odds and ends

I've become obsessed with googling harry potter actors since, obviously, HP7part2. The twitter/tumblr/youtube invterviews are a dangerous rabbit hole of hours of time-wasting. Draco has a twitter, peeps! (photo cred: from there)

I've also reread the series from books 1-6 (I reread 7 right before the movie....not sure if I'm going to do it again or not). Books 2 and 5 used to be my faves. Now it is 3 and 5 for sure.

I am not quite able to process that july is over. 2 weeks until i go back to st. louis. it's not school that i actually dislike. it's the in-between, transitioning. I gotta work on that.

Feeling the need for a change next summer.....as much as I love the up north, read tons of books, host lots of friends/fam, beachy, summery lifestyle, I need to switch it up a bit next summer. I think a travel is needed, and not just the quick 2 day trips to visit friends.

I am a terrible blogger during the summer

not that I'm a great blogger the other nine months of the year. but I'm too busy working, reading, laking, biking, and not checking my email 8 times a day. to suffice, some fun summery images.

Loving my new/old purse found at a resale store in detroit for 8 bucks. first purse I've owned in a while.

life on a lake

Over the weekend I had a college reunion/get together type thing with some of my college roommates. A few were missing from the epic house we all lived in, but it was predictably awesome to reminisce, swap adult-life stories, and act a fool.

2,3,4 july

warm days, orange sunsets, personal/illegal fireworks....the best kind.
