and the heat is on!

+ wildfox

there is a heat advisory in portland today. and it's supposed to be 100* tomorrow. well well...from 60* to 97*, summer in the NW has surely arrived, my people. i biked to work today (yes, on my must-do summer list, check please!) and a pleasant (not!) streak of sweat begin to develop under my bangs whilst i was wearing my helmet, peddling up this godforsaken demon of a hill, while trying to catch my breath and dodge oncoming cars. now, i probably don't smell my best and my sweatproof makeup is not so sweatproof anymore, but hey, there is practically no one in the building today and FINALLY, i can feel (hear?) the heat searing the sidewalk. but i digress- really, who wouldn't love to be lazily laying in a meadow with nothing to do but nap and drink bubbly (and in gorgeous white frocks)? that's what i call my reality.

and maybe i miss my blonde hair? (but that's a subject entirely of its own).

stay cool, friends!

it is also my beloved father's birthday and he is most dear to my heart.

3 years ago today, i was a week away from this place.

the best season of my life (thus far at least)

just plain, old, solid good times!
and where i fell in love, in more than one way ;)
one day, i WILL go back. no question.

xox,

i'm in a funkity funk.

it seems i can't get the gumption to write a new post.
im thinking this baby needs a face lift (the blog, not me).

all i want to do is board a plane
and get away.
somewhere sunny.

i promise to bring you something cheery and awesome later this week.
for now,
Happy Hump Day
{and Real World episode day} !

Love,

It's the start of the week...

...and I don't want to work.
But, what's new?
Coffee much needed.
Had a fabulous Christmas party with my best college buds last night.
Still a little fuzzy this am.

xox,
