Summertime Clothes

It was warm here in Austin last night and it almost felt like summer was upon us.  It was so beautiful out that I slept with a window open.  I should take advantage of the cool nights until the real heat rears its ugly head and my air conditioner is on full blast.  Despite the heat, I'm looking forward to the long days and warm nights of summer.  A smile will grace my face when it is finally time to drive around with the windows down, listening to some kind of upbeat music.  It makes me happy.  I wonder what my summer soundtrack will be.

Until then....I'll listen to more "Shuggie" by Foxygen

Roses Are Red, Violets Are Blue

For all the lovers out there today, this one is for you....

Animal Collective-Bluish

Happy Valentine's Day

Good Vibrations

If you have Showtime and haven't checked out "Another Day Another Time," I highly recommend it.  Watching this made me discover some new bands including The Milk Carton Kids.  Here is a video of their song "Snake Eyes" which is a beautiful song.  I even bought tickets to see them at the Stateside Theater in May. 

Another song I can't quite get out of my head this morning is "Colored Emotions" by Night Moves.  This song is dreamy and sexy and I can't get enough of it.  Enjoy and happy Tuesday!

Hello, 2014!

I don't know about you, but I am feeling great so far in 2014.  Especially since last night I made the decision to finally take some courses in the culinary arts.  I have loved cooking since I was in middle school, maybe even younger than that.  I have learned a lot over the years, but decided a little formal training never hurt anyone.  I have a game plan and I know I can do well in the culinary world.  I am a self proclaimed foodie afterall.  The work will be hard, but I know it will also be rewarding.  Loving what you do every day is something I am really looking forward to and I am so excited to start this journey. 

I haven't focused on any other goals for this month, let alone this year.  I do want to start phasing out the grocery store and only buy at the local farmers market.  I want to buy in season and from the best possible sources.  I am a month in and doing great.  I am trying to stick to a budget, but I can get my eggs, meat, produce, and bread at the farmers market.  I plan on sharing all my weekly finds with you all.

I am also working on a new blog and once that is up and running I will share that as well! 

What are your goals for 2014?  Feel free to share!
