I started “running” and spinning again this week. I’ll be honest, podcasts are not necessarily the best thing to listen to while sweating buckets on a spin bike, but I gotta multi-task people! It’s time to break out that little shuffle!
“Summer Music Preview: Premieres from Cat Power, Avett Brothers, The Antlers, and More”

I love discussions and examinations of generations. This is a great–listened in the car and there was lots of looking at the radio and saying “YES!”
“Marcus Samuelsson: On Becoming a Top Chef”
Fresh Air – June 28, 2012
Love this guy, but also just love anytime one of the superstar chefs is interviewed. When is Top Chef coming back!?!?

Happy Friday everyone. I had another great week. Graduated from yoga teacher training on Wednesday! It was definitely bittersweet. I’ll miss these ladies so very much. I can’t believe it! It flew by, but also seems like forever ago that I was writing this post.
Going to try and stay out of the heat today. Making a salad for July 4th party tomorrow, yoga, spin a little, and THEN I’m going to see THIS:
SO EXCITED! I wish my girl Tate was here to see it with me. Today is her birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TATE! Hopefully see you soon in a couple weeks!
Us back in our younger years:
Ahhh….I loved that back deck:
Other stuff on the agenda? Hopefully finishing up season 2 of this and listening to this song on repeat.

Garden Jewelry at the Artisan Center

What a fabulous weekend…starting with my Mom’s art opening at The Artisan Center on Thursday.
She nailed it with her artist’s statement:
Lots of fun was had…then a wonderful meal with all the out-of-towners at The Green Door on Friday. Saturday morning and afternoon was filled with a wonderful yoga workshop–the culminating project for my teacher training! I will miss the ladies at Orbis very much, but I know I will see them often. Can’t wait to graduate Wednesday!
Saturday evening was full of dancing and merriment.
Sunday was full of porch sittin’ and yoga photo sessions:

Yo everybody! I got a new job! I’m so excited! Great hours that will allow me to teach plenty of yoga, but also a job doing work that I’m really excited/passionate about! YAY.
Also doing some freelance social media work—boom.
Will be back later with Listen to This…but then you might not see a new post from me until after the weekend. Lots of family from out of town coming in today for my Mom’s art exhibit and a massive 30th birthday for brother/sister-in-law. So excited! Lots of fun stuff in store…will have lots of photos to share next week.
Halfway there…

Looks like I’m doing pretty well!

I can definitely check this off–I graduate next Wednesday!
2. Be a better baker
Yeah…this is definitely still a work in progress…Especially since I stopped buying a few things…
3. Read 30 books
I’m right on track with this one. I just looked at my list of books read so far this year…13 with two in progress! Here’s what I’ve read so far:
4. Keep bloggingYay!
5. Try to be more patient in daily life.
Doubt I’ll ever be able to cross this one off the list…
