I explode from eating it all. Also, how adorable are the chick deviled eggs?
I dont have an iPhone. I have a Droid. It does what it is meant to do... maybe slower than it should. Anyway, smart phones can do everything now. You can check your bank account, text, make calls, keep up with all social media sites, play games.... and make people look like pirates.
This last weekend was amazing! The long weekend started thursday night at the Of Monsters and Men concert. The show was amazing and really showcased the talented band! Friday was spent away from the cities. It was a much needed vacation. Despite the cooler weather, Ted and I had a blast exploring Taylor's Falls, St. Croix Falls, and Osceola. Below are some pictures of our adventure.
This year was the tamest St. Patrick's days I have had.... however, still fun! I didn't get lost, spend $240+, or have to find a nice woman to bring me home. I would say that it was a success!
This unseasonably warm weather has me all crazy for more spring and summer time! Last weekend was spent roaming Uptown without jackets and enjoying the sun. We were out walking almost all of the day. I even had my very first full cigar! Ted and I picked out two cigars in Uptown and then enjoyed them on his rooftop deck while sipping "tan Margaritas." These margaritas consist of mostly tequila and will become part of my summer diet.
This weather also has me going crazy here at work. How can it be so nice outside while I am stuck in the office with my back to the window? Walks to Caribou definitely help get me through the day!
Currently, I am yearning for more walks, cabin time, bright colors to add to my nails and wardrobe, platform wedge sandals and the start of patio season.
Lets hope that the weather will continue to be this glorious!
