humpday happy list.
because we need a little happy in our month, especially right now. in addition to everything else, as a really good start to my workweek today, i made it halfway through my bus ride to work before realizing that i left my laptop at home. my superhero husband picked me up on the side of the road with it and drove me to work. so i owe him huge, because it was COLD this morning! love you my dearest...i'm clearly craving colorful and fresh and fruity things right now. i mean, look at those photos. someone is clearly going through withdrawals from the best things in life. i was talking to a friend who came to my grandma's wake, and we both realized that we've been buying really bright flowers for our apartments in the past couple weeks, which we don't normally do, just because it's been so miserable here and we need all the color we can get.

1) humpday want: gap camo pants.i can't explain to you all how much i wanted these pants. they were in my shopping cart in the morning. i was ready to purchase them that same evening. and i got home and they were SOLD OUT. and they just went away completely. i've even tweeted at gap to beg them to bring back these gorgeous things, and i don't think i have enough pull to make them happen. any other huge bloggers out there want to give it a try?2) humpday want #2: striped maxi.hi, my name is erin and i have a maxi skirt problem. i can't help it! they just make me look really long and slender and at 5'3" i will take that wherever i can. and these look so comfortable, like you would be walking around looking all cute but feeling like you're in your pjs. and stripes!3) humpday craving: bruschetta.my mother-in-law made some amazing bruschetta the other day, and it tasted like summer. something about tomatoes and olive oil, you know? this recipe is from the pioneer woman, and she can do no wrong in my world. if i ever meet her, i will lose my ability to speak.4) humpday cocktail: this sangria.first of all, if you ever want a delicious, albeit time-consuming cocktail recipe, you need to visit "how sweet eats". she is hysterical for one, and amazing at creating awesome recipes for two. i would venture to say that she is my most pinned blogger that i read. anywho, this pomegranate-vanilla sangria looks so mouth-watering. smooth and fruity at the same time.5) humpday flowers: ranunculus.i had ranunculus for our wedding flowers, in the bouquets and the boutinierres. i love the way they look beautiful from right when they start blooming up until they open up all the way. these particular ranunculus are from my lovely cousin who came over to watch pitch perfect with me on the day my grandma died.

6) humpday zen practice: not caring about the snow.i am being very calm and accepting about this snow. because it will melt. and it will no longer be here. maybe even by next week. deep breath in, deep breath out. all on a count of 10. whoosh.7) humpday flowers #2: tulips. (can you tell i need some color in my life?)i mean, tulips look you in the eye and scream "SPRING!" at you at the top of their lungs. and isn't that really the theme of this entire thing? how could i not include some tulips?8) humpday travel plans: pittsburgh.to visit my darling dove in her adopted stomping grounds. i've been to pittsburgh twice now, and love it so much more than you could imagine. maybe it's because she lives there now, and i like it better because she's made it her home, but i really do think it's a lovely place! each neighborhood has its own personality, and there are so many gems scattered all throughout. so excited to visit again!9) humpday DIY: gold-leaf terracotta pots.let me be clear, i have not done this yet. because i don't have a patio or a garden, or even a deck. but these would be so cool sitting on the front steps of a little house in the city, wouldn't they?10) humpday craving #2: peanut butter bacon pancakes.i've already informed Mister Man that he needs to put these on the list of pancakes he will make me next. he is the pancake guru of the 'z' household and aren't these just made for a sunny (or snowy) saturday morning, paired with a steaming cup of coffee? joy the baker, your recipes make me so happy. so so happy. will you be my friend?
