date night

For date night a couple of weeks ago, Charlie surprised me and took me to Spiral Diner in Oak Cliff. It's a completely vegan diner, and holy cow (get it?) it was freaking delicious! Charlie had a "meatball" sandwich and said it was the best meatball sandwich he's ever had (seriously, this guy would eat a slab of meat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner if I let him) and I had a veggie burger with a side of pasta salad. We also took home a vegan cookie and brownie for dessert. Good thing this place isn't closer to us, because I'd never cook again.
love that skyline.

lovely bar carts

Awhile ago I mentioned adding a bar cart to our dining room. Well today one of the blogs I read introduced me to Society Social. This website is like my dream come true! Affordable, fun, and colorful bar carts!
How can you decide between these lovelies??

And, a couch that I like and can afford!
I love that you can choose from a ton a funky colors for your main fabric and the accent welt along the back.
I wish I had a reason for a rug!

yay!

Things that make me say "yay!" today:

1) I get to pick up Charlie in a few hours! He was supposed to fly home yesterday, but his flight got cancelled due to maintenance issues. I was a little bummed to spend another night alone, but I'm super happy that I get to see him today.
2) I booked my flight to SF. I get to go for two weeks!
3) I have a super fun bachlorette party to go to this weekend, and I'm throwing a couples "fiesta" themed shower the weekend after that, AND my friend Mal is flying into town today! Yay for seeing a lot of my friends over the next couple weeks. Everyone is so spread out across the country that it usually makes it difficult to see everyone.
4) I've already sold a lot of my wedding stuff and it's only been one day! 
5) Is it too early to decorate my house for fall? I didn't think so.
