celebrate

(weheartit)

A good friend recently told me about her birthday celebration this year (she lives in another city, so sadly I couldn't join her) She and some friends divided up into teams and had a dessert scavenger hunt. totally beyond. They had an hour and a half to run around Washington DC and get desserts in 5 different categories: something blue, most decadent, something with the birthday girl's initials, most creative, and.....something else that I'm forgetting. Then they had 3 friends who couldn't come until later act as judges for taste, innovation, and best overall.

I need to make this activity part of my life. Like on a weekly basis.

today feels like fall

looks like fall

smells like fall

sounds like fall

All Lit Up

New sweater dress from H&M and leather boots for a lifetime from Nordstrom, a lotta storm then a little sunlight, lunch with my brothers,

good good day.

I'm playing with braids today.

blogging 101

Apparently I just blogged my 101st post. I wasn't sure where this blog would go when I started it, but I really love it. It's fun to look back through the posts, and I know some of my close friends can read it and stay updated on my life. It's definitely the most creative journal I've ever had, although I admit I don't put my most personal, innermost thoughts here as I would in a written journal.

I just finished my first real week of school. All I want to do this weekend is sleep and sleep. Which is exactly what I'm going to do, although I throwing a little fun in: boot shopping with my friend, and lunch with my brothers. I need to take some pictures soon too. I haven't picked up my camera for weeks.

I miss summer.

can I get some boots

I need a fierce pair of fall boots. These are a few that some friends suggested via my desparate facebook status. I sort of want a combination of all of them - something a littly funky, with a little slouch and possibly a little heel. I already have faux-leather black boots with a pointy heel for dressier stuff. These need to be more everyday.

This post is somewhat belated. Clearly summer is over and this movie has been out for a couple months. But I just recently saw it. I don't buy a lot of music anymore, but the soundtrack is a must. It has made my car rides and self-singalongs much more epic lately.

happy September

September and October are two of my favorite months. As a teacher, I love the back to school feel (although it can be daunting) and I love fall colors, football season, Halloween decor, and chilly, sunny days. Thanks to Jackie for reminding me about freshly sharpened pencil bouquets too :-)

That being said, I'm going to take a little blog/flickr break for several weeks. The start of school is so busy, and I also have an important extended "workshop" that I need to put a lot of effort towards, so I think it's best just to unplug for a while. Over the summer I did this a bit...while I blogged more and really enjoyed that, I spent a lot less time on facebook/email/other stuff, and I found that I really didn't miss it all that much. Balance is key. So enjoy the first few weeks of fall! Nos vemos pronto!
