Things I love

My Puppy!

My Fiance Eating Almonds

New Places New Faces

Yo Yo Gangsters

I am now officially a Texan!!! (cue cheering crowd and band playing) Ok I know its not that exciting, or maybe its not exciting at all. I am still undecided how I feel about it but an trying to stay positive! I moved to Round Rock, TX in January to be with my fiance (matt). Round Rock is a boring lameo suburban town/city. But it is right outside of the awesomeness that is Austin, TX. Austin is like a liberal/hippie/outdoor athletic hub inside a state that is known for being everything opposite. Here are some awesome things about Austin:

Giant Parks where dogs run free!!

Gorrilla Runs!!

(Yup, that's me!)

Yummy Delicious Food Stands, Good Music, and really really nice people!!!

Down Vests

I would like to buy a new down vest... do I really need one? Well... the old one is getting pretty old... and I love it. So yah, I guess it's on my list. The question is what one to go for...


Down Sweater Vest by Patagoina, 120 off Backcountry... I've always been kind of a Patagucci girl...The North Face Aconcagua.... 98 at Backcountry colors are questionable

Or Northface Redpoint, 98 off Backcountry....I wish I weren't such a gear snob.

Haven't we been lame

Well, I up and moved to a small town in midcoast Maine for the summer (...and beyond...). And not only am I in this small town, but I am also in the woods of this small town. At a summer camp. Sharing the internet with thirty other people. And running a summer camp. Needless to say there wasn't much time for blogging. I haven't decided if I will return to the blogging world in full force, seeing as life is more simple than in Somerville, but hellos are certainly in order.

The summer is done and no more Sunday=spaghetti day=kids' first day at camp. Sunday now = weekend. Phew. It was quite the lovely summer though, filled with bubbles, silly band trading, tunes and laughs. Another successful season, and a bunch of happy campers.

I'm excited to transition into a slower paced life working normal work hours during a normal work week, but still doing fun things with people I love.

Liking it

Here's a site I'm really liking--groovier than Etsy, I think.

And P.S. I had a birthday four days ago.

Silly Bandz

I'm all for them. Except for the 'z'.

These are the best fad ever. I'm trying to think of the fads from my youth:
silly bandz vs. tamagachi
silly bandz vs. pogs
silly bandz vs. JNCO jeans
silly bandz vs. Nickelodeon

I purchased three packs the other day so I can give them out to my counselors at camp this summer (moving up for real tomorrow!) so we can prove we're cool enough... and trade. I wore two to school today--puzzle piece shaped.

P.S. Kelsey will be receiving a BFF shaped silly band when she arrives home (she's in Washington!...bet she won't check the blog while she's gone!)

Tom's

My Tom's are starting to smell, and that's what's bothering me. I don't mind that the edges are starting to rip and that the sewed in plastic bit by the heel has been long gone. Nah, they look loved. They are loved. But now they're starting to SMELL loved. So I want some new ones. And I want the same ones (navy blue classic) BUT check out these fabulous new wedges from Tom's! I will also be looking into getting myself a pair of these.
