Lately Lovelies

Lately … Timothy and I have really gotten into Scrabble.  He had been asking me to play with him for ages, and I was all “that could never be fun.”  Well, I was wrong.  Our favorite spot to play is this certain picnic table high high up on a hill.  You have to drive up scary roads to get there, but once there it is like a quiet little secluded heaven.  And it doesn’t hurt that I always beat him.  Boom.

Lately …  my brother has been too legit.  Too legit to quit in his oversized aviators.

Lately … we’ve been on quite a few road trips.  Including this one, where we drove ten hours through the night.  He took the first shift while I slept, and I took the second one.  We made it home thirty minutes before he had to leave for work.  I’m pretty sure I never want to do that again.

Lately … I’ve been drinking coffee from home, so the occasional Starbucks treat is pretty exciting.  Especially when combined with a handmade quilt and some knitting.

Lately … I’ve been obsessed with ruffles.

Lately … I conquered the continental purl!  For all you non-knitters, bare with me.  This was a big deal.  I’ve tried for a long time and I finally got it!  I don’t like it, but I’ve got it.  Ha!

Lately … my whole family has been obsessed with Orange Leaf.  Last week was the first time any of us had been there and now our lives are forever changed.  Orange Leaf, I love you and your cute little spoons.

Lately … my man and I have just had too much fun.

Lately … I rode a bicycle for the first time since I was six.  It’s as scary now as it was then.  (And yes, that would be my brother’s friend videoing the experience.  Rude kid.  Ha!)

What have you been up to lately?
