Silly Things That Keep me Warm and Cozy...

It snowed big fluffy white flakes today. Is spring ever going to come? This scarf is ridiculously big and cozy. I carry it around like my son carries his favorite toy of the day.


This habit I need to kick fast. Why do I crave chocolate so much?

Oooh my sweet succulents. Not much is alive outside in the garden now, but inside my succulents are happy. They are plump and all shades of green.

Pix Patisserie Portland

I headed to Pix last night with a friend and drooled over their chocolates and treats. Wow! They had these huge 14" Easter Eggs made with 75% Tanzanie origin chocolate. Yeah, I could say I can devour one by myself (I shouldn't share the severity of my addictions). I enjoyed a coffee and spirits concoction with a side of chocolate cake (it was little). A visit during the day with tea and anything chocolate sounds lovely too. Now - I must find a way to justify buying a 14" Chocolate Egg to Yed... He might just send me to rehab.

Enjoy your Easter Weekend!

Addiction#16: Tea

This addiction snuck up on me and I may need a 12 step program fast! Maybe it was when my friend Leah suggested I visit the Chinese Gardens? Or when Maggie enabled my addiction by buying me a gorgeous teacup and saucer set at an antique store on the OR coast ( I owe you for that Featherz)? It could be that I never played "Tea Time" as a child and I'm making up for lost time. Anyway, I'm still addicted to cappuccinos, but the variety of flavors a cup of tea delivers is wonderful! The cups are so delicate and feminine too. I can't be monogamous to my caps anymore... Jasmine is my flavor of the week.
