CUUUUUUTE!

I love how these photos could have come straight out of the seventies. Such a sweet engagement set! We chose a tiny Blue Spruce today and I wore my new bison sweater from Black Friday (ohboy!). It's been a lovely  Thanksgiving weekend.

I say bison you say buffalo.

I have been enchanted by two animals for the last few (5) years: bison and otters. I mean seriously, who doesn't find otters to be perfection? I can't explain the bison bit as neatly. I just think they're great.

These bison photos are great- I love the baby! It looks like snuggle time if snuggle time were an animal.


Giant prints of bison.


Two more!


I have this sweet bison over the mantle, I think he needs a friend.

WNWR: husband.

Oh man! Our first married Christmas and our first Christmas hosting Christmas (I think everyone is going to curl up in our tiny apartment so we can wake up together)! Oh man. It's going to be great. Just like being married. Do you ever look over in bed and feel like it's crazy how lucky you've been? Joshua is better than ice cream and the perfect nap. I love present shopping for him! But I also get weirdly anxious that presents won't be perfect. It's ridiculous I know.

Who doesn't want to go see a taping of Ellen? We spend more time watching Ellen videos than doing anything else on the internet around here. And Joshua can dance. He was made for Ellen!!!




He definitely needs some wool socks to help combat winter in our frigid apartment! I love this simple old design.

A classic apron (I think he probably is tired of wearing my girly lace one).

A memoir.

Joshua and I had date night tonight. Thermals, wool socks, steaks and The Internship. Now it's off to bed. I live the perfect life of a grandmother! I made a list of the last seven things we need to finish Christmas today and we bought cloves to try out clementine clove whatevers... Christmas is coming. Get ready.
Also I don't want to find a photo. I'm saving energy for Christmas.


Ellen underoos.


Happy otters!


Animals at Arsenal.


Refined space.

WNWR: sister.

I held off as long as I could. I promise. But Walking Dead is sucking all the joy out of itself (although I don't think I ever actually enjoy the season when it's on...) so I need something positive! And what is more positive than Christmas? Nothing!!!


I've just moved past Jarrod and Katrina not being married and don't even bother with that "my brother's girlfriend" business. She's my sister. Things about Katrina: she loves kitties, she is all about the outdoors and fun northwest foods (read: she and Joshua talk about oysters while Jarrod and I gag), and she loves concerts and the summertime. She's basically rad x a million. Also we just saw this musical at the 5th Ave and it was a blast! To cement sisterhood we napped on the couch yesterday afternoon. That is all.

I know it's terrible to give someone a pet, but seriously- this is ten minutes of craigslist. There is no resisting. If she really wanted one absolutely we'd buy her a kitten. 

And she definitely needs a teddy for her honeymoon at some young person music festival. 

Catalope leggings? I think yes! Wear has never looked so fake. Or cute.

If you have to cook, better do it GOT style! Poor Katrina, I don't watch Game of Thrones so she has to try to explain approximately 1,000 characters to me each time she talks about it. I think this will be ten times faster to read than one of the actual books.

MISC.

It's off to bed for me- Joshua has to be up at 0330. You read that right. Yuck. But what a guy! As for me, I'll be wearing my brand new RL boots I picked up at Goodwill. Big morning for both of us. Kidding. Of course (about me in any case, Joshua is working hard). In other news I could go for a bread bowl and a vacation right about now.

Teeny home.


I hope this is true, because how beautiful?


Neutron cream.


We've been watching Top Gear like mad this week... I doubt this will fade in the coming dark winter. An article from Jeremy Clarkson.


I think this will be my Christmas craft. With a yule goat!

Sweetest.

I get a photo occasionally at work to let me know my family is waiting for me to come home... this one was last weeks. How adorable.

Desolation of Smaug.

If this is to end in fire then we should all burn together.
I am stoked for The Hobbit (and what an outstanding title).
Also Martin Freeman's family history if you're into that sort of thing.

I think it might be time...

For another book week. Namely so I can talk about Nick Hornby for a thousand years.

Nick... sorta.

GUESS WHO'S GETTING MARRIED!!!!

YAY!

YAHOO! 

YOWZA!
