i said you never take me on surprise dates anymore.
then you went and planned this day.
oh how you manage to put a smile on my face every time.
like icky stress, junk food and mean people,
and doing the happy dance because it's friday!
hooray!
there never seems to be enough hours in a day and my task list is not shrinking.
and i've been yawning, yawning and yawning even more.
see! i just yawned again.
and i make my husband yawn cos i think it's contagious.
and it's the worst when you're trying not to yawn when you're talking to someone.
it almost makes me want to say, "please keep talking. i yawn when i'm interested."
what the camera didn't, the phone did.
xoxo,
jane

piri's birthday isn't until tuesday, but we decided to celebrate a little early with presents and homemade sweet potato cake.
we picked up a few things from olive green dog (where we got piri's bow tie for christmas) --
some treats // a cute little octopus toy // billy wolf dixon bandana // personalized id tag
(i ordered a little late so the tag is still making its way to us).
we usually stop by doggy style in dc to pick up a few bakery treats for piri for his birthday, but this year we decided to make him a cake. we steamed sweet potato and decorated with old mother hubbard milkbones and science diet training treats.
i think he liked it. he gobbled it up.
happy 14th birthday, piri.
it's going to be a fantastic year of new adventures & shenanigans.
we love little impromptu concerts in our home.
like this time when yangkyu dusted off his old guitar
and strummed a little bluesy tune for us.
the weather was so warm and the day was perfect.
we cant' wait for days like this...
dear spring,
please hurry!
xoxo,
jane
we got our newest batch of stickygrams in the mail yesterday.
yippie!
they take your instagram photos and turn them into little square magnets.
if you can't tell already, i'm kind of obsessed with pictures and i love having them all around me.
they are the best reminders of how wonderful life is.
we played in it and had hot chocolate afterwards.

maui. that's what we always said when we would ask each other that question.
we went to maui in 2010, for our late honeymoon. we stayed at a resort, but most of the time we were venturing out to where the locals businesses and stores were and chatted with people as much as we could. at one point, we talked with a lovely lady at a local maui children's bookstore. she was one of the many volunteers taking turns looking after the store to help keep it open in the midst of an economic downturn. she was really into sustainability and protecting local way of life. we also met a pineapple fruitstand vendor. his story? he came to maui on a business trip in 1980, fell in love, sent in his resignation letter via snail mail and never looked back.
for the longest time, we looked at places and jobs in maui, hoping that maybe we could start a life there. i think we really would've moved if there wasn't such a strict policy in bringing in pets from the mainland.
so for now our maui dream has been neatly tucked away. instead we like to watch hawaii life on hgtv to make ourselves feel better. :) starting life here in virginia doesn't seem so bad {until we hear of snowstorms - like the one we're getting tonight/tomorrow}. but here's to dreaming of sunshine.
