The last couple of days has been a bit hectic for me. Nothing too exciting to share so how about some total random photos? Glad we agree. ;-)
I finally used the Starbucks gift card Santa left in my stocking!
Mind you, I took this photo in the drive-thru after ordering my drink. But by the time I advanced in the car line, paid for my drink, received my drink and pulled away, I totally forgot to take a picture of its goodness. Blogger of the Year material! Sigh. Either way, it was a Chai Tea Latte. And now I want another one!
My new favorite breakfast!
Two eggs with sautéed (in one tsp olive oil) mushrooms, spinach and red onion. Topped with a bit of feta cheese. Oh so good and filling! I had this yesterday morning and seriously was no hungry for lunch until about six hours later.
I bought a couple of containers of spring salad mix and a giant bag of spinach from Costco for a potluck salad luncheon at work. Everyone went for the spring mix and barely touched the spinach. Now I have a LOT of spinach to use up. I think I am up to the challenge! You can expect to see many photos of green things here soon.
I am STILL growing my bangs out. Seems to be a never-ending process. I wear headbands a lot when I work out. Or this…
Twist and clip. So pretty. Not sure what the lovely streak across my cheek is. Looks like clown make-up, if you ask me.
Yesterday, I got the chance to drive by my old house. I miss this commute!
And I noticed they have done a lot of work on the trail that ran along the river next to our old subdivision.
I checked into it and found out the trail now runs over 11 miles one way. I will be exploring it very soon!
OMG Becky showing off her new favorite sweater she got for Christmas. Still can’t believe she is fifteen now.
How is that even possible? I realized this morning, she is as close to being 30 years old and as is to being the infant I remember. Blows my mind.
The lake next to our subdivision at sunset earlier this week.
Scenes like this really help when I miss Oregon.
Do you hang on to gift cards or spend them right away?
Have you ever had to grow out your bangs? How long did it take?
Do you live near a body of water?
I have two gift cards from christmas that I haven’t even thought about lol I need to get on that!
Yes, you do! I never forget mine. They call my name until I use them!
I live near Lake Superior! Love water
I tried to grow out all my hair over the summer and fall then realized I like it shorter! Be patient!
Patient I am not! That will probably be me. By the time I grow it out, I will decide to cut it all off.
so new reader here but you are gorgeous, that last picture is amazing. oh the never ending bang saga, I took like three years to grow mine out so they matched the rest of my hair
Welcome Alex! You are too sweet! Three years? Oh my. Guess I have awhile to go. I am only a year into it and still can’t tuck them behind my ears yet.
Great sunset shot! I live in the bay area, the water is about a mile & a half away.
I remember growing out my bangs several years ago. It actually doesn’t take too long and cute headbands help keep you patient.
I bet it is beautiful there!
I used to live in Seattle and now I live in the Mojave desert. I miss the water EVERY DAY. Your daughter is gorg!!
Thank you! The desert is one place that I don’t think I could live. Would be so hard!
