in the past few days….

 I made us cinnamon sugar pancakes to celebrate a sunny Saturday morning:

happy saturday

I made a mixed berry sauce & topped them with maple syrup and butterrrrrrrr……..

pancakes are fun

so good!  i licked my plate clean:

a pancake was murdered here

-went to Ikea (bought mirror & awesome napkins)

-went to Home Depot for supplies

-had another frozen yogurt experience at Fraiche with my neighbors (yum! they loved it too!)

-went out for Indian food on Saturday night (so good! note to self- don’t eat Indian food that late AGAIN!)

-spent Sunday afternoon with a friend and had a little photo excursion while running errands

here’s some highlights:

and then we had some crepes at Ti Couz in the mission.  Love that place!

It was a good/busy weekend.

Three things that helped me get through the day:

1. Tea with an old neighbor in my old ‘hood

2. Dinner courtesy of my mom. I heated up frozen sauce & meatballs my mom gave me. Her handwriting on the outside of the ziploc was soo cute! She wrote the meatball count: 12

spaghetti & meatballs!

I love her. She makes us chocolate suckers and sends them in the mail!

These are for Valentines Day:

my mom makes us valentine's candy

3. I started my morning with some yummy coffee & watched the squirrels play around the backyard

a glimpse of sun today

just another sunday

the anticipation kills me

so basically—Tea, Coffee & Meatballs helped me get through the day!
