And then there was Thursday.

Worked in the morning but this afternoon was all about play. Woke up the mister and we headed out to eat some Korean BBQ and Sushi at Ilsong Garden. My, Oh My. It was delicious. It was the mister's pick. When he was in the military he spent some time in Korea and he always talks about Korean food but we just hadn't gotten around to it until today. So yummy.

Here's a little pic of our sushi appetizer.

After lunch we ventured out on a little movie date and saw:

How can you go wrong with Paul Rudd? The movie was so heartfelt and funny. We both enjoyed it equally. The cast was amazing. After the movie we decided to get some Starbuck's. I got my first Pumpkin Spiced Latte of the season. I got an iced latte though. We ended up at Madison Square Dog Park sipping our latte's and walking around the park. 

Finally I am Home Sweet Home and relaxing with the animals while the mister went on a bike ride. Such a great little afternoon date we had. I wish we could sneak in some more of these days. So happy with a full heart right now.

Daily Inspiration

Sweet September.

 

Dear September, How I have missed you? I love this month too pieces. I love the change from summer to fall.  I love the little things like smelling the air change from one season to the next and bringing out that box of fall/winter clothes that has been sitting down deep inside your closet. The joy of knowing all the best holidays are right around the corner like Thanksgiving, Christmas and my favorite The New Year. I also am in love with the scents of fall candles and of course pumpkin scents and leaves, golden amber leaves. It is still triple digit heat in Texas these days but I cannot wait for Fall to be here for good. Please Hurry. I am patiently waiting. Desperately wanting.

On a Wednesday

Tired eyes and a tired heart.

Today was just one of those days.

Here is some inspiration for me and you.

On Repeat.

On a Tuesday..

Texas is hot these days. Every day it's triple digit heat. Yesterday was 112 degrees. Right now at 2 p.m. via weather.com it is 100 degrees. My house runs on air conditioner units not central air. It's such a pain but well, what can I do. My little kitchen gets so hot during this time of year so I try not to use the oven too much. I normally make salads, sandwiches, things that don't require oven or stove usage. Here's a little treat for you on what I made for Me and The Mr. today for lunch. Take a peek in my kitchen:

My little dirty stove. This is the culprit for making hot days even hotter.

Sign above my kitchen door. Bought it at Target for $4.00. What a steal!

Straw/Wooden stool I painted olive green to add some color to my kitchen. Me and The Mr. re-did our floors, hence the black and white tile. 

Fridge.

Kitchen Window.

Sink.

Cat Picture above sink. Closer look.

Lunch Time: 

Salad: Spinach, Croutons, Dried Cranberries, Bacon Bits, Feta Cheese, Cucumbers

Dressing I used. (I applied dressing after.)

I did use the oven for 13 mins to warm up a Tuscan Chicken Pizza. Yummy! 

Beverage: 

I found this great recipe over at Elsie Larson's blog, A Beautiful Mess. 

It was under Water Infused Recipes and my favorite was Lemon and Cucumber Water.
So delish and such a refresher to this triple digit heat.

Buon Appetito!

Finito.

Back from the Dead.

Sorry I have been so absent as of late. Life has been a blur of work, friends, home, pets, the breaking of hearts, the bouncing back from heart breaks and the taking time out to figure out just actually who I am and love myself for me. It is now July and I don't think I have given  a proper post or shop update since Mid-May. I have lot's of things in the works for Deer Love including a shop makeover and shop update and I also promise to jump online and blog on a daily basis again. I have one tiny secret that I cannot reveal just yet but in due time I will. It will be a very important part of my blogging process and I cannot wait to share it all with you. Once again, in due time. As for a proper update on myself, I am incredibly happy at the point in my life where I am right now. I am a single still. Still swaying in the wind with a restless heart without my one soul mate to call my own. I have been loved but it is so hard for me to love back. Lately, I have fallen in love with the idea of marriage, family, children and having that one mate you can spend your entire life with, never tiring of that person but falling more in love with them every single day. My old age has turned me into a romantic.. Who knew? 

Saturday.

Hello Saturday. 

Lots on my mind today. 

Lots. 

I'll leave it at that. 

Love, Rose

Return...

Rain, Rain, Please Stay.

What a beautiful rainy thunderstorm madness morning deep in the heart of Texas. I love the sound of rain, the smell of rain, the feel of rain. The absence of rain makes me long for it so much and now it's here, like a long lost lover. I breathe it in and take it in. Sigh. I wish I lived in a city where rain is somewhat common. South Texas is not a fan of you Rain. Now if you were a Sports Team, South Texas would be all over you.
