                               “When you are asked if you can do a job,



                                tell 'em, 
                                 'Certainly I can!' 
                                  Then get busy and find out how to do it.”
                                                         -Theodore Roosevelt

                                                                  I am taking my cue from President Teddy
                                                                   I've been promoted at work
                                                                    so thats why I've been slow to post lately
                                                              but no worries
                                                        My sassy self will be back soon!

17 North Roadside Kitchen - farm to table in my own backyard



~My favorite moment from our fantastic meal out last night~
me: "Do you want to try my Macaroni & Cheese- it's amazing."
(Boyfriend swiftly grabs the souffle dish with amazing mac and cheese and plucks  off parsley garnish)
Boyfriend-very serious voice:" Get that vegetable away from my mac and cheese."
(boyfriend dives into the pasta)


17 North Roadside Kitchen is our new favorite restaurant
~they grow their own veggies~
it's a seasonal and sustainable restaurant in my own backyard
and their patio is gorgeous 
(I am a sucker for fairy lights)

to the 19th Amendment 

The right of citizens of the United States
 to vote shall not be denied

 by the United States
 or by any State 
on account of sex.

It's kinda crazy that women have been able to vote
for less than 100 years
HBO

made a fantastic film a few years ago
called
Iron Jawed Angels 
starring the fab' Hilary Swank

Where is Rikki-Tikki-Tavi when you need him



They say that snakes are more scared of you 
than you are of them
*this guy doesn't look scared at all*
