STOKED | that I finalized my travel plans and booked my flight to Germany. I’ll be heading home in about a month and I am so excited.
FEELING LUCKY | that I scored a sweet hotel deal for my July half marathon weekend in San Francisco. San Francisco hotels are notoriously expensive and it’s really hard to stay anywhere downtown for less than $200, but it makes attending the race so much easier when you’re not driving in from far away. I do keep my eyes open on deal websites and sometimes I get lucky.
EATING | marble cake. I bake one every year for my birthday. It’s my favorite pound cake.
DRINKING | peppermint tea. I am still on the peppermint kick.
LOOKING FORWARD TO | some girl time with my friend Tanja next weekend! We’ve been talking about meeting up for months and we’re finally making it happen!
WEARING | sandals for the first time this year (but we also still got quite a bit of rain this month!).
READING | A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara.
WORKING ON | some new small crochet projects.
TRYING TO | finish my triangle scarf before I go to Germany, so I can have my knitting needles ready for a new color-gradient yarn cake.
LOVING | my new coffee mug, a birthday present from my bff! (It reads “you’re more than a friend, you’re a part of my life. You’re the best”.)
ENJOYING | riding my new bike. OMG, I forgot how much fun it is to have a bike and to be able to go places without a car that would take forever to walk to.
What’s going on with you currently?

March 26, 2019 at 5:08 amBiking around is so much fun! I used my bike so much when I first got it. I haven’t used it since getting pregnant and I really miss bopping around. You can cover so much ground on a bike! Shortly after you posted about getting your bike, Phil’s coworker gave Phil his bike as he bought a new one and is moving and didn’t want to hassle with selling his bike. It’s a mountain bike but I think that will be fine for the short bike rides we’d likely take as a family. Now we need to get a burley so we can pull Paul behind us!
I’m so excited that you are going to Germany! Yay for time with your family!!!!!
