A Picture Story

Coffee Chitchat

Old Man #1 with gray hair braided ponytail and cap-"Good Morning, how are you?"

Old Many #2 with gray einstein hair and willy beard- "Well other than being hungover as shit, I am doin ok. That vodka will dehydrate you."

Good Morning Girlies, I stopped into Epoch this morning for a latte and non-work doings, before actually workmaina. Epoch is a great place for working and drinking. They are open 24hrs and have an unsaid keep it down rule. I could have pictured us here a lot studying had we transplanted the Beaut MU to the Beaut UT.

A Texas whirlwind

The past two weeks have been a Texas whirlwind. From flying to H-town to drive with Blake to Liz's wedding, which was absolutely goreously perfect, to drive back to Austin with Blake and Mama-getting in at 2am. Then going to work on Monday to only drive to south Austin and stay the week at Barton Springs Resort than drive with Blake to Houston. Then finally a stop in New Braunfels to go floating and then back in Austin for work on Monday.

1. Definitely taking advantage of boss being out of town and not answering any of my emails &

2. My job able can easily be taken out-of-office

So, here are some of my favorite pics from the past two weeks

In H-town after Liz's wedding. I was working on a visually merchandising editorial and having major writers block, but I found the solution.

Driving to Barton Springs. This is Hill Country at its finest-sun setting with a mix of rain clouds and drizzle. I stopped off at a church and climbed up a hill to get a better view.

The Bestie is hitched. Man all kind good friends getting married this summer : ) Her wedding was absolutely goregous and perfect. Michael-le husband-broke him while up on stage. Liz comes out and his bottom lip quevers, really bottom lip queverege-how are is one not suppose to ball at that. This is Allison, Liz-le beautiful bride-and I in the bridalsweet before the wedding. Its been the three of us since 16, but now we have a Michael!!

Eastcrest Party. This is a pic from our first house party. The roommie and I cooked up a schload of food. This was the end of party vodka and pickle shots-its a russian thing. Aka these are also my couch surfing friends. Come play with us-we are fun!! haha

Thought you needed a pic from last post. This was me drinking and blogging, but in a I need a small glass of red wine to clear up my writers block way. Rather, its a "I'm gonna finish off this bottle of wine next to me and write to my girls" kinda way. Can't you feel the intensity.

Finally floating. It is official guys-I am TEXAN. I have floated "the river". It was a 12-pak of bud light lime worth of fun. Relaxing and Charming. The river was calm and occasional-woohoo- areas near the damns. Made some river firends and found lost of beer cans to toss at the end of the route. If you haven't floated-you must go. Its at least a once a summer activity.

I hope y'all enjoyed the pics cuz I know you can never have enough pictures of just ME. haha : )

Love you all and can't wait till I across your path....like I will be doing with AMES on September 9th!!-oh be jealous. Boston Boston. Love All.

New Loves

Disclaimer: I write this after several glasses of wine and a delicious dinner with perhaps a couple sour gummy worms thrown in there : )

New Loves

As I have grown into my twenties (in 2 yrs we will be in our mid-twneties *weird*) I have discovered several new loves. In life I do like it simple connected and slow. I love composting. I love cooking-baking to be exact. I love being social, something I thought I never would be as my nerdy anti-social jock high school self. I love social media-connecting with people and all new ways. I love reinventing-making the old and forgotten beautiful and cleaning out sorting out please more the better.

Its so interesting as we develop in life-and see our selves change or likes dislike loves desires... I can only imagine what they will be when I am 50...hmm loooking forward to it. I picture it best with me seeping whiskey on the rocks with julie and amy. Julie with something girlie yet quite classy and Amy with a gin we sharing beaut, men and work stories-mainly how we now have to deal with saggy wrinkly old men balls and us deciding to be cougars for life...haha I dont know what I just wrote. but I like it.

Mentioning loves....ok I have a secret to share...I am back to seeing blake. He has pulled me back in and I like it. I just can't shake the kid. He will forever make me laugh, his lips are still the best I have kissed and these days that is gettin to be a lot. He is so smart and for the first time in a long time he is letting him self love me all of me. He recognizes that for the reasons he loves was also the things he was trying to cut off-he was scared of , but he merely is embracing it.

Me I am not totally sure..with that love word, but I do as I always have enjoy being around so much, but I still have a cautious heart as I think I most def have the right too...so I think that is the reason for my continous dating...dudes I have been on way too many dates since I have been in austin. It is tiring me out. This week has been four different dates in one week...no thank you tired. But there is one guy who I really like. His name is Donald, but I think I may really only like him and be letting myself like because he moves to london at the end of september, so there are no complications...oh who knows love love love....I like loving non-suppose to love things like fresh scones not the actually kind haha.

I am so glad I got to see y'all at the wedding and we must plan our get together again soon. I am thinking a first weekend of october visit to como if anyone else is interested. And Ames I am comin to boston soon!! how does october 9th sound for me and a friend staying with you .... : )

Love
