Spring Weekend

You know those days where you just kinda fly by the seat of your pants? That was yesterday for me, and quite perfect considering the beautiful weather for the first day of Spring.

Plans sort of fell through, but we didn’t let that stop us. A couple summers ago (actually, almost 3…damn), we made a dance video and everyone’s been itching to make another. So we set out to meet at our friend’s house and film some clips. Yeah, he wasn’t home. So we ended up filming some stuff anyways, and eventually wandering to the nearby baseball field to shoot some more stuff and have an impromptu playground photo shoot.

  After this, we decided to get some free Rita’s. Ed never had Rita’s Italian Ice before, but what better time to try it than when you don’t have to pay? I’m pleased to say his fickle taste buds enjoyed!
I love random fun days. And wearing a light jacket. I have new sunglasses to rock for this spring 2010. And, obviously, great friends to spend sunny days with. Life is good. 

The Runaways

Yes, I want to see this movie. Kristen Stewart isn’t the greatest actress in the world, but I can’t help but like her. Maybe it’s just because she’s so normal. Sometimes watching her in interviews is like watching a near-miss train wreck..I feel awkward because of how awkward she comes off. But really, it looks like Dakota Fanning takes the cake (she’s really the main character in the film anyway). Can you believe she’s only 16? And she plays these rolls so well. It’s nice to see a young actress do just that…act. And well.

But anyways, the outfits, the rock and roll, the badassery…yeah, I’ll be checking out this movie as soon as possible.

Little Lovely Life Moments

 

 

I love how golden the sky gets when the sun is setting. And travel. And conversation. I still love this movie.

I think I’ll watch it as I fall asleep…

10-Day Forecast

It is soooo nice to check Weather.com and see sunshine and temperatures in the 50s! I feel like it’s been too long. Sure, it looks like there will be some impending rain at the end of the weekend. But…it isn’t snow!

The way I see it, it will only go up from here. Eventually, it will be consistently above 50 and 60 degrees. And eventually, I will not need a coat anymore. And eventually the sun will shine longer and I will be licking melted ice cream cone off my hand, all relaxed and tired from swimming and sunning the whole day. Yum!

They say it’s your birthday.

So, Saturday was my sister Maria’s 21st birthday! Initially, she was going to spend the majority of it in Philly and come home Sunday for cake and dinner with the family. She ended up coming home on Saturday night, and my friends and I tagged along with her to our favorite hometown haunt to celebrate.

 
We celebrated the next day with Hibachi dinners at Mirakuya (complete with tons of squirted Saki shots and free fried ice cream for my sis). I love Hibachi. The entire experience is funny and enjoyable and the food is always delicious. And even though they cook it right in front of you on the table, it’s always perfectly cooked and ready to eat right away.

And no birthday is complete without cake and ice cream!
 
I’m so glad I got to celebrate this special birthday with her! We had a lot of fun, drinks, and good food. I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to have fun with her, because I don’t really have the money to drive to Philly and back right now. But she ended up coming home, which is exactly where we all wanted her to be!

Upcoming Changes and Updates

I hate when I don’t blog regularly. My last post was on Wednesday. Maybe not that long ago, and maybe it doesn’t actually matter. But I get frustrated personally because not a day goes by that I don’t plan a post in my head. I suppose I’ve been busy and/or running around a lot these last few days.

Anyway, I was attempting to figure out how I could fix up and change my blog around. I have a friend who is pretty knowledgeable in graphic design and stuff. I wish I could do it on my own. I would just love a layout that looks less like a template and more personal. I want to make this blog a fun place to come.

Hopefully, I will be working on some things and you’ll see some changes around here soon. A banner will most definitely be the first change. But we shall see. I’ll be posting about my weekend (which was pretty good and, as always, way too quick) later tonight!

Flyin’ High

I don’t wear heels. I have two pairs, and while they have gotten some use (one a pair of booties, the other knee-high boots), I just never want to wear them. Everything I wear is flat. Ballet flats, sneakers, even my boots have less than a 1” heel if anything at all. But I kinda fell in love with a bunch of cut-out booties and gladiator heels (thanks to an article in Seventeen Magazine, and the website Urban Original).

The few times I do wear heels…well, there’s something about them. I usually tower over everyone (one of the few reasons why I don’t wear them), but the way you have to walk in them and stand…it commands confidence. It’s hard not to feel sexy or strong or womanly (unless they are super-uncomfortable). I don’t think I’ll be filling my closet anytime soon. But a killer pair wouldn’t hurt…and all of the shoes I liked from here were very much in my price range.
