i'll be yours

i'll be yours by those dancing days. fun song. fun video. get up and shake your groove thang. 

absent but not forgotten

well, hey. remember me? i have been MIA on the blog for a while, and i miss you guys.

the thing is, i've met someone. this month called september happened and we fell in love so quickly. it's been a whirlwind, and we've basically spent every waking moment together. this is what september and i have been up to lately...

wilmington/wrightsville day trip. the sun, the ocean, the palm trees, the huge plates of mexian food we ate for dinner. with that kind of combination how can you have a bad day? unless you're the scrooge or something.

my roommate's 27th! ain't she something in that party hat, mom cardigan, and shiny bowling shoes? i am so blessed to have a bestie and roommate built into one convenient person. she's the best, and she doesn't judge me when i eat half a cheeseburger and spoonfuls of cool whip for dinner.

weekend trip to dc. we stayed in georgetown, went wedding dress shopping with amy's old roommate, ate dinner at clyde's, and i got to have breakfast my good childhood friend rebecca at bread and chocolate. we also went to a wine fest in virginia and enjoyed lots of tasty samples including holiday spiced (christmas in your cup) and jalapeño wine. (oy! that one was a kick to the mouth). good times were had by all.

and this just happened today. our new couch is here! we were borrowing a couch from a friend, but when she moved and took it with her, i decided to become a real adult and invest in a couch to call my own. this part is important: it didn't come from goodwill. that's how much of an adult i am. now where did my bowl of my chocolate cocoa puffs with sugar star marshmallows go? i'm hungry.

sorry i've been absent. i'm still in the honeymoon stages with my new lover, autumn. soon enough we'll be tired of each other, and i'll be back with regular blog posts. 

it affects everything

party rocking

expect my reception to be something like this.

who am i kidding? i'm not this cool, and i certainly don't have a gazillion dollars to spend on disco balls.

but oh how i wish i did.

last trip to the beach this season. took a day trip to wrightsville, and it was quite lovely. lots of beach napping. (like so many naps). 

there was also a walk through downtown wilmington and a stop at flaming amy's burrito barn. we made sure we were long out of our bikinis before we sat down and stuffed ourselves with burritos and chips and queso. after a meal like that nobody wants to see you in a bathing suit. 

goodbye, beach. thanks for a good time. i'll holler at you next year.

this month kicks off my all-time mostest favoritest season-autumn! i can't tell you how much i love this time of the year. it kind of makes me go googly eyed and fall in love with everyone. i think it's mainly because i've just survived four months of muggy heat with sweat dribbling down my neck, and now i feel like a beautiful fresh faced angel of light. 

grab your wooly socks and leather boots, and let's go run around an apple orchard together. i'm feeling frisky.
