Wishing my days away…

How does one go back to a normal 9-5 (or in my case, 8:30-4:30) life after having a fantastic weekend? I checked the weather for the weekend and it is supposed to get as high as 82 degrees here. Needless to say, I’m incredibly ecstatic. I bought a couple of new skirts in Philly and I cannot wait to wear them. Unfortunately, today is gray and freezing for April. I want my spring back. I want my freedom back. I cannot wait for more fun. This week has cemented the fact that I want to cram a lot of day and weekend trips into my summer. And I will do it as much as possible…I hope.

 
(Some Instax photos from the weekend. I love my camera and I got a little snap happy. But when I saw this entry in one of my favorite blogs, I got jealous. I need to get outta town and take pictures of excellent things. I’m getting sick and running out of inspiration at home.)

My Philly Weekend.

 
This weekend I…

• drank way too much beer.
• ate tons of delicious food.
• saw Hot Chip live.
• went to an after party at a gay hipster bar and told Joe Goddard that his voice is my favorite. He said “Thank you.”
• bought a bunch of new clothes.
• saw people I love.
• had an amazing time.

My back is killing me, I’m tired, and my schedule is out of whack since I worked on Saturday and had today off. But I had the most amazing weekend with my sister. I am so glad she’s 21. I’m so glad we got to have so much fun. Life is certainly good.

Happy Weekend!

I’m about to get in my car and drive to Philly in less than an hour. I’ll be staying ‘til Monday to bar hop, eat delicious food, do a bit of shopping and wandering around the city, and see Hot Chip live!

I’m very excited. Philadelphia is always my little escape. I’m exhausted and I’ll be crashing on an inflatable bed…but it’ll be worth it, I’m sure.

Have a great weekend everyone, whatever you do!!!

Skin tight.

A couple of weeks ago, I bought a new pair of jeans from TJ Maxx. I have gotten quite a few pairs of skinny jeans from that store for great sale prices. My latest only set me back 15 bucks. I guess you could technically call them “jeggings” if you’re into that sorta thing, though they have a zipper and button, belt loops, and pockets.

I was putting off wearing them for who knows what reason, but I ended up wearing them the entire weekend. When I met my friends at the movies, one of them asked if I had painted them on that morning. I must admit, it secretly delighted me. I have this obsession with extremely tight skinny jeans. I am always on the lookout for super skinny jeans that are comfortable on the hips while still being perfectly tight on my skinny legs. These have made me happy. But I’ll always be looking for more…

Some Facts…

• My favorite time of the day is when the sun is beginning to set and everything is golden, especially in the summer when you can still feel the warmth on your skin.
• The dill pickles from the Country Cottage in Jim Thorpe, PA are honestly one of the best things I’ve ever tasted. I cannot eat and thoroughly enjoy any other pickles.
• I largely dislike when people don’t respond to my text messages, phone calls, or any attempt to communicate. One thing to do it when it’s just a simple statement. But when I ask a question or, even worse, I haven’t talked to you in a while and I thought we were really good friends…you’re hurting my feelings.
• I’m trying really hard to not let the little things bother me (see failure above). I want to make sure I worry about the right people and the right things, instead of wasting precious moments giving a crap about people/things that obviously don’t give one about me.

How About It Then?

I kinda had a feeling I would love this movie, and it’s official. Maybe it’s because I love radio so much. Because I interned at a station with a history in it…

I love rebellion, music, and seeing a bit of history in the things I love (even if it’s a theatrical embellishment).

It doesn’t hurt that one of the main characters was hot either…

Why must the time fly?

Another weekend has flown by. I made sure to stay busy, going to the movies twice (The Runaways was badass, artsy, and cool to watch. Kick Ass disappointed me. I am not a fan of violence, especially when I’m not really expecting that much…shoulda looked into it more I guess.) I spent plenty of time with my friends, and drank way more soda and beer than my usual water.

 
It’s time for bed, but I’m bummed. The end of Sunday is always sad. But I have next weekend to look forward to…always. And this one will be special because I will spend it in Philly with my sister and long-lost friends, seeing one of my favorite bands live, and seeing where my sister likes to go out. I’m so glad she’s of age now.

I just hope this week will be a good one ‘til then…
