i’m on a boat

Sunday, June 27th, 2010

well folks, we’re leaving for our cruise today! seven days of sun, sand and pina coladas. plus some snorkeling, water sliding and some casino playing (yep, there’s a casino on the boat, woot woot).

so here’s to hoping i don’t get too sunburnt, and that we don’t get lost at sea during one of our shore excursions.

i hope everyone has an awesome week!

this summer, i’m looking forward to
my cousin’s new baby wyatt making his debut in the next week
we’re going on a family trip!…not sure where yet but somewhere with lots of sand, water and sun
another trip to seattle — this time we’re going to take day trips to both portland and vancouver
the river
weenie dog play dates
reading for pleasure
sno cones
exploring austin while eating said sno cones
trying out all the tasty food trailers around the city
trips home to spend time with family and friends
cute florals
sandals
fajitas.

i don’t know why i said fajitas, they just sound really good right now.

summer outfits

Friday, May 21st, 2010

lately i’ve been daydreaming about summer outfits to put together for well, whatever occasion you can possibly think of. {date nights, exploring the city, vacations, etc. etc.}

i’ve been trying to making conscious “outfit” purchase decisions, instead of just buying random pieces and hoping that they match with something i already have.

isn’t this outfit perfect for summer? light, airy and fun.
the blazer is for those nights when it’s chilly. which, never ever happens during summers in Texas.
but, i’m hoping/planning to be going back to Seattle later this summer, so it’d be perfect up there.

a new design and a sigh of relief

Saturday, May 15th, 2010

a huge thanks to ellie over at rainy day templates for setting me up with this new blog design!
it’s pretty, it’s clean, it’s pretty clean…i love it

oh, and i’m officially finished with school for the semester…heck YES.  going into this semester, with everything that had happened, i didn’t know if i could make it.  but i did make it, and now i feel like i can breathe a little easier.

i’m heading back to houston tomorrow to spend the week with my sister, then i honestly don’t even know what i’m doing.  i have a few potential job prospects bouncing around, so i’m just playing it by ear.  all i know is that next week is going to consist of swimming, lots of puppy walks, catching up on sleep and eating fruit.  eating fruit because that’s my new thing, apparently.

have a great weekend!

summer, that is.
despite the numerous projects and papers 
i have to complete between now and then,
i can’t wait for the freedom summer will bring.
{granted i’ll be working, but no school, huzzah!}
