Clockwise from top left...
1. On of my co-workers has a box full of Dum Dums. I frequently dip my hand into that box at least once a day. Do I have a favorite flavor? Nope. They are all good because they all taste like sugar.2. DUNE!! I love science fiction. I really loved reading Dune in high school but had never seen the David Lynch movie. It's terrible and fantastic. Gimme some steamy Sting any day of the week. Also Kyle MacLachlan. We've been spending quite a bit of time at Central Cinema lately and it's wonderful.
3. Belle and Sebastian. Oh my goodness. I love them so much. They played lots of old stuff and lots of new stuff from the awesome Girls in Peacetime Want to Dance. I love the new album a lot, and they had lots of really fantastic visual stuff to go along with it at the live show. Really cool videos. As my friend Scott said, they're just so darn charming. Consider me charmed.
4. Donut Making. Kevin has been doing lots of baking this month. Although this was technically frying and not baking I guess. This was an attempt to recreate his favorite donut - the plain old fashion from Top Pot - using the recipe and directions in their book. The donuts were good but super rich and heavy. We both ate one of them and decided we probably didn't need to make a whole pile and would be better off just going out to the Top Pot store to get our fix. It was a fun activity, though!
1. I've been spending lots of time doing homework and things for the Project Management certificate course that I'm taking through the University of Washington. On this particular night I took my homework over to Scott's house and had Mr. Shooby Tailer help me with it while Kevin and Scott made dinner.2. Date night at Cafe Presse. It has been too long. Also, I still beam with pride every time he chooses to wear this sweater. It's held up really well to wear, and while there are some things I'd do differently if I made it again (slash am doing differently right now because I am making it again), it's still a really lovely sweater.
3. The Churchill Family Coffee Station featuring my very favorite mug from Tolt. Lately Kevin's been getting up earlier then me and I've been getting coffee delivered to me in bed each morning. So nice.
4. Cat sitting! Our dear friend Scott went out of town for severals days, which meant we got to house sit. Which really means we got to cat sit. So many snuggles and purrs from this fella. He's really turned into quite a friendly cat. As long as you don't attempt to pet him anywhere near his belly or make any quick, toy-like movements with your hands because then YOU DIE. He's also the only cat I've even met that simply likes to smell your food rather than steal it. Such a sniffer. And yes, I do realize there are two cat pictures in this month's review. Trust me when I say I held back.
1. Young Buffalo at the Tractor Tavern. We actually went to see the headliner - Matt Pond PA - but ended up really enjoying the opener a ton. Super fun live. We bought the "House" album a couple of days later and have really been enjoying it.
2. I quite frequently wear my Agatha to work with skirts and dresses (which I don't really wear outside of work too much these days since I have to dress business casual at my current job). On this particular day I was so pleased with my outfit that I just had to ask Kevin to snap my picture. The dress was one I thrifted awhile ago and altered. I shortened the length and sleeves, removed the shoulder pad (oh the 80's) and took off this lacy white trim that was appliquéd to the lapel. The hem's a bit wonky, but because it's so swishy I don't mind.
