gratitude! {and how much i love the earth}

merry earth day!!!
can you believe it? two whole holidays in a row, plus this weekend will be easter!
whew, so fun!

today i will be giving the earth a giant hug and telling it how much i love it.  i really really do!  you know when you take a ridiculously long flight and finally touch down 14 hours later and think, "i'm so happy to be back on land!!!" those are exactly the times when i realize how much i love this big hunk {hubba hubba!} of rock zipping through space.  and a lot of us may live in separate countries,
but as far as the earth is concerned, we all share the same home.  i love that too.
so thank you little planet for taking care of every single one of us. you're so dreamy!!

here are some of the other things for which i am thankful this week:
* playing with adorable dogs at the spca {and did i fall completely head over heels in love with more than one of those pups? why of course i did!}
* beginning to get some call backs about jobs {finally, at least people see that i exist!}.
* a super sweet, loving chloe cat who cuddled up to me when i was sad one day.
* garlic fries, cinnamon rolls, & the ability to eat only these things for dinner, guilt-free.
* finally {finally!!} writing and mailing some thank you letters from our wedding {only 7 months late...}.
* beginning the week with great art at the brewery art walk.
* discovering sweet new music to learn on the ukulele. 
* and i'm most thankful of all for - the Railroad Revival Tour!! this afternoon we'll be heading over to the coast to hear old crow medicine show, edward sharpe and the magnetic zeros {i lit his cigarette once!}, and mumford & sons.  yeee!

what are you thankful for today?

    I am thankful for Fridays, for completing a week alive and in good health, for cheese pizza and a clean/organized bedroom (I know, I know... my list is a little random haha)

    Happy Easter

    Some friends and I claimed a picnic table outside of Railroad Revival in Oakland! None of us could get tickets, so the next best thing was to go listen and oh how fun it was! It took place at one of my favorite places in Oakland, out at the Port and our picnic table was right next to the gorgeous train the bands are touring around in! I'm sure it's much better inside the show, but a good time was still had. :)
