I'll have the tarte please!

This is the only thing making me smile right now.  I am not a sweets person... at all.  Give me a steak over sweets any day.. any time of day.. but this fruit tarte is to die for.  Sel De La Terre has rocked my world once again.  It really hits the spot in the early afternoon. 

Home sweet home.

Opening my page just made me feel so much at ease.  My brain was literally a spiderweb all day... in a non creative way... and I'm just glad I'm home and blogging on Paperdoll.  Home sweet home in more ways than one. 

I've been trying to figure out Tumblr all day today... and I KNOOOW!  It's suppose to be super easy.. but it driving me nuts! Why can't I just have a link to my beautiful baby, better know as my blog, from my Tumblr... WHY!  Ok... breathe.  That's all I am going to say on the matter.  The love of my life just got home... hugged me.. fed me homemade wine.. and now we're watching Julie & Julia in bed.  I love this movie.. I know. So lame.  Maybe one day someone will make a movie about my blog! Maybe...

A spider lives in my couch.

... I named him Harold, so now he's not as scary.  I'm secretly glad he got away.

I wish those were real birch trees... and I was outside... and it was summer.  Ugh.

(See... I even look pissed in this picture)

Thank God for our knitwear!

The trendiest walkers I've ever seen.

Thanks to En-Elle I am now obsessed with this--

Enjoying my overcast day..

I think all Cancers are happiest on overcast days.  I know that I feel at ease with a hint of nostalgia on overcast days... especially in the summer time.  Everything is like super still and almost an eerie quiet.  I love it.  It's the perfect time to reflect for me.  I think it really describes a Cancerian personality pretty perfectly too.  A little dark and gloomy.. moody... there may be a storm in the distance, but it's not quite there yet.  But the gloominess isn't really dark... it's actually quite comforting and it gives an overwhelming sense of calm.  Overcast is the best natural light, especially for photographs.   All of the colors are super clear and crisp, like a Cancer's emotions.  We are always very honest and direct with how we're feeling.   Anyways, I thought I would share that.

$3.95 each! Couldn't resist.

So Bren came to visit me at work today which was so nice! We did a little shopping and ate some sushi together.  Now we are home.. sipping mint tea and listening to a "cloudy day" mix (Turin Brakes, Super Furry Animals, Stars, Colin Hay etc.) with some candles.  Every Cancer has a cloudy day mix.. if you can't find it in their playlists they either deleted it or disguised it with a different name.. Erica can vouch.  I feel good today.   

Dinner for two.

Tonight, my good friend Nicole and I made a lovely dinner for ourselves (well she made most of it.. I made the mac and cheese).  Usually our date night takes place on Wednesday nights... but we're getting serious.   We had turkey burgers with cheese and plum tomatoes, sans bread, organic mac and cheese, sauteed spinach with lemon and a side salad!  We listened to obscure "restaurant music" thanks to Pates Tapes! It was a great little evening! Now MD and I are in bed sipping home made wine, watching The Golden Girls and Law & Order SVU.  Such a great night.
