summer skin

 

I didn't intend to take a break from blogging for the summer, it just kind of happened. I've been working a lot, and getting things together to move into my new apartment. Once life is settled into a familiar, easy pace again...I'll be back.

let's go to the beach

 

I went to Destin last week with my sister and her family. It was a blast. It rained the first two days we were there, but afterwards, the clouds cleared and we had perfect, sunny weather for the rest of our stay. I read about four and a half books. (An Abundance of Katherines - John Green, In the Woods - Tana French, The Selection and The Elite - Kiera Cass, and part of To the Lighthouse - Virgina Woolf.) 

I also took a few family photos of my sister and  her family, and coerced her into taking a few of me.

I hope you all are having a lovely spring so far! (Or lack thereof. It's been snowing off and on in Nashville all day!)

picnic at the park

My wonderful friend and former roommate Jo is in town this weekend! She, my suitemate Keri, and I decided to have a picnic at the park and take pictures today. We stopped by Whole Foods, then headed out to Percy Warner. It was the perfect way to spend an almost warm March afternoon. We took a few serious pictures, but mostly we just goofed-off. It was fun getting my camera out again!

you don't bring me flowers anymore

 

I was having a crummy day earlier this week. I don't remember why now, exactly. I was probably upset at myself for the same old things. (Actually, it was probably because it was 15 degrees outside and I had to go grocery shopping.) I had joked on twitter that I was going to reward myself with tulips for actually unpacking my room (two weeks into the semester). As soon as I walked into Trader Joe's, I saw bunches of tulips on sale for $1.99. I wanted to buy ALL the tulips. And I decided: why shouldn't I buy myself some flowers? If I'm waiting around for a boy to bring me flowers I'm going to be waiting for a very long time. So I bought flowers. Because sometimes you have to love yourself. You have to say, "I'm sorry." I'm sorry for being so angry at myself for things I can't control. I'm sorry for not giving myself the same amount of grace I give to others. I'm sorry for not always taking care of myself.

So I bought them, arranged them (poorly), photographed them, and then ate an entire bag of carrots. The end.
