These pictures are pre-East Coast heatwave.  I miss the heatwave. The heat doesn't bother me one bit. I'm sure it doesn't hurt that I basically only spend the amount of time it takes for me to get from my air conditioned house to my air conditioned car outside. Unless I'm on the beach or by a pool, in which case I could sit there in the heat all day, just give me a bottle of water. I could easily move somewhere that's hot all year round. I'd take a heatwave over a blizzard any day. As one of my friends put it "You don't have to shovel heat."

I haven't been taking outfit pictures anymore. I've lost interest a bit, and I've basically just been wearing simple sundresses or cut offs and a t-shirt. Isn't that the beauty of summer though?

What I'm Reading: July 21, 2011

The Hunger Games Trilogy

Suzanne Collins

I'm sure this is old news to everyone. And to be honest, I finished these weeks ago. It took me about three days to read them all. They're that addictive. Reading the synopsis of the first one, it definitely did not catch my attention. It's not something I would ever pick up. But the girls I work with were all raving about them and I trust their judgement in books so I went to Barnes & Noble, gift card in hand. And these did not disappoint. Join the herd, they're right this time. 

This isn't like that whole Twilight debacle. The herd lost some street cred with that crap. 

Even if it was addictive crap.

P.S. The price for the whole boxed set (linked above) is really good!

30 Day Photo Challenge - Day 1

Day 1 - A picture of your birthplace

This is my mom.

I was born in Malden, Massachusetts and I wasn't about to drive there to get a picture of the hospital. Hello, traffic. I could have been all lame and taken a picture of a tree or something and said "I felt truly born and alive when I saw this tree" but that would be a lie.

So I went super, super literal. And right to the source. 

Also, isn't my mom so sassy?
