Free Happiness.

I HEART the Public Library.

When I became unemployed, I searched for ways to entertain myself on the cheap.

My sister suggested I visit my local library.

Now, I am completely obsessed.

Where else can you get music, books, movies and magazines for FREE.

You see, I am in love.

That's it. Just a little shout out to SHPL.

Thanks for providing me with hours of happiness.

Muddy Music.

A few weeks ago, Morgan and I headed (ankle deep in mud) to the

All Points West Music and Arts Festival in New Jersey.

The festival was right on the water with NYC and the Statue of Liberty as our backdrop.

See our lovely lady liberty in the lower right hand corner? Right at the end of the balloons. So pretty.

Morgan got her first taste of The Black Keys live {oh love}.
She also attempted to turn me into a Coldplay fan.
{I hate to admit it but I think she was successful..."green eyes" is what got me}

It was a mudtastic day.

I want to ride my bicycle.

I want to ride it where I like.

One of my favorite parts about summer is being able to spend time riding my bike.
You never know what you might discover.

Vermont, Part Two.

"Bob and Peg's Front Porch"

in West Wardsboro, VT.

Best corned beef hash I have ever had.

Best Maple Syrup Sausage I have ever had.

Best stuffed french toast with blackberries, blueberries and

cream cheese I have ever had.

The Best.

Vermont, Part One.

This weekend, we went to Vermont for a joint birthday celebration.

Morgan's birthday is today!

Campfire, best friends, s'mores, ghost stories, sparklers, canoeing, games.

A perfect weekend.

Candles and Spanks.

Older.

Happier.

Blonde-er.

Today, I am 28!

Happy Schooliversary.

A few good things about being required to wear black everyday:

1. Black is always back.

2. It's incredibly slimming.

3. It tends to give that oh-so-chic look even if you (me) really are not oh-so-chic.

and

5. Lint roller companies stay in business. Hoorah!

p.s. Today is my one month anniversary as a "Future Professional" (aka Paul Mitchell student)! Time is a-flyin'.
