summer day 80

this is me. playing with hipstamatic. working at a job that often tires me in more ways than one. wishing this feeling of "is there more to life than x?" would either be answered or go away because taunting hypothetical questions are just dumb. rocking the flower headband. realizing my car is a mess. looking forward to fall.

10 more days, friends. and then what? dream a new adventure for me.

summer day 79

downloaded a new camera app for my iPhone. this is entertainment.

summer day 78

beautiful day in eagle.




lead to an impromptu solo 6ish mile bike ride on my mom's new schwinn.






hung out at heritage park after sulking because I didn't have a bike lock and therefore couldn't get starbucks.






enjoyed some quiet time cruising around my old stomping grounds. felt good to breathe some fresh air. as c once stated, "girls don't sweat; they glisten."






and then I indulged in some nachos and hummus and garden tomatoes for the BSU game. another great day.

summer day 77

introducing the newest member of my medicine box: diphenhydramine 50mg, aka extra-strength benadryl. this is because I work out, get all amped and stuff, and then I can't sleep. so this is what it comes down to...to be healthy means to be drugged. I knew it.

ps it was a good day! phantom butt pains from the previous day's bike ride, coffee with Amy, made homemade salsa and corn chips, and family dinner.

summer day 76

sometimes I think I am a grown up.








(yes, I did that all by myself.)

but then...



















...really really really fighting the urge to purchase pink studded cowboy boots and owl pillows proves I am still such a little kid. and I think this is ok.

summer day 75

a few months ago, I accepted my chub and donated all my small clothes. I kept a few things but mostly for sentimental reasons.





now none of my clothes fit. i've been rearranging my closet, cursing my formerly 18-lbs heavier self for being so reckless, and i'm trying to decide if another 5 lbs is really what I want--or if I could allow myself a chocolate chip cookie without jogging/fast walking 2.5 miles on the treadmill as punishment.

you think you know what you want, and then being nicknamed "baggy butt" suddenly changes everything. this is a dilemma.

summer day 74

got me some new asics to train for my 5k race in October. ah, this is change.

summer day 73

today was the day of unexpected cute things.

this is at old navy. and I wonder if it comes in my size?




this is a spiral notebook at borders.





I didn't get a picture of the worn brown cowboy boots at famous footwear...strangely attracted to them.

summer day 72

I like big books and I cannot lie. this is the exception. studying for the certified technician exam = boo.

summer day 71

I bought some gum.





this is the ugliest color wrapper ever. is it weird that I think the gum now tastes like ca-ca?
