saturday fun day

hey hey! this morning was awesome because i had chocolate chip pancakes with my dear friend michelle and we got pedicures! now i'm all relaxed and can enjoy a star wars marathon on tv and study my heart out (return of the jedi is on, my very favorite!) (right now jabba the hutt's first lady prisoner is getting eaten by the rancor, ek).

stuffed yoda from target . . . i'm not too old for toys!

it's a good day for staying inside and cleaning/studying because the weather is nasty, cloudy, and chilly.

i can't believe that i almost didn't complain to you all about how i got sick last week! oh my goodness! one of the main reasons i love my blog is because i can complain to my friends and family all at once! i must be getting more mature because i didn't even think to mention it until just now when i almost choked trying to cough up some phlegm. LOL. anyway, so i've been sick. like chest cold-congestion-sore throat-runny nose-sinus pressure-multicolored phlegm sort of sick. and it lasted about a week and for this last week its sort of been tapering off, but lingering in the form of drainage. yum. that's all! i'm pretty much better.

ok, happy saturday! i have to go get things done. xoxo,

kate and ellie

study study wine wine

regarding the lovely photo collage above, i am wondering if anyone can identify the purple flowers? i found them growing in the grass like weeds, so i picked em and plopped em in a vase. awesome. i am just concerned as to whether or not they are poisonous, to humans and/or canines? are they weeds? 

and in other news, i'm studying hard for a class called head, neck and special senses:

eyeballs to wear in your hair

a thyroid gland of felt

or crocheted thyroid, if you so prefer!

this is a dog toy

and finally, a larynx . . .

i just love etsy.com. there is always something wonderful and applicable to my life.

this marks my fifth day of providing posts in a row! you're welcome, world. i've enjoyed this week of sharing with you. hopefully i'll keep it up. but who even knows! until we speak again, i leave you will a work from a poetic genius as motivation for the weekend:

"draw a crazy picture, write a nutty poem, sing a mumble-gumble song, whistle through your comb. do a loony-goony dance' cross the kitchen floor, put something silly in the world, that ain't been there before"

talk to you later, xoxo,

vlog deux

heyyy friends, check it*:

also,

i took the outdoorsy pictures of the pretty trees while i was biking home. sans helmet. i know, mom. it won't happen again, probably. you'll also notice the princess with her cupcake, some chipotle, as well as my cupcakes (yes, i bought 2. i'm not even embarassed) (also, notice the strawberry one on the left. wouldn't it have looked funny if i had gotten 2 of the strawberry ones? lol). 

xoxo,

fun aroud town

last weekend i got to hop on over to the eastern market area for lunch with abby and michelle. on the way over, there was tons of metro traffic because of the cherry blossom festival. i am going to try to make it to the mall at some point to see the beautiful trees - just not when it's swarming with crowds! anyway, lunch with m and a was such a lovely time. we got pupusas from a a little el salvadorian joint and then ate in the sun. the food was delicious and the company was refreshing!

 

in other news, i've discovered that i really don't like the word "gelatinous". apparently there are "gelatinous" substances in inner ears. EW.

well friends, this is a short post. but we'll chat more later!

horray!

ellie loves the great outdoors

another post! two in as many days! you're welcome! kate's back to the blog world. maybe i'll have another vlog soon, since it was wildly* popular last time.

in other news, i'm trying to iron out my summer plans. there is a possibility that i might be able to work in kc for a month or so in the summer. which would be a lovely time, but i have to figure out a few timing/dwelling/vehicular transportation/cash flow sorts of logistical things before i can say for sure. so there's that! i'll obviously keep you - my dear committed readers - updated.

here are some awesome photos of little miss cute eleanor with some colorful tulips and miscellaneous plants (spring is in the process of springing!). what these pics show is that there is nothing i can do to get this pup to look at the camera when we're outdoors. there is too much awesome stuff going on to capture her attention like cars driving, critters running amok, and people on power walks. oh well. the pictures still turned out pretty darn cute. 

talk to you again tomorrow, if all goes well! 

love, 

k and e

*by wildly, i mean somewhat. i got three (3! that is a lot!) comments on that entry and almost as many verbal affirmations of the same nature. whoa!

i'm back, no big deal :)

sorry for the long absence! ooooops.

since we last talked, i passed sdr (horray happiness!), had a lovely spring break in kc, and started a course called head and neck at school. the head and neck are complicated areas of the body for sure! there are many nerves and blood vessels snaking about and supplying a multitude of muscles.

anyway, about spring break! i headed to kc with little e in tow and we had a wonderful time catching up with family and friends alike.

sorry for the brevity . . . must go learn more! will update more tomorrow!

xoxo,

kate and ellie

p.s. tonight there's supposed to be a good old fashioned thunderstorm . . . lovely!
