my new cruiser

My big brother surprized me with this new cruiser! I was so excited... I still am! However, I won't get the chance to ride it until Monday. Lame. I hope the sun decided to pay me a visit that day!

sunday breakfast.1

My favorite part of Sunday: breakfast at the diner across the street from my job. Definitely not the best breakfast in Seattle. Not even on the Top 10 in my opinion, but it hits the spot. And not too bad for $8.

The sun was shining hard through the diner window.

A perfect morning, listening to the wind shuffle through the leaves. 

There aren't many problems in my life that can't be solved with a cup of hot chocolate.

sweets from my sweetie

My lover was at work late last night [he tends bar], but these goodies awaited my arrival home. I'm completely spoiled by him & I adore every single second of it.

I had to snap these two quick photos because I eat the cake in literally less than a minute. Its a bit of a running joke at my house: Can she make the cake last more than 60 seconds.

made a wish

I took a mile walk on my lunch break. I work only 2 days a week, Saturday & Sunday, leaving me with 5 days off each week... if you don't count school. I LOVE my work schedule. It gives me plenty of free time to do all the thing I want to do: paint, sleep in, take long walks, kayak all day long, breakfast beginning at 1pm and ending at 3. Although there is a catch, my shifts are doubles = 16 hours aka 32 hours in two days. But it works for me. And weekends are so slow I can do homework here [eek! I just admitted I'm at my actual job typing this!], I can blog, I can draw... oh and I can work :P Anyhoo, I made a wish on my break. I'll let you know if/when it comes true!

Happy Administrative Professionals Week!
