what a day to be alive!

So I didn’t do many of the things on my to do list today. But I did do the most important thing:

Spend some serious quality time with BF.

I got out of bed at 5am to go to my yoga class. I put my contacts in, put my yoga clothes on and got in my car. And then I realized. I will be leaving in a week and a half. Why am I going to yoga instead of spending some serious snuggle time in bed with the man of my dreams?!? I promptly got out of my car, took my contacts back out, changed back into my PJs and jumped back into bed with BF. Later when we woke up, BF told me he just knew I wasn’t going to yoga. 🙂 I really love him.

So we went to get cupcakes, we split a sandwich, we drove up to the art museum in Cleveland, went for a stroll through Coventry (an artsy neighborhood in Cleveland), ate a grilled cheese sandwich, split some Peach-Mango Gelato, browsed through Crate and Barrel, and stopped by Trader Joes. After all the running around today it was nice to come home and snuggle up on the couch to watch a movie.

Hope everyone else had a wonderful day!

anxiety overload!

Hope everyone had a great weekend. Mine was very very busy. I worked Saturday in a desperate effort to make some more cash before my big move! Speaking of my big move, I’m having some serious anxieties about the whole thing. Causing almost daily anxiety attacks. Which means I’m unable to sleep well… or eat well for that matter. I need to relax.

Which leads me to this:
What do you like to do to relax?
I would love to hear your suggestions!

This will be a short post tonight. I’m sleepy. I kicked my own butt at the gym this morning and didn’t sleep well last night. Here is a picture from a party I went to and A&Bs house:

the best sandwich in the world

As I posted on Thursday, BF and I decided to take a day trip to Pittsburgh to go to Primanti Brothers. We saw it on the show Man Versus Food and I had it stuck in my head that we would go there sometime. So away we went! Yes, I know… sounds silly that we went to Pittsburgh just for sandwiches, but it’s only a two-hour drive and it was a fun little road trip!

It turns out the people of Pittsburgh are not that friendly. In fact they were downright rude! I know we were not at Primanti Brothers for their service, but se

riously… you can ask me what I’d like to eat a nicer way than “What do you want” while wearing a very classy uniform (sweatpants and a tank top). CLASSY for sure!

We took a ride on the Incline so we could see the whole city. It was really pretty (and I was a little scared... you know… the whole heights thing). We also stopped at Ikea! Neither of us had ever been to an Ikea store before (even though we have some of their products) and the only thing I have to say is — OVERWHELMING! Wow. I didn’t realize how overwhelming it would be to shop. So I bought

nothing (or near nothing anyways). But I definitely want to go back sometime when I’m more prepared for the awesomeness that is shopping at Ikea.

All in all it was a successful trip to Pittsburgh! Our mini-road trip was lovely and I hope that many more are to come!

I have so much more to tell you about Pittsburgh, but I just do not have the time or energy right now! Promise that (along with the secret) I will post more about the weird (and furry) things about Pittsburgh soon!

So there’s a lot going on in my mind right now, but I’m not going to really talk about any of them at the moment. Instead, I’m going to post some photographs that I found on Etsy and google of some places that I miss!
