It’s feels bizarre to be looking at all of these wintry photos while it’s still hot as Hades outside. I’m at that point where I’m growing tired of summer (mainly my summer wardrobe) but at the same time know I will be sad to see it go. So for now, I’m going to soak up…

a good day
Remember that post I wrote a few Fridays back about me being a happy bunny because I was finally staying put for the weekend without anything at all to do and no place to go (after over two months of go, go, go, go, go). Well this is the story of how it turned out.…
