10 on 10: Sunday Funday Edition

The weekends lately have been full. So full. All good things, all good things.

Sunday naps are a thing of the past, mostly because there is so much good stuff to do right now.

Soon, several friends will move, and there will be more time.

But for now, Sundays are really, really good.


As usual, procrastinating and waking up early to print church bulletins. And munch on a macaron.

And then printing bulletins. My tiny apartment has unusual storage. No linen closets, or hall closets, no pantry or any other small storage. Just two giant walk ins. One is converted into an office, and with no enclosed garage or anything else, I use it as my storage area for everything else. Saturday was spent cleaning and purging all the clutter that has collected there. 14 bags of junk - who knew I even had space for 14 bags of junk in 777 square feet, but I did. And this is the final, organized product. It should be noted, I have an entire container dedicated to theme parties.

Running powerpoint. This is my favorite song right now. Reminds me of Sunday school as a kid. 

A little shopping and who do we find but Ashley doing her #mugswap14 shopping :)
Her creepy husband in the back was excited to be there too.

Tea time. It's exciting, I tell ya.

My sister insisted on a sweet treat in our future.  Not a problem.

And then I went chair shopping, and got the steal of the century. $179 marked as $89, rang up as $39. I think that is over 75% off or something.

I guess one of us got a Sunday nap.

Move over caprese, this is my current obsession. Trader Joe's brioche toasts, brie, & jam (this one is Strawberry/Ollalieberry)

Another Sunday Funday in the books.

Ten on Ten with Ben!

Allo, gov'nor!

Or, hello from England! 

Don't worry, I will be headed home very, very soon. Going full speed for 16 days is awesome and exhausting. 

For now, a recap of this fabulous 10th day of July. My second international 10 on 10. I am very fortunate! 

Today, my sister Laura and I did a "London in a Day" tour. It had the makings of a great tour but our guide left me with quite a headache and some irritated nerves, but was over all a good day! 

First up, Westminster Abby. From the outside.

Then we headed to the London Tower to check out the Crown Jewels. I accidentally missed the no photos sign, but thankfully did not get arrested and sent to the torture tower. 

Selfies with the beefeater. 

Left, right, left, right, left...

A quick cruise down the River Thames

Before catching the changing of the guards.

After lunch we made our way to St Paul's Cathedral (where Charles and Diana were married). 

And climbed alllllll the way to the top. Up, up and around the dome. Over 500 steps for this spectacular view!!!

And after a long and exhausting, but really incredible day, we had a Champagne Tea at the Park Plaza Westminster Hotel. With Big Ben hanging out by the window.

And lastly, one more quick visit to the London Eye before calling it a day and heading in for the night, and some much needed sleep.

10 on 10: Santa Cruz Mother's Day Edition

Saturday morning.

Snug as a bug in a rug.

I see you. 

Waiting to go.

Returning a block of cheese and 2 avocados. And some mother's day booty.

Dropping off some goodies to grandma. 

Finally made it to Santa Cruz. Hanging at (under) the wharf.

The Boardwalk, so photogenic.

And so classic.

Back in town. Tzatziki & gyros, mediterranean food is my love language.

10 on 10: April 2014

So, I missed March. I'm a little bummed that I did, but it was a boring day and I forgot to take pics after 10 am.

So here we are in April. A regular day, full of happy moments. 

What? You don't have a disco ball next to your bibles? 

Actually made my bed for the third day in a row. It needed to be documented. 

Getting ready.

Happy.

Lucky lady.

Cheesy puffs are his love language.Pretty sure he's using me as his dealer.

Afternoon fuel. 

Dinner of feelings, with friends, who also have feelings. 

This girl chooses her PJ's for me, whether she wants to antagonize me with cat jammies or impress me with dog jammies. Tonight she compromised, dog top, cat bottoms. She's a clever little critter.

Watercolor skies.
