I see you.
These glasses are a street artist’s signature in Austin. A pair of these on a different wall on my apartment’s property was one of the first pieces of street art I saw when I moved to the ATX. It was love at first sight.

So it started like this. My friend asked where to buy tahini an ingredient used in hummus. I thought to myself, “Trader Joes”. Which then drove me to their site to see if they have any in her state. Turns out they don’t, but what I did see is that one is being built like feet from my home. SCORE!!! Scheduled to open in 2013. I happen to love Trader Joe’s hummus. Kat Daddy and his mom used to save the last Druid Circle (a Trader Joe’s brand of cookies) for each other. So needless to say, we’re thrilled for this addition to our neighborhood.
You too can make a delicious batch of hummus with this recipe. Or pick up a tub from Trader Joe’s. 
Funny story, I didn’t wash my car this weekend. And I’m losing my mind, but let’s blame it on the gym’s poor communication.
I showed up to spin 10 minutes early on Saturday. Weird thing is, after warming up for 20 minutes, nobody else showed up. Turns out all classes were cancelled. No email, no heads up at the check-in counter no notice in the spin room. RUDE.
Then I finished up my own condensed version of spin and went home. I got ready for the day and did some chores (clean out a closet, pay some bills, etc.). Then got a call from a friend in town wondering why I didn’t show up to lunch. Well, I thought lunch was on Sunday. How disappointing to miss lunch with a bestie all because I had Sunday in my mind. Ugh and sigh.
Later I made blueberry pancakes for lunch. After finishing my pancakes I realized the whole reason I made pancakes was to use up the fresh blueberries I had in the refrigerator. I’m such a genius, I used frozen blueberries.
For dinner I made brown rice, peas and smart ground and mixed them up in a bowl. I dumped what I thought was a little soy sauce on top and gave it another stir. After taking a bite and spitting it out, I realized I doused my dinner with Worcestershire sauce.
So let’s continue to blame it on the gym and not the fact that a piece of my brain is missing. OK? OK.

I just warned my best friend to not be jealous of my weekend plans. You ready? I hope you’re not terribly envious. You could always join me ya know.
I’m washing my car. That’s right. After my favorite weekly workout tomorrow, I’m driving my car to the car wash. The one where only people who live in apartments go to. The one with the big, cement stalls and hoses that barely squirt any water. That trickle of water costs $1.50 for three minutes.
I have bugs stuck on my grill from a round trip drive to Houston. That drive was in February. My bug preservation techniques come from an early love of entomology. Not really. I only have passion for reality TV and sugar.
My car is so dirty that although was white when I bought it, is now more of a carbon or slate grey hue. My wheels that were once a shiny metal are clouded with sticky, black, brake dust, road grime, dirt and heavens knows what else.
Now that you resent me for having such an exciting weekend, what are your plans?
It’s Doug Funny and his dog, Porkchop! Aren’t they the cutest defacing of public property you’ve ever seen?
LOOK AT ALL THESE CLOTHES
HOW CAN TWO PEOPLE PRODUCE THIS MUCH LAUNDRY IN ONE WEEK
WE HAVE TOO MUCH
THIS NEW LAUNDRY DETERGENT SMELLS NICE
MY ARMPITS STINK
DARN, THAT STAIN DIDN’T COME OUT. ANOTHER NICE SHIRT WASTED.
I NEED A MAID. AND AN ASSISTANT.
IF I WON THE LOTTERY I’D PROBABLY DO MY OWN LAUNDRY, BUT NOT THE FOLDING AND PUTTING AWAY PART. I’D HAVE MY MAID DO THAT.
LAUNDRY MAKES ME TIRED.
OK, I’LL STOP COMPLAINING NOW THAT THE LAUNDRY IS DONE AND PUT AWAY. NOW TO DO THOSE DISHES…

Fresh strawberries from none other than California! Buying, smelling, & eating these strawberries leaves me feeling wistful of home.
Speaking of buying strawberries, here’s a fabulous blog post about Whole Foods. I love that place and might want my ashes scattered in their produce department when I die. OK, that’s just gross. I’ll buy Whole Foods stock instead.
Heaven is a Place Called Whole Foods
Happy FRIDAY!!!! Wishing you all a weekend full of fun, strawberries and whipped cream!
