Pote!

YEAH!!!!! Today was the day for the Pre-Grand Opening of the very first Chipotle in the old DSM!

I was honored by the accompaniment of my new flatmate Brittany. We stood in the very long line for about 40 minutes before we got our FREE burritos, chips, salsa, and guacamole. Well worth it! but I knew that....

Here we are standing in the long long line.

Our reflection....

It's about time I get a moving on getting new things listed. It's been a busy last month.
Some things have gone to the wayside.

enjoy!

On my mind

I've got cake on my mind. I think I dreamt about it all night long last night. These are a few of my favorite cake pics I have collected recently from the web.

Art Class

This past weekend, I along with friend Sarah took a road trip to Chicago for the weekend to take a little class at Columbia College on Found Object Art.

What a great time we had! Met a bunch of great ladies as well as learned some new techniques.

We were amazed that we were able to crank out several projects in a span of 2 days when it takes us weeks to normally finish one!

Nectar

My favorite Knitta Gall has come out with a new spring line of knit patterns called Nectar! They all look so wonderful and much to complicated for a simple knitter like me. I am sure I could possibly figure it out but I need patterns that are mindless so I can knit and do other things as well.... maybe even drive.

This is my favorite pattern.

Does anyone else see a pattern in my choice of knit patterns lately?

Planting.

Today was another beautiful day to be outside and I took full advantage!

Got the grasses all planted.


Doesn't look like much now... hopefully someday it will add great impact to the front of my house.


p.s. it might not look like it but it was hard work.

Anticipation

It's getting a little to hard to contain! Chipotle is not opening soon enough!

This is my update from my camera phone from today.

Stools!

So many things are happening around here, not only am I getting things accomplished outside I am getting things done inside the house too. Friday UPS delivered my beloved bar stools I've been wanting for the last two years I've lived here.

So, anyone who wants is welcome to come over and sit at my island for "cooking with Leslie".

Phase 3: Part A

I spent the weekend working hard getting things done around here. You could say that phase three is almost accomplished thanks to my friends and family. I am extremely worn our and sore from all the work my body is not use to. Hopefully I sleep well tonight.

Here is Ryan and Micah helping me dig/pull up the sod.


Almost finished..... just need plants.
