New blog and doggie and hot springs and weekend!

Well. I've been reading tons of design blogs, and I just added approximately ninety bajillion of them to my Google Reader, but I was struggling to remember all the pretty things I liked. So, I started a Tumblr blog where I'm posting all the interior design images that I find attractive or inspiring. It's really fun. I spent awhile going over archives of a bunch of sites that I liked, and I feel pretty caught up now, so I can just add photos as they get posted, for the most part.

Also, I showed the blog to Torsten? And he hated pretty much every one. Really, it's a miracle that we managed to agree on a house. But actually, I think he'd like the things about the pictures that I like, once he saw how they were applied in our own house. He just has trouble extrapolating from model homes to our own lived-in space.

In other news, we went on a hike out in the foothills last weekend, and had a great time. The landscape was gorgeous (full set here):





And Montana enjoyed herself, despite still having to wear her t-shirt (we figured out that we needed to tie it up, 80s-style, to prevent her from tripping):


But the good news is, she got her staples out yesterday and she's healing great, so no more t-shirt for her. We even took her to the dog park last night, and she was fine. And perfect timing, too, because this evening we're going to a hot springs as a pre-birthday trip for me, and she's coming with us. Though of course she won't be coming to the actual hot springs, there is a river nearby and I'm sure she'll appreciate going on lovely nature walks without having to be humiliated in front of the other dogs in her hobo-esque t-shirt.

It should be an awesome weekend. I'm excited for my first-ever hot springs trip, and for turning 25 in just a few days. I hope you all have awesome weekends too!
