Picked up this cute print by Amy Borrell at Urbans. I do love her work so much. Bows + birds = unbeatable combination.

No grading to do today. I’m enjoying this beautiful Sunday for a bit and then it’s back to photo editing and maybe a few more blog posts for the week. Mag and Joe will keep me company. This spring break has come and gone too soon.
March madness
Thursday 3.15.2012
When things are slow here, it really feels like time has stopped, and when things finally pick up, it moves at such a fast pace that I can’t keep up. Playing catch up this month (from left to right) with Instagrams:
… March is always a busy month for me, especially when it comes to birthdays. I still haven’t fully recuperated from Christmas and early winter birthdays, so I’m definitely falling short on gifts this month for a couple of friends. It’s at the top of my to-do list for sure. In my family, we don’t generally do birthday gifts, we usually wait to go bat-shit crazy on Christmas, but it’s always nice to fit in a dinner with the entire family once in awhile. We took our parents to the “Old Man’s” beignet cafe after dinner. The crowd was a bit noisy and young, but the parents really enjoyed the freshly battered and fried beignets and coffee …
… bringing my work with me always, but I managed to fit in time for a buttery croissant at Agora. (Yes, that is an old ass laptop. You jelly?)…
… new record shop in town. It’s got a cozy corner where I can listen and test out vinyls before purchasing …
… falling for red hues lately …
… welcome Spring! I love seeing all the pretty blooming trees around town this past week …
… pit stop at MAM’s as always …
… I’ve been so preoccupied with work and Austin that I totally forgot to mention the Radiohead concert. Thom Yorke, can you be any more bad ass? Accompanied by Roshan and AJ, we went to see our first Radiohead show together, and I can’t even begin to express how cool that was to finally see Thom Yorke perform and his lazy eye. Read awesome review here.
… Homeslice before we left Austin on Monday …
ups and downs

this week in Instagrams…
It’s been a roller coaster of emotions and energy levels this week. I’m just glad I was able to fit some couch time in during the weekend. Things are settling in a bit at work. And I think I had a wonderful breakthrough with one student in particular today, which really made me love my job for the first time in a while. I’ve always been the reserved type in college, but I was never short of ideas. Today during one of the class critiques, I found myself voicing my opinions in such a passionate manner that I had to pause for a minute to realize it and take it all in. It was a good way to end the week.
scenes from above…
…watching the Grammys with Maggie and Chloe and pile of laundry
…custom Totinos all week long. I’m really going to try to cook lunch next week.
…my favorite Instagram shot this week. There’s always a few of these white egrets or cranes hanging about in the fields near campus on my drive home
…Saturday was spent driving all day to the Freeport and back… This lonely pier was awesome even the wind almost blew me off. The weather’s been cold and hot and cold and rainy all week.
…a mini-reunion at Royal Oaks with the guys and Alia, who always makes me laugh

my classics
Friday 2.10.2012
Rummaging through my old book of CD’s. These albums still have a special spot in my iPod today. I kind of miss making mixes, especially after seeing this gem (see mini record CD below).
Currently blaring on the speakers for car rides this week: The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows – Brand new
Montrose
Friday 2.3.2012
This album has definitely grown on me, especially on those 6Am drives to work this past week. This video conjures up memories of 2005 when we were young and we danced at #’s with our mini skirts and got our feet dirty, and we’d hang out at Katz after hours….
transitioning into February…

playing catch up in Instagrams…
…the much anticipated Hello Kitty iPhone case has finally arrived. I love it so much.
…my celebratory balloons floated away as I came home that evening. It was awesome to see it smiling down on me the next morning before it ascended into the atmosphere
…Mom’s vegetarian fare for New Years, rice noodles with salted roasted peanuts and a variety of fried, and soft tofu for excellent texture and taste. She gets better every year!
…I’ve been so busy trying to transition into this new work schedule that I’ve neglected my poor Maggie and Joey, who have both been kicking the empty food bowl every time it runs out.cats are smart…and spoiled.
…always feeling a bit girly everyday
…rainy drives home. A hint of auburn foliage is a relief from all the dreary grays.
