friday randoms

It's finally Friday! I still haven't decided what to do this weekend. We went to Santa Monica this past Sunday. I love Santa Monica. There is a great shopping area called Third Street Promenade where people-watching is at it's finest. If you go on the weekend, you'll be serenaded by local musicians and other performing artists. Celebrities are often photographed in SM and I am hoping to see at least one. I should go on a random day, like Tuesday, because everyone knows celebrities don't go anywhere on the weekends. Right?!

Here are some Friday randoms...

• St. Patty's day is on Sunday! I need to find something green to wear...and an Irish Pub. I found this cute green maxi dress from Old Navy, but it is on backorder until after St. Patty's. That won't help me. I guess I should have started shopping earlier. 

• Why is everyone obsessed with kale? I have been scared to try it, but found it on sale at the grocery store so I caved and bought it. I am going to start with Smitten Kitchen's recipe for baked kale chips.
• I'm loving The Lumineers. I cannot stop listening to their album on iTunes.
• I made these shrimp lettuce wraps with mango avocado salsa on Wednesday night and they are really good (and husband-approved!).
• I need this installed immediately. Definitely "organizational porn" for me.
• Take 2 minutes to read this article called "19 Ways to Love Yourself." Even though life is fast-paced, it is important to treat yourself. I love #2. Lighting a scented candle makes me happy.
• Meet Scooter, one of my Dad's jack russell terriers. You have to smile when you look at this photo.

Have a great day!
