Missing

Last night I arrived home to find my bike STOLEN. I was sick about it. Sure, maybe my bike wasn't locked up, but... I trust people. OK, maybe Draper, Utah isn't as honest as Rexburg, Idaho but Come ON??!!! WHY??? I loved that bike. Seriously loved it. My brother in law hooked me up with the Trekky about 3 summers ago and it has been riden and cared for ever since. Is it too much to wish that the bike is returned with a kind note saying there was a mistake? I mean, I don't have the kind of money to replace a bike right now. And for heavens sake I don't want to replace my Trek.

She will be missed.

Did I tell you?

That I had a great Halloween!

Here are a few favorites from the night. Out with the girls!Perfect Fall Night!

House Parties in SLC!

Music Monday 10

It's BaAck! Music Monday is making a comeback. Enjoy.

Fleet Foxes are a Seattle based band (woop woop) who have caught my ear since earlier this summer. I can't resist their artwork on their album covers. So cool. Check out their song "Blue Ridge Mountians." I also adore their "White Winter Hymnal."



Phosphorescent is a one-man band I saw in L.A. when he opened for Bon Iver. I really liked Matthew Houck's mix of Iron & Wine/Bon Iver/Neil Young esque tone. Check out Phosphorescent's song "Wolves." You'll be glad you did!

Girl, Lets Talk

I found out a month ago that Girl Talk was coming to the Great Salt Lake and I've been daydreaming about going since. Well, the day finally came. At around 8:30 that night Teen and I decided to just Do it, hopped in the car and made it right when he started his set. It was the coolest show. He played at The Venue and the place was packed. The stage was exploding with people. See that guy in the black shirt with frosted hair? Ya, he had to hold the speakers and table down.

Probably the craziest dance mixing ever everrr.

We were sweaty wetty.

At the show we met up with some California friends and did a little after party dancing.

Halloween Feast

My sister invited us over to their Halloween Mystery Dinner. It has become a tradition with my sisters to have this dinner with their kids each Halloween. I love the idea and I was so excited to be a part of it this year. My sister had a menu with spooky names and we all took a turn ordering. The favorites were Scarecrow Breath, Bat Blood, and Witch Claws. Thanks Annie. You are the best.

Never met a nicer cookie...

My sister said I had to try this recipe and once glancing at the picture I knew it was my kind of cookie. But get this....No Flour!!! No Eggs!!!! No Sugar!!!! I KNOW!!! They were so so yummy. My sister suggested freezing them and they are a perfect treat for anytime of the day. {err...like running out the door in the morning!}

Roady

Teen and I went on a Roady to Boise, Idaho to visit gal pal Livi. We had a blast and it was perfect PERFECT fall weather for our long weekend. Livi was quite the host to show us around Boise. Such a neat city. We did LOTS of thrifting (to post about later!!!), saw Secret Life of Bees (if you haven't read the book, you MUST...it's a good one), ate lots of yummy food, hit up a Bead store (I'm so excited to start creating), went to a sweet candy store in downtown Boise, relaxed at her cute house, visited with her wonderful family, and went to dinner with some besties. Now we're back and I am thrilled at this perfect sunny Sunday.
