city girl wish list.

for the most part, i love the weather here in san francisco.

chilly and overcast some days,

crisp and sunny others,

and always scarf worthy.

i'm a lover of fall weather and a fan of all things layered.

recently i've been 'indulging' via window shopping and online browsing for a few

possible add-ons to my slightly warmer, san luis obispo closet.

here are a few of my wishes.

saving up.
hope you enjoy some indulgences- happy friday!

leap year post.

random ramblings for wednesday, february 29th.

::: another 'fave find' that i will share with you later this week. an incredible art store right around the corner that some how finds its way into almost everything i do now... art class? bored at home? wishing i wasn't studying? blog inspiration? they all lead me to believe that i may need to make a few purchases and have an art day this weekend.

::: pathophysiology and pharmacology. you tricky devils you. i am quite positive that i have cumulatively made more flashcards in the past six weeks than over my whole life. too bad i aced your first test. boom roasted.

::: slight addiction to all things involving photosynthesis. succulents, herb pots, raised bed miniature garden via pinterest, hanging crate plants. i think 'sloat' did this to me and now all of a sudden i am only drawn to the apartments online that have garden/backyard access or large porches. maybe a trip to the 'japanese tea gardens' in golden gate park this weekend?

::: shots. (a year ago this would be a different kind) but for now, a painful amount of shots yesterday has me feeling yucky and achey (i guess last years kind does the same thing) but really, the kind with the needle. thanks for humbling me usf student clinic after i learned how cool it was to give them last week. officially grounded again.

::: shout out to my walnut girls, b, han, and the fam in slo. especially since you guys are the only ones reading this. miss you all and fyi you're awesome.

::: scrolled thru my entire blog the other day and was pleasantly surprised to be able to look back a year or two or three ago to see what i was up too. pretty cool embition, pretty cool.

::: remember how i told you i was getting off crutches, well not so much. still on them (super lame). yes, i am on week eight. but get to start physical therapy next week. hallelujah for movement.

::: an overwhelming amount of indulgences this past weekend served me well but has shot my motivation to do anything productive this week. thin mint girl scout cookies, instyle magazine purchase, girl dinner date, oscars cheese and wine night, farmers market veggie buys, and first experience with a cappuccino on a wonderful brunch outing (i love caffiene). studying doesn't quite compare when you put it next to those goodies. too bad emily, its time to study again.

happy leap year!

fave find: sloat nursery

found a new little hole in the wall that reminds me of home.

visited sloat nursery today after studying in a coffee shop in the marina.

brings me back to slo in a way- pretty pots, organized little starter plants and seeds, and fun gardening gadgets.

no purchase today but i will once i get some supplies from father green thumb in a few weeks at home.

 

 

i highly suggest dropping by!

hope you're having a great monday!

saturday morning farmers.

spent my saturday strolling/ hobbling around the ferry building farmers market.

this just happens to be one of my favorite san francisco places.

good coffee, great food, hippies with produce and starter plants, beautiful gifts, crisp ocean views, and incredible people watching.

classic sf.

sampled fruits, veggies, jams, cheeses, and dips.

cheese, bread, succulents, what else could you need. 

 and enjoyed this incredible stilton, arugula, and caramelized onion cowgirl creamy grilled cheese.

oh-my-heavens-you-should-be-way-jealous.

happy saturday friends!

needles + oranges.

folks, nursing school got real today.

learned injections and loved it!

sub-q, im, intradermal, insulin.

you name it and i can stick it.

how much do you love that our initial learning took place on a hotdog and a cutie?

i bet you'd be surprised to know that we had to perform exact titrations, aspirations, and angular sticks or the lovely cutie and hotdog would have 'complications'.

and to toot-my-own-horn, i was darn good at placing (hotdog) ppd tests.

perfect little bubbled guys.

starting to get practical and i love it.

worth it.

extra good thoughts for all of my crazy exams tomorrow and the next day

and a big cyber kiss/hug for my little friend in pt school!

first week.

shared by a fellow nursing student and could't be more true.

you'd be surprised how intense bed making, bathing, mitering, and gloving are.

and i wouldn't consider myself a pansy.

slobound.

slobound (verb): a facebook term used by cal poly alumni for status updates when venturing
back to san luis obispo for the weekend.

(synonyms for 'slobound' include: 'i wish i never had to leave slo', 'college was the best ever', 'i still party even though i am supposed to be a big, graduated person', 'i will be on marsh street this weekend between 10pm and 2am', 'slo is better than my hometown', and 'i will eat firestone, get breakfast burritos, see everyone that i graduated with at the bars, and eat taco bell at 1:30am")

never really got this facebook status memo until i moved up here and realized the crazy high that you get when you are driving on the 101 and almost to slo on a friday evening.

thanks nursing school for bringing me up here, letting me love the city, but allowing me to go to slo to have a great time. i now understand the thrill of 'slobounding'.

(roomies- love youuu!)

case and point, slo was great this weekend.

just the perfect amount of family and friends time before this nursing school steals my sleep and life for the next few weeks.

happy monday!
