A little off-kilter but still a blank slate.

It's hot and steamy outside today.
Stay Cool.

Just a few pictures from my recent adventures. Enjoy!

Things that make me smile.

Flash Mobs!!!

yay for cheese!

biking on the brain.

Biking season is certainly here. I'm already behind all the 'real' bikers because my bikes are still in the basement. Lame. I think Minneapolis is actually going to make it through March without one single snowflake. That's pretty monumental. Temps this week will reach the 70s. A must-do for this week: a bike ride!

spring green.

goodbye green. day 5.

Here's my final green attire for the week. I wore this green shirt and scarf to work with a brown sweater. Yay for green.

green. day 4.

St. Patrick's Day. Green Day 3.

Here is day 3 of being green. I really wanted to wear a green dress today - but it's a summery dress that just didn't work with my schedule for the day. Instead, I chose a spring green and white plaid shirt. Still green. Still fun. I went out in St. Paul for happy hour and made lots of friends at the Wild Times and McGovern's. Yay for St. Paul and green beer.

it's not easy being green. day 2.

Day 2 of green. Everyone at work kept telling me today that I should have waited to wear this on St. Patrick's Day. Little do they know how many green clothes I have!

it's not easy being green. day 1.

I was thinking about what green shirt I would wear for St. Patrick's Day this year... then I realized that I have too many options. So, what better way to celebrate than to wear green all week long! Sounds like a plan to me. Here's the shirt I wore today.

drops of sticky goodness.

sneak peak.

Here's just one of the pictures I took last weekend.
The blue hue is captivating to me. Enjoy.

dreaming of green.

I was walking into the gym earlier this week and a gentleman said to me, "green must be your favorite color." My green boots, green backpack and green water bottle must have tipped him off. Then I noticed my entire workout outfit was green - shirt, shorts and shoes. I can't help it. I just love green! I'm really ready for green grass, green leaves, and green on St. Patrick's Day.

home sweet home.

tree love.

city blur.

seeing red.

I went through all of my 2009 pics and looked for images with RED. Here's the result.

wish I was here.

blue sky.
green grass.
picnic blanket.
sandals.
shady spot.

There's a snowstorm heading this way tomorrow so I
don't think I'll be seeing these things anytime soon!

I spy.

I spy amazing goodies all over the internet...

Laptop sleeves in a rainbow of colors.

Or a laptop case that looks like a book.

mission accomplished.

You know how you have that list of 'things you want to do before you die'? Well, my list includes taking photos of the Crookedest Street in San Francisco. I was fortunate enough to go to San Francisco last week and our hotel was just three blocks away from this tourist hot spot. Check that one off the list!

winter carnival

awesome hat!

I made this. Yum.

Earlier this month I joined forces with my friend Alex to host a baby shower for the lovely Julie. We made this amazing Peppermint Ice Cream Cake for dessert - it was a big hit!

Beautiful trees at the Ringling Museum in Sarasota.

Beaches covered in seashells.

Holiday lights Florida style.

Big Beautiful Bridge.

I spent a long weekend in Florida on the gulf coast with my sister. I had a nasty cold but we still had a great time relaxing on the beach and eating plenty of seafood.

Oh Christmas Tree!!!
