Twitter-ites

A great musician (Molly Jenson) posted this on her new blog. It's good to laugh about how caught up I sometimes get in the social networking ploys. I thought about tweeting this, but that seemed like overkill. Enjoy.

Hawaii?

I think it's pretty safe to say that I'm excited about my new habitat for the next year. And that I get to bring a buddy along with me. Just in case you don't know what Hawaii looks like, here:



So, I got a sweet gig working at a audiology clinic in Honolulu, about a mile from the beach. The sound booth even has a window overlooking the water so patient's don't feel locked in. Strange, but I'll take it. In lieu of getting paid, our little apartment is furnished and paid for. Oh, and we get a bike to pedal around on.

I'm nervous/scared/excited for this next year's adventure. Come and visit. You know you want to.

New Obsession Alert!

Hello people.

I have been unable to stop listening to Anya Marina's new album "Slow & Steady Seduction: Phase II". It's quite fabulous.

In fact, if it were up to me, I would have played it on repeat for the entire drive from Cali to Utah. Never tiring of it. 'Cause that's just how I am. Obsessed.

Darling Dishes

My future sister-in-law introduced me to the new Orla Kiely houseware designs that Target is selling for a limited time about two weeks ago. We both decided it would be a good addition to the wedding registry, so she went on a search for anything she could get. Unfortunately, she wasn't able to get any dishes. But Orem's Target did not disappoint. The beau and I bought many dinner plates, bowls and glasses. Oh, and also two dope cork-board place-mats. So two months from today, we will be eating in style. Check out the cuteness (Isn't the apron just precious?):
