WEEKEND PIE

weekend Glass and Sable madmen pie charts piechart girls tv shows beach house

This weekend was a very nice, sometimes relaxing, sometimes entertaining and exciting weekend. I got a new iMac, (wahoo!) after spending too much time going to work early to use that or my lagging 5 year old macbook. It was time for something I could rely on - especially with design school on the horizon.

Later on Saturday I saw Beach House with Tim and our friend Emily in Athens, Georgia, at the Georgia Theatre. I love taking little trips out of town to see a show. It's funny, and it's exciting. Of course the best part was the post-show hotdog from the guy who sells them outside the venue. It's a must.

So let me explain this whole "Almost breaking leg" thing. I was standing on the toilet seat lid, slipped, and all my weight via my shin hit the edge of the clawfoot tub's edge. I'm not sure I've experienced pain like that. I was laying on the ground sobbing my eyes out for 15 minutes before I looked at my leg, half expecting the bone to be sticking out. No bone, and I'm assuming no break, because it's just sore now. One hell of a knot and bruise came up, but I was able to stand on it after a few minutes of icing it down. It sure is a ghastly sight, but I'm fine. Totally scary though.

Mother's day was sweet. My mother and grandmother live in Florida, so I skyped with them for a while in the morning. It was nice to see them and talk about things. ♥ The dinner later in the day was spent with Tim's family and his mom, who is also a doll. We went back to his parent's house after dinner and caught up on all our shows. I don't know if any of you watch Girls, but I loveeee it. Lena Dunham is a genius.

Hope you had a lovely Mother's Day, all you mamas out there!

80%20

I’m not sure if any of you subscribe to Gilt, but it’s one of those deal websites that connect you with sweet bargains. If it weren’t for Gilt, I wouldn’t have found out about 80%20 shoes so soon. These are awesome shoes and I’m a quick fan. You can find them all over the place online, like Anthropologie and Urban Outfitters. Just thought I’d share the find.

P.S. Christmas is almost here! Can’t wait! I hope you all had a good weekend too. I spent a lot of time relaxing, Christmas partying, and petting my new two kitties, Zooey and Fran. Pictures of them soon!

LETS GET STUFFED!

I hope you have a great time with your families during this long weekend. I wish I could be with my folks, eating my dad's AWESOME turkey and stuffing, but I'll have that soon. As a tradition, every time I visit my parents in Tampa, our first meal together is a Thanksgiving meal. I can't wait! But for this weekend, I'll be with Tim's family, and it will be wonderful. His sister and her boyfriend are coming down from New Jersey and I look forward to seeing them again.

Next time you hear from me, I'll be 20 pounds heavier. haha. (I HOPE NOT)

I spent the day with Naomi and her family. It was great! Lots of good food and goofiness. That's Naomi & her boyfriend, Robert. Cute couple!!!

warm plans.

I am so ready for summer. Not for the heat, but for the break from school, free time, and ART. There is going to be some awesome stuff going on this summer, and I can't wait to tell you all about it. I do know for sure that I am going to be seeing Animal Collective in July and possibly Pinback next week (which I'm really excited about). Also, Tim and I are talking about taking a trip up to New York City and then taking a small road trip from there to Cape Cod. I'm so excited.

Wow, finally my first moment of real alone time for over a week. This past week was spring break for me. It was extremely early this year for us, but I was more than ready for a break. I went back home to Tampa for the week to spend with my family and my friends. The hilarious part of all my trips down there is that my parents and I have made this deal that I will spend daylight hours with them and moonlight hours with my friends. I never get enough sleep, but it works out perfectly.

All the times I have ever gone down to Florida in the past I felt like I had to go out of duty. I had some good times, but I was always more than grateful to be back in Atlanta afterwards. Before spring break, I hadn't been in Florida in over a year, and I was really starting to miss my old friends and the whole feel of the place. Not only was I in the right frame of mind, but I was very open and receptive to what the trip was going to entail, even before I got there. To say I had a blast is an understatement.

I saw a lot of friends, jumped a fence, went to a speakeasy, walked on the bayshore at night, looked at the stars in a grassy spot by the water, ate lots and lots of pineapple, went to the beach, drove all over town, went to a park downtown, walked inside of the University of Tampa several times, slow danced in the Fletcher Ballroom at UT (pictured above), watched synecdoche, new york on a comfy couch, ate a gator taco (!), spent good time with my family, etc. There are more great stories, but they are woven and locked into the fibers of my heart.

All in all, it was one of the best vacations I've ever taken, and it has been nearly miserable to be back in Atlanta where it is still cold. All I can think about is Florida sunshine, smooth, tan skin, and jazz.
