Tried out the new VSCO Cam while in Kentucky this week and I'm in lust. I loved the other VSCO app but the greens in this one are simply amazing. It makes me actually want to take pictures again.

Things and Sorts
Just a few things I have caught up in as of late.
-Still cannot stop listening to this mashup of No Diggity and Thrift Shop.
-Not so mildly freaking out about the Basilica Block Party line-up for Night One.
-Switched to Feedly due to the impending demise of Google Reader. RIP Reader.
-The hunt continues for the perfect quiche recipe.
-And now I am strategizing how to spend every second of this weekend outdoors. Seriously.

Three Years.
London, United Kingdom
Paris, France
Amsterdam, Netherlands
The boy and I are celebrating three years together today. For our one year anniversary we apparently set the bar extremely high. I remember we were sitting around discussing what was the one thing we wanted to do before the big End of the World fiasco... you know... just in case it really happened. And I mentioned that I would really be bummed if I was never able to visit Europe. Well by the next day he had bought tickets for our trip across the pond to celebrate our anniversary.
We wanted to keep it a simple introduction to Western Europe and in April we visited London, Paris, and Amsterdam. I think every day since the trip has been comprised of me scheming to find a way back. Can we get another End of the World crazy face to start preaching again?
Although we will not be doing anything as grand as our first year celebration, it will still be just as special and important. Less jet lag and foreign languages, probably more wine and cheese.

minn: STILL
After a long winter, we can all get a little carried away with just wanting the weather to be bright and cheery. While perusing Mary Jo Hoffman's blog STILL the other day, I remembered that the beginning of spring is actually an intensely beautiful part of the year. Instead of disregarding our ventures outside as only consisting of brown grass and mud, STILL reminded me that it is about renewal and is necessary for those bright, cheery days to cultivate. I highly recommend devouring every last picture on the local Minnesotan's blog and then taking a walk outside. You may start noticing a few treasures of your own.

SURVIVING A MINNESOTA WINTER
The weather and I are in a fight. I've been bad talking this Minnesotan weather for awhile now and it finally decided to fight back. The first step I took outside my front door on Monday landed me on the snow and ice covered ground resulting in bruises and a lovely goose egg.
So I need to stop complaining and just tough it out. Hey, supposedlyyy there are only 13 more days of winter. But I feel like my calendar must be lying to me.
So for the next 2 weeks I will be hibernating with a few essentials to surviving this winter. These include:
-A fresh, clean candle to clear out the winter doldrums.
-Cozying up with my stories.
-Dry shampooing to avoid static and to cover up the fact that I won't be leaving my bed for 2 weeks.
-Wools socks, I freaking love wool socks! I steal them from my family and boyfran.
-Plaid scarf to live in.
-Aquaphor, God's gift to mankind. I literally would not survive winter without it on my lips and cuticles.
-Flannel sheets, because I can control the world from my bed and it should be soft and snuggly.
-And a nice glass of something warm. Or just wine in a mug.

NEW JOB, OLD BUSINESS
And so ends the first official week of my new job. Including a little jaunt to Minnesota Public Radio for our rockstar subject matter expert to talk about the horse meat scandal. I love these crazy little opportunities.

Photoshop Workshop: Blogshop
I use Adobe Creative Suite 6 pretty much every day but usually avoid Photoshop like the plague. As in, I don't get you and you might make me cry so I shall name you Plagueshop. So I was a tiny bit excited to attend Angela and Bri's photoshop workshop, Blogshop, that visited Minneapolis this past weekend.
Blown. Away. I think my workflow has just been cut in half by all the tips and tricks I learned. And now I only have tears of happiness.
