oh hi ohio!
My story from NYC to Columbus Ohio. This is just to let you all know how and what I am doing, it may not be written well, it may not be funny but its what I am doing....and saves me telling the same story over again! ohhiohio@gmail.com
Our house is black and white. The front door is black. Every time I flip through the HGTV magazine (the only magazine I actually make the time to read) I am drawn to photos of houses with colored front doors. Look at this lime green one? It looks so cool. The owners of this house have a family tradition to repaint the front door in a new color every year. Such a brilliant idea. I’m not sure I will ever pull the trigger on our house though.
I love this idea, I didn’t win the battle for a pink front door the first time round but the war isn’t over
Robin McKinley, <i>Pegasus</i>
I realized I hadn’t read everything Robin McKinley has written. I’m working on changing that.
(via mar-see-ah)So for some reason the idea of a saturday night bowling took hold tonight, maybe it was the grey skies or the two a day work out but we needed an activity with tonight’s beer. We didn’t get many recruits but not going to lie it was fun
Derby Day!
Another American tradition I am now all over.
We got a little fancy dressed
Pre gamed with some margarita’s ( it was cinco de mayo weekend too)
Discovered a love for mint juleps
Made some cash money
Vowed to actually go to Kentucky next year
Ice Cream Sandwich Perfection
This changes things
This is fucking brilliant.
This is all I can think about
So this was going to be a story about how for the the last two days I was at this seminar downtown and basically got to ride my bike to “work” and it was supper fun and i felt like one of those super cool people and for at least a day I imagined what it would have been like had I actually made a bit more effort whilst living in NYC and got on this bike train earlier
Then on the way into “work” on day 2 a goose flew into my head/shoulder/face and we quickly for over it
Another good weekend is coming to a close. I am trying to come up with the balance with work and play. There still seems to be so much to do to the house and there is always something wedding related that needs to be done and there are legit deadlines to follow now (145 days!).
So we came up with play day and work day for each weekend, genius I know!
Friday we had some friends over and I made my first ever pizza dough not going to lie was pretty impressed with myself SB not so much “aren’t pizza’s round” no SB not all pizza’s
Saturday was my fav, we took the bikes out for a long morning ride up to a farmers market and whilst it still early for all the veggies it was good to see and even better we have started to improve my riding speed. After a quick change we were back on the bikes and basically did a bike ride bar hop we headed to Surly Girl for brunch, the pint house a new beer hall type place that’s opned on High St it’s my new fav place however with only 3 girls bathrooms this place is going to be a shit show at the weekend I suspect.
We then biked downtown stopping every now and then for a cocktail until we hit Columbus Commons where there were all these Earth Day things were going on so we hung out for a while in the sunshine. We then headed back up High St hit The Pearl for oysters before there are no more r’s in the month (well that was my excuse!) and finished the night with a couple of ciders and some rounds of pool. Long story short we had a really fun Saturday.
Sunday was work day which was boring, I still haven’t got bridesmaid dresses or invitations but I did get the best news/ invite to be the bridesmaid for the best blonde version of me with whom we secretly spent a lot of our 20’s imagining what our weddings would be like. It made my day although I ruined the asking as I was super scared she may not have wanted me but Fiona it is going to be such a privilege to stand with you on your wedding day. I hope I can try and do a good job of helping even 3000 miles away.
Happy Sunday kids
