sometimes...


sometimes you go a little silly in your freezing cold apartment when you're job hunting for hours on end and you have to do a little dance in your long underwear and smart wool socks to stay warm.


sometimes you get this crazy idea and say it out loud, only to discover that your designer/builder husband has decided to make that crazy idea a reality.  such was the case with needing another room for our tiny apartment.  this pile of wood will soon be our cabana which we will use as an office, lounge area, and a guest bedroom.  have i mentioned how handy-dandy the mister is?


sometimes chloe cat LOVES her little pot of wheat grass so much that she falls asleep in/on it. 


sometimes you have to get a little dolled up and head out to a fancy neighborhood eatery on a sunday night.  which is precisely what we did this weekend when we met up with our dear friends at lamill coffee {an uber hip coffee shop in silverlake} for desserts and warm drinks.  and sometimes, when you're on your way out to said coffee shop, the friendly neighbor kitty interrupts your photoshoot.


how was your weekend?

  3. Your cat on the grass again is too cute -- is that a new favorite spot? And your husband is building a cabana?? You're one lucky lady! I can't wait to see the finished product. (I, too, also do dances in long underwear and pajamas when I'm working at home and it's too cold to function.)

  11. Awww... I really liked this post and I've got quite a few things to say about it!

    Your socks look super comfy! I can't wait to see the outcome of the office. Chloe is my favorite name! Your "pet alert" sticker made me smile... as did Chloe falling asleep in her grass. And I just love how friendly you are to the neighborhood cat. That photo where he/she is pawing at your leg and you've got a "whatchya want?" kind of look... too cute!

    My weekend was very relaxing, thank ya! : )

  27. First of all-- great loungewear.. really great dinner outfit too!

    Secondly, your Chloe is just adorable. Second pic got a good giggle out of me..

    And thirdly, so jealous of your handy designer/contractor/all- around-guy husband. I'm trying to get mine to paint the hallway/living room/kitchen ceilings white before I turn 80.
    That room looks like it's going to turn out really well. I can't wait to see pics of the finished product!
