My name is Sarahfae and I'm a Veggie-holic

Two different Cheezes, Cucumber slices w/ Dolma stuffing, and sliced Carrots

Last night's snack plate for Project Runway/Girl time.
Thank you C and R for cheering me up, and letting me feed you! I've been without quality "girl time" for so long, I forgot how important and theraputic it is.

Cheers to Friday the 13th - and to my nephews 3rd Birthday!

So far this weekend is turning out to be a lovely one.

This morning I woke up reeeeally early with D (6:30 - that's way too early for the weekend). He went to work and I actually got out of bed, went for a quick 1 mile run, did an hour of pilates, cleaned up around the house, and ate a yummy breakfast .
By the time breakfast was in my belly I realized that the day was flying by, and it was almost time to head over to the ball park to watch my friends two boys play their baseball game. Sadly the mini-Dodgers lost to the mini- Orioles, but it was fun to cheer them on (even though I didn't get to stay for the whole game).
One of my favorite things to do is watch kids sports durning the summer time. I just LOVE to cheer for them and watch the serious expressions on their little faces. Needless to say, I'm pretty excited to see the mini-Dodgers play another game. It's also pretty awesome that they're representing mine and D's favorite team --- even if they lose again, it's okay with me.

After the ball game I met up with D and did some grocery shopping (I am so in love with the produce isle), and then to home to relax for a while.

At the moment I'm wearing my black-pink-and leopard-print apron, sipping on a big mug of green tea, there's a TON of food in the dehydrator, and I'm waiting for my sundried tomatoes to finish tenderizing (they're soaking in some warm water) so I can embark on a very exciting kitchen adventure: tonight's dinner! I think it's going to be really good too.

Tonight D's band has a show at the Alibi, so if you're in the neighborhood please come by and say hello! I'll be the girl at the merch table.

This weekend has been a insanely busy.
We're actually done with Holiday parties...thank-freaking-god. But really, they've been wonderfully fun. D and I make spending time with our friends during the Holidays a major priority.
Next up: family time. Christmas Eve is going to be super special this year. I'll write more about that later though.

So today, as I was heading home from running errands I decided to take a different route than usual...and what did I see. A table and chairs in the front yard of someones house with a "free" sign on them. I know, I know, this sounds SO icky and white trash...I mean, to have a crap-load of stuff on your lawn with a free sign sitting on top of it. But in all honesty, this is just the kind of thing you see a lot of in our town.
So anyways, as I'm driving I see this table and chairs out of the corner of my eye and flip a bitch to check it out. After all, D and I are in desperate need to get a bigger/better table for our dining-room...and I'm not above taking a free-be from a front yard.
The table was AWESOME. The chairs not so much. So with one quick call B and C met me at the corner of 18th and Harrison, and just like that I got us a new dining-room table. Yay. It seats eight [six comfortably], and with a little tlc it's going to be the perfect place to enjoy a meal with friends and family. I'll show it off soon.

After the table adventure B and C convinced me to tag along with them on a quick trip up to Kneeland to find some snow. Once the snow was located [at the Kneeland elementary school] we threw a ton of snowballs, swung on the swings, and because D was busy with work and band practice, built a snowman in his honor:

 

...should always begin like today.

Sharing a hot cup of black and mint tea, and a big bowl of sliced oranges with a sweet friend.
Lucy and Kona have a play date while C is in class. After they did their tussling and bouncing around [there's really no hiding how much they love each other], they've settled into "quiet time", both with a bone and lying on separate blankets next to one another. Of course I had to snap a pic of their cuteness.

Things have been so busy lately that I haven't had anytime to post pics -- in spite of the fact that I've taken so many.

D and I went to the pumpkin patch a week before Halloween with our friends Lindsey and Brillo, and their adorable little boy Asher (I call him Thrasher). We always have a good time hanging out with them, but I've got the pics to prove it...
