The cooler weather is on its way back out, we're probably going to have to turn the AC back on tomorrow after having the windows open since Saturday. It wasn't quite sweater weather today, but I'm tired of my spring and summer wardrobe. I will force it to be fall if I have to, dangit!

Two-for-One

Matt and I went on another long bike ride on Sunday, this time we headed north to Fernandina Beach. (The motorcycle picture was taken in Jacksonville beach, however, the far superior beach of the two.) We had some appetizers and a couple of beers while watching the Jaguars at a local bar, hung out near the water for a bit, and then had a couple of beers at a biker bar called Hammerhead. While all of the clientele were mine and Matt's seniors by at least a decade, it was a really cool group of folks to hang out with. The biker crowd may look rough, but they're some of the most genuine people you will ever meet.

Last weekend was our first taste of cooler temperatures, and I was excited to break out my favorite Forever 21 cropped jacket. The scarf was more for function than fashion, I learned on my first long-distance motorcycle ride about the effects of high speeds on dirty roads on my skin, so while we were riding I kept the scarf over my face to keep the dirt out of my pores. I'm sure I was a sight to see, riding around with a scarf over my face!

We catered UNF's Founder's Day lunch today, and my outfit started out as an intent to show my Osprey Spirit in blue and gray. After some playtime in my closet, however, I ended up in a floral dress with a gray cardigan. But there's still blue and gray in the mix, right?

Weekend Wrap-Up

My apologies for a longer-than-usual absence! With Matt getting back last Wednesday, running errands to get the apartment in order, and still having to work Thursday through Sunday, life has been just a wee bit hectic.

Craziness aside, I still managed to capture a few images from the weekend.

We had our first dinner together in the apartment Friday night. We're still lacking in the dining furniture department, so my footlocker served as a dining-room table and the floor as our chairs. I made Mexican stuffed peppers and got to enjoy a glass of wine that was brought to me from France. Pretty awesome, huh? Those flowers were also from Matt, he had them in hand when he got off the boat on Wednesday.

I didn't think to snap any pictures on Saturday, but in a nutshell we went to an arts market in downtown Jacksonville, went to my favorite shop in the historic district, picked up some new clothes for Matt at the mall, and picked out a couch. We're so excited to have a couch, you have no idea!

The shorts pictured in my outfit came from Wolfgang. I bought a pair of linen black shorts from Forever 21 last week to wear to the pier for Matt's homecoming, but the darn things were wrinkled and sagging in the rear by noon. I know better than to expect high quality from F21, but I think I redeemed myself with the Wolfgang pair.

Sunday was slightly less hectic, a couple of stops at the St. John's Town Center and an early dinner at Mimi's Cafe. We stopped in at West Elm where there was an entire wall display of owls. Sadly we left without one, but I made sure to mention that I still need three or four more owls to complete my collection.

Off to watch a movie and get to bed to so we can wake up for our couch delivery in the morning!
