Fulton Farms
After Monty and I got back from our walk downtown, my mom and I headed to our local farmer market. I never get there as much as I want so just like the visit downtown, it was much needed. We left with two pies and a cute bottle of coconut flavoring. The pies were delicious and the coconut flavoring has made for some yummy muffins and iced teas!!!

Sandy and Monty go downtown
Monty and I ventured downtown Friday afternoon to snap some photos and take a much needed walk, since moving back to Troy I've slacked on our walks and we both definitely miss it!
The local art theatre has this amazing ivy covered wall and old doors, so it made for a perfect little photo shoot spot.
We spent most of our "walk" at the emergency exit door of the theatre because Monty could not get enough of the popcorn smell and listening to the movie that was playing.
It was a lovely walk and I've decided Friday's will be the day he and I head downtown and find cute places to take pictures!

quick two week recap.
Whoo, it's been awhile!!!
My days have been pretty low key as of late.
Last week I dog/cat/house sat for Ravi and Stephanie while they went to Vegas, the animals were super good and it was nice to be back in Dayton.
I watched both seasons of Pushing Daisies, a documentary about obesity in America (I forget the name), 180 south, Doubt, Sunshine Cleaning, part of a horrible movie Anne Hathaway is in called Havoc, the first five minutes of Boondock Saints II (it was too stupid to keep watching) and I think that is it.
I also ran two miles almost every night and took Sabin on lots of walks.
I did a bit of shopping at places I don't get to go to anymore and went to Starbucks to get coffee and fill out invitations for my sister's shower/bachelorette party.
It was a nice week away from Troy but I was missing my Monty and being around people.
I lead a pretty lonely life without Monty, Ravi and Stephanie.
This week has been work, working out, job and house/apartment searching.
I've inquired about a few jobs on craigslist but they all turned out to be scams. Boo!!!
I applied for a job as a teacher's aide a week or so ago but haven't heard from them. Oh well.
I have a couple more places too apply to so perhaps one of them will work out!!
As far as the rental search, all the rental houses around here are either gross or way over priced so the search has been slow. I haven't had much luck in the apartment search either since I'm looking for one that is part of a duplex and not a big complex.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed I find something soon. Troy life is not for me and it is getting me down.
Well, the sun is shining and Monty and I are sick of sitting inside being lazy so we're off to stroll downtown and take some photos!!!
I hope you all have a lovely Friday!!

heart pies
I made my very first all from scratch pie!!!!
vegan peach raspberry pie.
making pie is hard work. even when it is not looking perfect.
but who cares how what the lattice looks like once its done and ready to eat?!
not this girl.
you never learned, the rules have changed since we were nine
I've had a bit of a roller coaster week involving the boy who I just can't seem to get over....but now I think this is it. Between Monday and Friday it was just back and forth, good and drama, lots of things being said and we both changed out minds from what we said we wanted on Monday. Now though I believe it is finally over between us.
He has opted that we not talk. I'm having a hard time with this because I feel bad that he feels that way. Deep down though, I know not talking is probably for the best and will make moving on and feeling good again easier.
Luckily, I had Ravi and Stephanie who let me cry the for the millionth time over this boy while eating pie in their living room and also to give me their honest opinion and advice without saying "I told you so"...which is probably what I deserved and what should have been said.
Other than that I didn't do much this week besides working extra days and hours, which is wonderful (but boring) because I have my first car payment due soon!! I am enjoying my car but am scared of putting miles on it. I know that is what cars are for, but I seriously drive soooo soooooooo sooooo much and it worries me this car will end up like my last one.
Yesterday I ended up going to Dayton earlier on in the day than usual and spent the whole day hanging out with Stephanie and then Ravi when he got off work. Stephanie made us iced coffee and we had lots of girl talk, then we went to F21 for a bit-I got a pair of cute heart tights that I can't wait to wear, we made a yummy dinner, watched Arrested Development and then took pie to Starbucks and had more iced coffee. It was a lovely lovely lovely time.
I've got no plans for today but definitely want to spend it out and about!!
I hope you all have a lovely day whatever you do!

Last Week update
With all the excitement of my Pre Shark Week Shark Week, I haven't done an actual "life update" post in awhile!!
Nothing huge has happened but I have had a few lovely days with some of my favorite friends!!
On Monday Ravi and Stephanie brought Sabin up to play with Monty, Newbie and Toby...they had sooo much fun! I had fun as well, I got us all La Fiesta and we sat outside eating and having good conversation!!
Tuesday was work and then meeting up with a friend that just moved back to Troy from LA. He and his girlfriend of five years broke up, so he is here to save money and figure out what he is going to do next. It was nice catching up but he did not want the night to end!!! We got coffee, talked about life, went on a walk, stopped by his parents to say hi, went to Frickers where an Army recruiter tried to recruit us and then went on another walk!!! I didn't get home till 1:30 am!!!
Wednesday Stephanie and I met up in Tipp City to shop at their little vintage shops. Its always fun to go to the stores, but it seemed like it was all the same stuff and I hadn't been there in months!!! It was also super duper hot so after a couple stores we went to a coffee shop and had pina colada lattes...yum!!! I forget what I did the rest of the day besides going to the gym.
Thursday was just work and working out again.
Friday was National Cheesecake Day so in the evening I met up with Ravi, Stephanie and Luke for some yummy 1/2 priced cheesecake at the Cheesecake Factory!! After we hung out and played games at our friends new apartment.
Saturday morning I had a 1st birthday party to go to for one of my cousins, Ellery. She is such a pretty baby, if I ever have a daughter I want her to look like Ellery. The party was in the morning because they had a family reunion during the afternoon, that meant we got yummy breads, jams, muffins and donuts to eat instead of cake and ice cream!!! Fine by me.
That night Stephanie invited me to go see My Fair Lady with her, Ravi and Erik at The Loft Theatre in downtown Dayton. The theatre shows old movies during the summer when they don't have plays going on, so its always a special time!! I hadn't been there in years since they had a Marilyn Monroe summer movie series and I went to see Some Like It Hot.
After the movie we got coffee and talked for a couple hours, which is always a good time.
Yesterday was a slow day of playing with the dogs, grocery shopping, browsing Goodwill and a new boutique that opened in Tipp City and treating myself to a pina colada iced coffee (better and cheaper than the latte) and hitting up the gym before the premiere of SHARK WEEK!!!!
Whoo, so that was my week....sorry I jammed it all into one long post. I guess I need to start making regular daily posts to avoid that. I also need to start taking and posting pictures again!!! That will be my goal this week.

Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie
Yesterday I watched the most amazing episode of Unique Eats on the Cooking Channel!! It was all about desserts and featured some super cute places, most importantly Four and Twenty Blackbirds in Brooklyn, NY where they sell ONLY PIE!!!! Seriously, I was in awe of the place!!! I loved everything about it. Perhaps I should grab Monty and pack up my car Brooklyn bound and fulfill my dream of eating pie everyday and working in a pie shop!! I told Stephanie about Four and Twenty Blackbirds last night and suggested we open our own pie shop...someday. The episode also features Babycakes, a vegan bakery in NYC that has the best looking donuts I've ever seen and the Van Leeuwen ice cream truck that has a pistachio ice cream made with pistachio's harvested every two years off the slopes of Mt. Etna in Sicily!!!!!!!
