smelling: the scents of fall! fall is my absolute favorite season (even before it was #cool). i've been stepping out into some crisp mornings and breathing in the wonderful, fresh air. the scent is invigorating and inspiring. i always feel my best self in the fall. i feel the most creative and inspired and happy when the leaves and temperature begin to drop.
loving: i can't say fall again, can i? i'm saying it.
planning: a trip to california! my boyf is standing up in a wedding for one of his buddies in two weeks, and i get to tag along as his date and adventure buddy. we will be going back to the area where i was born-monterey/carmel/pacific grove. i don't have many expectations for the trip except to hang with my sweet man and hit up a few choice coffee shops. i am down for whatever else we do! we have talked about driving the 17 mile drive through pebble beach and pacific grove, doing some hiking, hanging with some of his friends and family, and exploring the beach area, etc. bring it on, california.
baking: i have not been baking at all! i've been so busy with life that i haven't been spending much time measuring out the sugar and flour. however, dan and i just ate the best peanut butter ganache brownie last week, and i have it in my head that i want to recreate it. it's next on my to-bake list.
celebrating: a few weeks ago, my roommate joined club 29! bout time. we celebrated with pizza at our favorite place in durham with some of our good girlfriends and then drove to charlotte to spend the weekend with our friend chelsea. we had a great time and amy rang in year 29 with such grace.
linking up here and here. go see what all the fuss is about!
Fun, fun! We went to the Monterey area a few years ago, and it's so beautiful. Enjoy! And thanks for linking up.
ReplyDeleteyeah the trip can't get here soon enough! thanks for hosting.
DeleteYour comment about loving fall before it was #cool cracked me up! And those brownies sound pretty amazing, and definitely worth re-creating! Stopping by from the "currently" linkup, nice to meet you! :)
ReplyDeletehaha it's true! suddenly it's hip and cool to like fall. say what? yeah, those brownies were SERIOUS. i can't even. i'm still thinking about them clearly. glad you stopped by! i always love this link-up. :-)
DeleteFall really is the best though, trendy or not. The air just smells so good! It smells like magic! I've been sleeping with my window open because it feels so good at night. I mean yeah, in the morning it is absolutely freezing and it's miserable getting out of bed but I just can't stop! Have fun in Cali! I'm very jealous of your trip!
