BITS & PIECES

Friday, March 15, 2013

Happy Friday, friends! Here are some bits & pieces from our last few weeks. This week has been a pretty busy one for us. Martin & I have spent our evenings car shopping... I had no idea it could be so stressful. We just said goodbye to our BMW and traded it in for a new Honda Civic, four door, in a dark metallic grey - super cute, and most importantly, not too expensive to maintain. Other than that, this Saturday I'm off to (oh my lord!) see my dentist for a tooth extraction. I'm thinking things might be a little quiet around here next week. I'll be pretty swollen and off work for a few days. Sigh! The only upside? Martin will be cooking for me and I'll be catching up on a heck of a lot of shows! I hope your weekend plans are funner than mine! ;)
Surprise roses from my love, thank you!
We recently upgraded my engagement ring. But then I changed my mind and chose an antique style ring with a princess (square) cut diamond instead... I also picked a smaller center stone. Haha, am I crazy?! In the end, it felt more me.
Statement necklaces, striped tees, and skinny jeans are my staples as of late.
A romantic dinner for two, and still loving our newly painted red dining nook.
And, doggy sitting the sweetest little girl. Need I say more?!... ;)

  1. Oh my goodness, there are just so many adorable animals in your life, V! How sweet is your kitty all curled up in the chair? I'm practically dying of cuteness overload :) Good luck with the tooth extraction, it sounds painful but I'm sure Martin will cook up some delicious and soft meals for you during your recovery! Hugs!

  15. Oh my goodness, your kitty is just so adorable! We just got a new kitten and puppy too this month, and though they're still quite a handful most of the time, especially when they're quiet and resting (at my feet!), I just can't resist their cuteness! :P

    Wishing you a speedy recovery after your tooth extraction...I've had quite a few of them in my life, and I'm all too familiar with the pain and swelling, but I'm sure you'll be back to normal in no time! :)

    Happy weekend!
