I saw Washington's Pacific coast for the first time this weekend.
(I know, we need to get out more.)
It was a gray, drizzly day but we decided to make the 2.5 hour drive to the coast anyway.
There's not much point in putting things off until a 'nice day' out here.
There weren't many people at
Ocean City State Park, but that only made the stark landscape more breathtaking.
The slowly approaching surf left the most interesting patterns in the sand.
Self portrait.
You could hardly tell where the sky ended and the ocean began.
Everything was the same lovely shade of gray.

Pssssssssst! - Last week was the technology week from hell! I think we had internet access for like, two days. I'm catching up now that the comcast gods are playing nice. Thanks for being patient with me! <3

... the world would sure look different.
Paper cranes would take flight...
"vintage 1920s Sidewalks of London Shoes (20s) size 6 36.5" by 13bees
...there'd be much more dancing...
... and rainbows for everyone (even double ones, omg)...
"Vintage Brass Unicorn Music Box" by inmyigloo
...maybe even a creepy music playing unicorn or two...
...and 'darkness' would be confined to the color wheel.

Happy Thursday!
Is anyone else excited this week is almost over?
Yesterday the sun made an unusual winter-time appearance.
( As you can see, I pretty much caught the tail end. )
In other fantastic news, the rare and wonderful
Vagabond Carnival honored me with two lovely blog awards!
If you're not already a follower, this is one of the funniest blogs I'm reading. M's writing style is witty, and judging by her list of 7 interesting
facts, she's got a wealth of amazing experiences to share.
How sweet is that?
So, here's some utterly random facts:
- I have never ridden a horse.
- Even though I seriously dis-enjoy flying, I think a hot air balloon ride would be awesome.
- I am considering opening a vintage Etsy shop.
- I find it very hard to see a carousel and not want to ride it.
- Celery is the most disgusting vegetable of all time.
- Just realized the shirt I'm wearing today almost perfectly matches the outside of the buidling I work in. That's weird and sad.
- Lately, I absolutely have to eat 2 breakfasts. (Maybe the second is really 'elevensies' and I'm turning into a hobbit...?)
( More than you ever wished to know, I'm sure. )
And now, I'm passing these onto...
...all my beautiful blog followers!
Post some fun facts in the comments (or on your blog). You know I love reading them!

Some odd little things I totally love.
"small coin purse-green fur" by thezakka
It's like a baby muppet! I'd totally rock this bad boy as a clutch.
The color and texture are so fun and unexpected.
"Matryoshka doll shadowbox" by psyboom
How cute is this? I'm blown away by the seriously creative stuff you can find on Etsy.
(Plus, I have a friend I think would LOVE this...)
"Fuschia Triple Stack Flower Cocktail RingFrom knockknockstudio" by knockknockstudio
This is my 'kooky ring of the week.'
Colorful, playful, weird -- definitely a statement piece.
I know these have gotten a lot of Etsy exposure, but seriously,
how CUTE and WEIRD are these little guys?
"Heart Shaped Box of Chocolates Plush with faces" by mypapercrane
My hubbers will disagree with this, but I think these are the best kinds of chocolates to get for a Valentine: plush, smiley, and will never melt in your hand.
{ what are you craving this week? }
Psssssst! - I hope you'll bear with me this week. I'm slow on the catch up. Things they are a-changning for my daytime hours. Now I just need to adapt. Sigh. But I WILL CATCH UP, even if it kills me. : P

There were crazy amounts of airplanes.
Ever shape, size, make, and model you can imagine.
OH HAI. WE'RE IN SPACE.
Or a model of the international space station. Still pretty cool.
Flight simulator humor.
Probably my favorite part was the model flight tower, which overlooks an actual runway at Boeing Field. We watched a Lear Jet land, and bunches of helicopters take off.
This is a live depicition of actual flights in the air across the U.S.
What are the odds I'd run across a WWII era airplane with the name of the small town I was born in?
So cool!
If you end up in the Seattle area, I highly recommend a visit. You don't even have to be an aviation geek to enjoy yourself, cause I sure am not. I hate flying.
