Day 27 - From a Distance

Day 27 of the October Photo Challenge is from a distance.


This picture was taken a month or so ago (am I cheating?) at a food truck meet-up Hubs and went to hosted by the Food Network, featuring the Seabirds Truck. In all honesty I couldn’t find something interesting today to take from far away and I liked this photo because it shows how long the line for a vegan truck can get in Southern California…. a vegan truck given out free food paid for by the Food Network. Seriously though the Seabirds Truck is one of my favorite trucks, they make great food :)

Five for Friday

Previous Fridays

1 – When you flew back from Houston on Wednesday you stopped by my office and took me to lunch before you went home, even though you’d basically been awake since 1:30 am PST.

2 – You get colder at home than I do you try to trick me into turning on the heater.

3 – Our pumpkins :)
4 – You brag to your friends about me.

5 – Your robot dance moves aren’t jerky enough, but you’re working on it ;-)

Interior Design Bingo

With the October Photo Challenge coming to a close in a few days I decided to invent a challenge for November to help me jump start my interior design blogging skills, as a gear up to start my portfolio blog for school. With these 30 interior design ideas to keep in mind during the month of November, I hope it will inspire me in school and in other design projects.


Unlike the photo challenges, I’ve decided to lay this challenge out as more of a BINGO idea, because I know finding some of these things may be more difficult. You can find a few in one day or go an whole day without finding any. Just a picture to and post them on your blog. The goal is to find all 30 by November 30th.

I hope you’ll participate with me! Please comment below if you are so I can link to your blogs on November 1st.

---------------------
I thought I’d clarify a couple things since a couple of you have brought this up…
1 – Don’t worry, you’re not meant to find ALL these in your own home. It’s meant to help us become more aware of the designs in all the spaces we’re in – restaurants, shops, friend’s homes, offices etc.
2 – On Tuesday, the start of the challenge, I’ll define a few of these more “interior designy” terms. If you have something specific you’d like me to define, please tell me in the comments below :)
3 - It's not a competition, just a challenge, you have the whole month of November to get all 30. Just have fun.

Days 21-26

Yes, I skipped day 20… I may attempt it later ;-)

Day 21 of the October Photo Challenge is a faceless self portrait.

This past weekend my dad, sister and I went to San Francisco for the weekend to see Cal beat Utah at AT&T park. The football tickets were my sister and my birthday gift to my dad. Here I’m wearing the Cal shirt I purchased from Old Navy with a pair of WH/BM jeans.

Day 22 of the October Photo Challenge is hands.
I’m so proud of myself for starting my Christmas shopping early and snatching up these super cute, and very reasonably priced, oven-mitts for my besties.

Day 23 of the October Photo Challenge is a sunflare.


As part of our trip to SF for the football game, we left before the sun came out on Friday morning to drive up to Half Moon Bay in time for my dad to make his 12:50 tee time at the Ritz Carlton golf course. My sister and I wondered around downtown Half Moon Bay and drove up the coast for the afternoon before we met our dad back at Ritz for drinks at sunset. We sat outside and listened to the bagpipe as the sunset, which is where I caught this awesome sunflare on my sister’s phone.

Day 24 of the October Photo Challenge is an animal.


This is Chirpy Bird (aka Sir Chirps-a-lot or Chirps). I gave Chirpy Bird to Hubs on our first anniversary when he totaled his car and needed something to make his new car more his. Also because I wanted Quackers back, who he’d been borrowing in his rental car.

Day 25 of the October Photo Challenge is something pink.



Same trip to SF – the night after the football game (which was actually day 21) we went to this awesome BBQ place my dad had read about in Airways Magazine on his way back from Maryland a month or so ago. It wasn’t completely what we had expected, but it was well worth the effort it took to find parking. Seriously, if you’re in SF (or Venice or Hollywood) GO GET BBQ at Baby Blues BBQ!

Day 26 of the October Photo Challenge is close-up.

These corks made up a bar top (with glass over them, obvs) at a crepe restaurant in Del Mar, CA. I want to make a table out of wine corks now… I best start drinking more wine ;-)

Five for Friday

Previous Fridays

1 - We're buying our first house!!!

2 - You try not to brag about all the cool food you get to eat while traveling for work, even though I tell you I want to hear about all the cool stuff.

3 - You change your shoes when you want to be more casual... not your whole outfit.

4 - You stayed awake late with me on Saturday night when I was too scared to fall asleep from watching American Horror Story.

5 - You stay up late when you're on the East Coast to talk to me when I get out of class.
