The weekend!
Here are a couple of pictures of what Winston and I did last weekend.
On Saturday we went to a farmer's market in Des Moines by the end of the morning Winston was pooped! He gets a little over excited with all of the people, but even more excited with all of the other dogs to play with!
At the market I got some fresh rhubarb and made a small crisp. It was not a success, I put WAY to much tapioca in with the fruit. Put the crisp part was GREAT!

I also picked up one Basil and one Cilantro plant to use over the summer and got these cute little "self watering" pots to put them in when I went to Wal-Mart. They're really not self watering, because you have to remember to fill the bottom with water, it's a little weird, but a lot cute!
I got a this desk and chair to put in my new apartment, I got them at a little shop in town.
They both have a distressed look, which is fine, but I might strip them and repaint them over the summer, we'll see.
Other than being on duty it was a great Spring/Summer weekend,
I am looking forward to many more of them!

Almost an obsession.
This story may be a good one, it may be a bad one, so read and find out.
There is something you should know about me, I absolutely, positively LOVE the television show "How I Met Your Mother" or HIMYM. The main character is Ted, and the plot of the show is Ted telling his children the story of how he met their mother, the title kind of explains it all huh? It really is a great premise, you never know when he is going to meet their mother, of if the next woman will REALLY be her (he has yet to meet her, but I am hopeful for next season).
Another one of the characters, Robin Scherbatsky (aka Robin Sparkles or Aunt Robin) is from Canada and in her youth she was a Canadian Pop-Star! Robin Sparkles only had two hits, the first being "Let's Go to the Mall," where she goes to the mall (what a surprise right). While she is at the mall she meets a Canadian love interest, Simon, played by James VanderBeek (think Dawson's Creek), thus leading in to the her second Canadian hit "Sandcastles." In "Sandcastles" Simon breaks poor little Robin Sparkles heart after a Canadian summer of building sandcastles (shocker, right?). Being a true fan of 80's music I LOVE Robin's hits they are are rare blend of 80's and hilarity, can you say PRICELESS?
On last nights episode of HIMYM, Ted and Barney (or Uncle Barney, played The Neal Patrick Harris) use their cell phones to call each other. Low and behold, guess what Ted's ringtone was, "Let's go to the Mall"!!! While laughing myself into a coughing fit I couldn't help but think "I must have this ringtone!"
While I don't have the ringtone yet, I did buy the song off of iTunes and as a warning if I do get "Let's go to the Mall" as a ringtone I will NEVER answer my phone. You've been warned.
