It's the Little Things

This week I've been a bit busy, but I had to make sure I still contributed! This necklace I ordered from BrideBlu on Etsy is way cuter than I had hoped! Cat was super helpful even though I messed up my address on the original order. She was very sweet and patient with me and fixed everything promptly. Don't you love great service? Make sure to go check out her shop!

It's the Little Things: New Blooms, Grilling & the HUNGER GAMES!!

This week's weather did well by my new plants! 

The transplants took beautifully. 

My tulips have already started blooming. 

The snapdragon has tons of new buds, ready to burst! 

The dahlias and morning glories have poked through the ground with lots of little sprouts. 

Everything looks great so far! 

Don't you just love projects with such tangible results?

My mom always says that it is so much more rewarding to clean a dirty house than a spotless one!

Also, I'm spoiled. 
I enjoyed dinner outdoors twice this week! 
It was a very strange feeling - relinquishing control of the cooking. Have I mentioned yet that I'm a bit of an control freak avid cook?
I did it twice though, and the results were...well...


 DELICIOUS! 


Chris grilled up a tasty dinner for us on Sunday. 
He grilled marinated pork and shrimp with butter and Old Bay -and now, I'm hungry again just thinking about it! 
My parents grilled shrimp and served it over my mom's famous Caesar salad with homemade croutons and dressing. 


Spring Break should happen more often than once annually...I'm just saying...

I also chopped off 8 inches of my hair this week. It feels FANTASTIC. Chris has only ever known me with long hair, so I was interested to see his reaction. I didn't tell him that I was getting it cut or that I had a surprise or anything.  When he got here, he told me I looked pretty twice, and then 5 minutes later realized what I had changed. 
Success! 

AND, to SAVE THE BEST FOR LAST!!!!!! 

Nothing beats the midnight premiere of the Hunger Games on a school/work night with my little sister!! We got there over an hour early and it was jam packed! We barely got seats together. They did such a great job with the movie. Obviously, they had to leave out several small things from the book, to fit it into a reasonable amount of time, but honestly, they captured the characters and the storyline very well. I wanted to start from the beginning and watch it a second time as soon as it ended! 


May the odds be ever in your favor!

It's the Little Things

Happy Friday! Here are a few little things that have brightened my week!

Finals are OVER and it is SPRING BREAK! Spring break looks a little bit different in grad school than it did in college.

I still have to work this week, but my evenings are open!

I don't even know what I'm going to do with all of this free time!

Last night, I attended (cool)progeny ' s event in Fell's Point. 

No, I'm not a mom (and don't plan to be one anytime soon), but my friend Sarah's older sister organized the event. 

Be honest, would you really turn down a girly night with vino, shopping and fun snacks?

I certainly didn't!

Even though I'm currently fighting with my kitten, she definitely is adorable and has made me smile more than once this week.

The Little Things

This week, I'm linking up with Lindsay at Hello Hue to celebrate the little things. Scroll to the bottom for instructions on linking up!

This week I'm celebrating a birthday, the boy, bright sunshine, and a break from Baltimore.
Haha, sorry, I couldn't resist going with "B" words once I started!
So here we go!

Last weekend, I got to celebrate my little sister's 19th birthday with her! Every year, the 5ish year age difference becomes less and less!

Doing the distance dating thing can be a bit hard sometimes, but sweet messages like this make me so much happier. 

Not to mention, I now have proof that he might one day possibly consider doing yoga with me!

The sun decided to give me a bit of respite from the overcast angriness that's been lurking around Baltimore the past couple of days!

I leave for Cape May this afternoon! Looking forward to a relaxing weekend with lots of Lucy puppy playtime!
