[Some of the best scallops I've ever had, on Tuesday night at Blue Apron.]

Watching Game of Thrones. Holy crap you guys! Who is watching it? I have always loved her, but Daenerys was so damn cool last week. I'm kind of obsessed with her. I also have a huge, nearly out-of-control crush on Tyrion Lannister.

Thinking about some really exciting things coming up in the next few weeks. My brother is graduating, I'm finishing up a personal project that I can't wait to share with you guys, and Rob will be in town for a couple of long weekends at the end of May.

Listening to Taylor Swift's Fearless. I know it doesn't make any sense because I actually can't stand her, but I listened to that album the spring of my junior year of college and ever since then, I haven't been able to escape it. I play it in the mornings with the windows down and it reminds me of those days.

Reading books about design, for work. They're really interesting and helpful, but I haven't been reading that much lately and it makes me sad. The other day I flipped through Where the Wild Things Are. I think once I get David Sedaris' new book I'll be back in the swing of things again.

Loving spring. It has already been a long week, but spring is here in full force and it is making me so happy. There's something about this season that just instills a new will to be cheerful and active and thankful for life. Autumn is my favorite season until spring rolls around. I think it's okay to have two favorite times of the year.

Drinking cold-brewed iced coffee. My favorite. We make it at night and I pour some with ice and sometimes coconut milk into a jar (I'm still loving my Cuppow) and take it to work with me.

Eating berries! I went through an entire little box of raspberries in one sitting the other day. And I'm really into strawberries this year.

Missing Rob. We do get to see each other a lot considering the distance between us, but the three weeks between visits thing is kind of rough. Every other week seems doable, but as soon as we have to say, "Okay, see you next month," it kind of sucks.

Looking forward to this weekend. I'm helping to set up a bridal shower next door, and then hosting a going-away cookout for my sweet friend Lauren. I'm looking forward to good food, good company, and a pretty serious morning of sleeping in on Sunday!

What are you up to currently?
As always, thanks to my sweet blog-friend Dani for inspiring these posts.

The Weekend | To Minneapolis
Minneapolis is quickly becoming one of my favorite places. Rob living there has a lot to do with it, sure, but the place is just cool. As I sat in the airport waiting for the last leg of my travels, I had a thought that I've never had before:

I'm so glad he took this job, because otherwise we would have missed out.

Remember that bright side I was talking about a couple of weeks ago? I've jumped on it with both feet.


I whipped out my camera on our walk to brunch at Edina Grill on Saturday to find that my battery had died and I hadn't packed the charger. After a Bloody Mary (mine) and a mimosa (his) paired with a delicious meal of English muffin-less Eggs Benedict (mine) and a ham and cheese egg scramble (his), we headed to the Mall of America, where I got a new charger, but I still didn't take enough photos after I got my camera fired up.

Here are the highlights:
+ Best dinner ever happened at Chino Latino
(Get a Cucumber Cooler and please don't leave without having the spare ribs.)
+ Had an okay latte (Rob got a mocha) at Peace Coffee, but the shop itself and neighborhood are quaint and cozy and I'd go back again.
+ Walked by Moon Palace Books after coffee but didn't go in because of a sign that said "Puppet Show in Progress." This is Minneapolis, and it's awesome and hilarious at every turn.
+Took lots of naps, watched lots of our shows, slept in on Sunday.

How was your weekend?
