bowling.

You can't beat the old-school lanes with balls the size of my fist. It's much easier for me to score well.

happy birthday

to me!

why must this cost so ridonkalonk?

Glasses.

I'm getting a new pair of specs. Any preferences?




Owen or Preston: discuss!

why, hello.

Jeezum CROW where have I been all my life? I'm quite busy actually. I'm writing a book, writing my blog, working a full-time job, trying to get ahead of it all to go on vacation AND it's my birthday on Saturday. Phew.

24 hours.

obligatory photo.

maine is just so damn pretty.

nathaniel rateliff.

my love for this musician is deep. deep and real. what a song.

football sunday.

Lobsterman and I have gotten way into watching the 49ers play every Sunday. Or rather, I've gotten into it - since he has always been a fan. Now that my sister is a San Fran resident, I feel an even stronger inclination towards the city.

Rather than eat wings and greasy crap on Sundays during the game, we make things like crabcakes.




Freshly picked of course.

mistletoe hung where you can see.

I am absurdly excited about the upcoming holidays. probably because i am so excited to decorate my apartment. i just ordered felt mistletoe. i have issues.

heyoooo

New stuff in the shop! Check it out!

i'd say this is right.

venue.

i was lucky enough to attend a very magical wedding over the long weekend. the couple was married under this gorgeous apple tree.



as far as wedding venues go, this is hard to beat.

sunset.

on sunday night we had a final farewell to the summer by cooking out on my "in-laws" farm. the sky was magical. i'm so lucky i get to see sunsets like this so often.

apples and pocket holes.

I was going to write a post about apple picking but instead I am going to talk about Lobsterman's penchant for losing things.

He has lost his wallet, license, car keys and a variety of other items of importance about a million times since I've met him. This is not an exaggeration. He's lost items everywhere from a movie theater to the White Mountains. I know this because somehow someone always finds his lost item and mails it back to us. So odd.

So when I looked at this picture closely, I noticed something....sticking out of his back pocket. {click on the photo to enlarge} Our apartment key!



I am pretty sure we lost this key on that day. It's obvious to me that the man needs to stop wearing jeans with holes and then perhaps our problems will be solved.

The end.

problems.

I can't stop eating pumpkin pastries. It's a problem. I devoured this tray of pumpkin muffins BY MYSELF after deeming them too "burned" to bring to a work function.



A few days later I made a pumpkin loaf. It's pretty much gone. It's a little too soon for me to be gaining holiday weight.

oh hey october.

can you believe october is tomorrow? apparently my street can because it's already covered in leaves.




happy fall to you!

building a lobster trap.

so here's how it goes down.






you get some cagey pieces. you snap them together with metal fasteners. you leave some holes so the lobsters can get in. you put up some meshy things so they can fall in but not get out. you hang bags full of bait.

ta-da! you learned something new today!

woody allen.

i love this movie. have you seen it?



a must see if you're a woody allen fan like me.
