Pinterest Anonymous

Hi. My name is Addie and I'm addicted to Pinterest. It's been two minutes since my last pin. Really though, Pinterest has become such a part of my life, it's in my morning ritual. Wake up, brush teeth, make coffee, look at Pinterest. There are just so many wonderful things out there, literally at our finger tips that we can see and learn. 

Above is a snap of my Pinterest profile, there are 6 more boards that I couldn't fit in the the picture. In total I have 9,508 pins. WHAT? How does that even happen? I'm almost breaking 10,000. Now admittedly I have done one, yes one, DIY project that I found, and have made zero of the recipes... but I do look at the cute puppies quite frequently! In fact studies show that looking at pictures of cute animals helps students do better on exams. Seeing as Final are next week...GIVE ME ALL THE CUTES. That's sure to help my pass business calc, right? 

My other boards are inspired by my favorite movies, clothing items and beauty tricks. I have boards for my favorite people,  my mom, my peak pal, and my boyfriend. Ever since Pinterest introduced the "sending," feature though, I just bombard my mom with pins that way. In fact the two of us pin more to each other then text each other. It's just a cute way to share things we think the other would like. 

Of all the social media apps out there I would have to say that Instagram is my favorite, but Pinterest is my second. I hope to one day have enough free time to do some of the DIY projects and make my love some of the yummy recipes I've found. So now that you've seen mine, I'm curious about other pinner profiles out there. What do you pin the most?  What does you're Pinterest look like?  

Brunching it Up

So, Leland says that I need a hobby. Thus I have decided to commit to this whole blogging thing. Of course when I said that I would be taking a lot more photos of us, Leland wasn't really stoked. Most of the photos I get of him are totally candid, and always unwanted. I think he's cute when he plays guitar or cooks me dinner, and I want photographic evidence that he is so great! Anyways, I'm going to try to be a better blogger, but with final this week and next, and me working two jobs I don't know how committed I can be.
Anyways, we went to brunch on Sunday and it was the best thing, ever. We went to a little local place called Prep & Pastry. I had seen a lot of my fellow Tucson instagramers posting about it and decided to look at the menu online. Let me tell you, just reading about all the yummies they had to offer made my mouth water. So it was decided that as soon as we could, we would go.
The restaurant has only been open since last January, we learned from one of the owners, but it already seems like THE cool place to be. When we pulled up the parking lot was full, but by some miracle I got a spot right by the door, and there was a table for two open right when we walked in.The atmosphere was super laid back and "Pinteresty." They have a wall that is all chalkboard that has cute lettering and phrases on it. "Brunch without booze is just a sad, late breakfast." TRUTH. The only drawback was that they were quite busy, seeing as it was Sunday morning, and our order was taking a while to be processed. Our waitress quickly remedied this however by giving us a salted caramel, "croughnut," on the house! That, the guava- orange mimosa, and fun conversation about the future helped to pass the time. When the food came we were just completely blown away. I had the monte cristo, and Leland had breakfast poutine. Both dishes were better than anything I could have dreamed, and I now want to use French Toast for all of my sandwiches. When they came to clear our plates the waitress exclaimed, to Leland, "Did you get the Breakfast Poutine?! I've never seen anyone finish that before!" Ah yes, my boyfriend, the human vacuum and anomaly. One Bloody Mary, my first and last, and a breakfast beer later we were too full to speak, and thus is the making of a wonderful brunch. I highly recommend this place to anyone in Tucson, and Leland and I have decided that once we get, "grown up jobs," we will have to become regulars.
