FRIDAY NIGHT -- I relaxed and caught up on The Bachelorette episodes i missed. Still have to watch the finale, but i know Roberto was the one Ali choose! Very happy for them.

SATURDAY -- Woke up at 8 and biked down the the farmer's market downtown with my parents.  Favorite thing to do Saturday morning!

My breakfeast at the farmer's market usually consists of 

1. large blueberry & bananna smoothie,

2.  1 or 2 or 3 sugared buttermilk homemade doughnouts,

3.  samples of pasta in different pestos,

4. Colorodo smoked beef jerkey

Its quite delicious. We also bought some gorgeous gladiolas.

The next two pictures are from the market.

Going to the farmer's market downtown on the square around the capitol is always a weekend highlight. Wherever I end up living, they had better have an awsome farmer's market.

So after my farmer's market trip, I went over to babysit for two hyped up little girls. They're bilingual, their dad grew up in Austria so he speaks fluent German, and their mom is fluent as well, so their youngest (she's in pre-school) has trouble with pronunciation. Its  a mix of enlish and german. SUPER hard to understand her. She pronounces "sister" like "kiter". They're both very sweet though.

AND they had just gotten an 8 month golden retriever puppy!!!! It was so freaking cute!!!! I'm normaly a kitty kind of girl, but this puppy just won me over.

SUNDAY -- hello church.

After, we went out to brunch with a group of my parents friends from church at a delicious, swanky new restaurant. I had smoked salmon eggs benedict. It was scrumpcious. They also had homemade sweet potato fries (super good) as well as regular potoato ones.

After that I went out with my friend and we headed downtown -- its an ithmus squished between two lakes and that's where the capitol is. We went down a street popular for all of its quirky stores, clothing stores, and boutiques. My friend needed new jeans from Urban Outfitters, so we went there and while i didnt get any clothes (i had gotten some from there not so long ago), i fell in love with some of the notebooks they had there.  They had tons of sweet notebooks, but here are the two that i got.

I had been wanting to get some notebooks to keep track of my life, because i waste so much paper just making lists and keeping track of things. So these are perfect! I plan to use the strawberry one to keep track of my life with lists, doodles, notes to self, quotes, etc, and the "par avion" ("by airplane" in french) for a fashion notebook. Super excited to start them !!!

After that we sat by one of the lakes and talked about life, got ice cream, and watched the sailboats and windsurfers. It was really nice. Then, we went back to her appartment, hung out and swam in her appartment's pool at night.

So that was my busy, and super fun weekend! Hope you all dont mind reading about my weekend ;P  

hope yours was just as fantastic as mine!

right now -- dont mess with my coffee ice cream. Or my ecclectic music mix from wiz khalifa's "head to the sky" to lykke li's "until we bleed".  Okay, i now actaully have to go practice for my viola lesson later today! Tootaloooo!

oh, the title of this post is entirerly random. i didnt really want to title this post "my weekend" that would be boring.
