Outfit of the day

So, I wanted to let you all in on a new little obsession of mine. It's the Fatshionista Livejournal community. Lovely people of all shapes and plus sizes post thoughts and ideas, and also pictures of what outfits they have worn and where they got them. I've posted a few OOTDs (that's "outfit of the day" to you) myself, and wanted to cross link them for posterity:

That is all.

Housewifish

So, I'm baking bread tonight. I found this awesome recipe via my fat-blogging friends at Random Quorum. The bread recipe was made last night, and is currently rising in a bowl with a cute dish towel thrown over it at home. I will "punch the dough down" and let it rise for 2 more hours, then bake it and enjoy delicious bread with butter and all manner of toppings on it.

After that, I'll churn some butter and darn Bob's socks. (hint: I've done one of these already in my married life).

Update:

A surprise trip

From Portland july 4th 2009

To portland! I tasked Bob (ok, I nudged him, much gentler than a tasking), by saying "plan a surprise weekend trip for us for the 4th". And he did! We woke up earlier friday morning (we both had the day off) and set off in Bob's car. I had no idea where we were going, he said to pack an overnight bag, that I didn't need a bathing suit or a passport. So I knew we weren't going to canada, and was pretty sure we weren't flying because he didn't mention it. Once we got on I-5 heading south (Actually, a little before that), I guessed that maybe we were going to Portland.

We had such a great time - we stayed at the Ace Hotel, which is where we stayed on our road trip up, in a really sweet suite room (see that, sweet suite? huh?). Bob planned an awesome itinerary that included the Escher exhibit at the Portland Art Museum. We also went to this really cool museum of forestry in the middle of this huge park/arboretum. We also hit up Powell's city of books, which was total sensory overload for a book lover like me. We were lucky to escape with only $100 spent. I'll write up the books I think as I read them. Because I'm so good at updating frequently :).

It was so much fun - my husband is the bestest. I love you baby!
