it officially feels like fall here in minneapolis.
daphne has been wearing her dog-hoodie at night & i have been wearing my mittens while biking to work in the mornings.
we bought a car this week. and traded in my old one. i will say that i cried like a baby to leave my car behind. my car & i have been together for almost 10 years. through breakups, funerals, cross-country moves & other life happenings. we are so excited to have a new, safer [and responsible!] vehicle ; but leaving my car was like saying goodbye to a sorely missed friend.
how about some rad links to kick off your weekend?!
*dog lover? i recently found this 'dog-blog' & its amazing. beautiful photos, awesome stories & fun dog-projects. the posts are written from the view of the dog & they are so fun. the dogs are mostly rescue pit bulls ; which i love. [did you know that daphne is part pit bull?!]
