Life Lately

Reality of my life right now: lots of sleep-in time, going to work with the kiddies a couple of times a week to make some bank, lots and lots of blog-reading, a couple of Chinese soap operas (they are addicting, give me a break), a workout or two, some de-cluttering, and friend time!

A few snapshots that liven up the boring reality:

{ tickling the ivory for the first time in a very, very long time. }

{ homemade dumplings that my mom and dad made. yes, i am spoiled. }

{ a breathtaking shot of the sky on a balmy summer night. }

{ talking and chilling for hours with my beautiful friend Juliana and her significant other Trenton }

{ refreshing sno-cones - first of the summer for me! the lime green one is mine, a pina colada-like concoction. perfection. }

{ a pseudo-double date w/ Brina, Trent, and Juliana - thanks for being my "other half," Brina, you're the best best friend ever }

{ en route to Cheddar's with Juliana and Brina ... my Shepard's Pie was a tad too salty, but a still good treat! roundtable story time is the loveliest. }

{ babysitting duties. she survived the feeding! victory! }

{ Brina and I babysat for our former math teacher ... the darlingest kids ever. Such sweethearts! }

{ a Panera Bread and Pinkberry excursion with my middle school friends Brina, Valerie, and Maddie; such great conversations and they came with the realization that we are no longer the dorky, naive girls we used to be! also, it's kind of silly to review Panera Bread, but I want to rave about their Turkey Bacon Bravo... please try this sandwich if you go, its slightly sweet crunchy goodness is ridiculously amazing! }
