Fill in the Blanks Friday

Here comes miss procrastinator always turning her homework in late :) and filling out her blanks on Saaaaaaturday! I feel like crap and it's beaautiful outside! I'll force myself on at least a walk later, but a sleepy day is exactly what I need. Happy Weekend,  folks!!

Go visit Lauren to link up + play!

1.  The highlight of my week was  volunteering at a local elementary school for Read Across America. They were celebrating Dr. Seuss' birthday and I got to read Go Dogs, Go to an adorable 4th grade class.

2.   If I had to classify my interior design aesthetic it would be   ...when I define it, I'll let you know.

3.  My first vehicle was   is a 92 Chevy Cavalier. And yes I'm a 24 year old still driving her first car :/ but I love my stick shift mini sized Auto. Nevertheless, I'm dieing to make that "is" a "was". 

4. An item I need to have in my day in order to function is  I have to quote my dear blogger friend Erin's blanks for this, because iiiiiii could not agree more: "coffee or tea, ... it's the comfort that comes from enjoying a warm cuppa while working or reading or sitting through a meeting."

5. My favorite way to waste time is  doing so on Pinterest :) apparently, that's a trend. 

6. Right now I could really go for   a pizza. someone bring me a pizzaaa! 

7.  This weekend I will be   sleeping off this weird body cold I've had this week aaaand exploring town a little with my dear Jules who's visiting me tomorroooooow. 

I apologize for my sing songiness today :) let me cut back on that cold medicine.

sunshine, snow + Nutella drizzle.

Although I was very happy to have today off, it was a bittersweet teaser since I have to go back tomorrow until Friday before I get to enjoy the weekend like the rest of the lucky weekenders :) In the meantime, either the weather or work got to me a little yesterday with chills + a fever and so I didn't plan much for this free Tuesday. 

And so.. trotz chills and a crummy tummy when I got home from work yesterday, we had to get Oli on a walk in the amazing sunshine. Little did we know that we would discover the coolest little park in our backyard. 

Spring time is just around the corner :) 

it's a simple fact: i have the cutest dog in the world. 

I think my running shoes and I are going to have some magical mornings in the near future. 

Foooollow the leeader!

i'm in dire need of new shades. hence the reason i'm sporting these oversized giants :)

i dreaded leaving the couch, but by this point was sooo glad N forced me out the door. 

especially since 12+ hours later ... ... ...

i was back to my down jacket + beanie

don't worry Colorado. we love you for the bipolar weather bitch you are :)

 N surprised me for breakfast and took me to one of our old favorite breakfast places in Fort Collins called The Farmerstable. greatest breakfast food ever!

My kind of Farmerstable :) Italian Bread French Toast with fresh Strawberries, Nutella drizzle, whipped cream + almonds. you better believe I devoured all of that. It was divine!!

thanks for following along my little picture show :) i've found myself very picture happy lately. even more so than usual! hope you all enjoy a good rest of the week!

happy birthday bruderherz.

Monday celebrated my little brother's 14th birthday! It was a pretty big shock to come home to my mom's house and find this giant, teenager man, towering over my sister as he hugged her hello and pats her on the head. :-) We used to stick the poor guy in our tutus when he was still in diapers and gel his hair into moahawks, ..it's not okay for him to be this big already! :) I had hoped to get a few pictures from this night, since it's so rare for my family to get together for dinner, but I had too much fun yelling, laughing, and screaming with my siblings - I have my mom to thank for these few shots of the big birthday boy. 

tyler + tyler. the biggest friends and even bigger dorks :P

sparkly smile.

make a wish.
