Doughnuts and things

Well hi. 

Don't be peeved at me for being so anti-climatic with my blog postings. They're sporadic right now and I just can't help it. 

But first, doughnuts. 

Last week I went to a doughnut themed baby shower. I brought along some fancy doughnuts from work. Let's just say I won on who brought the best doughnuts.  Sorry Dunkin....

Black Current

Earl Grey

I would like a doughnut themed party in my future. I suppose a baby shower is more fitting since you cant really tell how many doughnuts you've packed on with a baby bump.

I can't stop staring at my ring. I'm in love with it.


We made a vertical garden that, to me looks beautiful. We're growing beans, fennel, strawberries, beans, thyme, rosemary and sage!

I can run again! It has been a gift from the heavens.

(I am not one-legged)

Tyler's mom was here recently and we made a smorgasbord of brunchy items.
I could get used to this.

Rye is now getting into the study of wine.

And Barley is becoming a professional model.

I got a new nightgown and I adore it.

I took some stills from the proposal video!

 

And that's that folks!

lately

I've fallen off the planet and onto the planet of having a full time job and two weekend jobs. 

Needless to say, blogging has been put onto the back burner. Unfortunately. 

I thought I'd do a little bit of an update on what's been happening as of late. Other than the fact that I recently got engaged ;)

1. Last weekend I took the first level of the Court of Masters Sommelier Exam. 

Two days, 16 hours, 22 wines, a million notes and a 70 question exam later, I passed! 

The way that they announce who passes was quite possibly the worst way you could ever do it. They passed out champagne to everyone who took the exam and then announced out loud each person who passed. The names that were not called, did not pass. 

Thankfully, my name was called relatively early on. I am almost positive that an ulcer was forming with anticipation of hearing my name. 

Tyler took me out to dinner to celebrate. We noshed on oysters and wine at Arielle in Rhinebeck. 

2. I recently took on another job as service captain at Buttermilk Falls Inn for upcoming weddings. 

It is an unbelievably beautiful place to get married. It's going to be a great way to really see what it takes to put on a wedding. Also makes me nervous about planning our own. At least I'll have an inside scoop!

3. Not too much to talk about food, but here are a few photos. I've been a sucker for pb+js. 

 4. I have recently discovered Kell on Earth and the Rachel Zoe Project and have fallen in love with the chaotic mess of reality fashion industry tv. 

5. I am really looking forward to trying on wedding dresses. I'm not interested on spending a boat load of money on the dress, but it's going to be fun to try them on and pick one out. 

Here's the look that I hope will look good on my bod:

All photos are from my pinterest.

That's all I can think about for now, I think.

I'm not sure who or if anyone is still reading my blog, but if you are, tell me what you want to read and see on here now a days!
