In the new

What made me happy today:

1. Receiving cute new merchandise at the store that I want, but have no use for...yet! I'll have to use these new biodegradable stripey straws by jack and lulu at the next party I throw! (they just debuted the straws at the stationary show in New York, so they aren't on their website, but the lush, colorful stationary on the site will grab your eye!)

2. Continuing the habit of tracking my exercise and food consumption in my new healthy looking Lotta Jansdotter journal. Writing in a nice journal actually motivates me to keep up with everything, therefore trying to eat healthier and exercise more just for the sake that I have to write it down at the end of the day.

3. Riding my new bike with Jonathan. Tonight we biked to a vocal sectional for our soul band. He's helping me overcome my fears of biking on the road, and I love him for it....(even though it may not seem like it at the time) Thanks honey!

This is the only picture I have of my cute bike so far... I'll have to get one of me in action soon!

And it really needs a basket to complete the look!

4. And last but certainly not least, coming home from a sweaty bike ride and cooling off in our bedroom: the only air conditioned room in the apartment.
