A verrryyy long week at work calls for a hummus and wine dinner in bed with the real housewives on TV.

Gettin' wild over here!

the real 2012 USA Olympics uniform.

this is not a drill.

um wtf.

These hurt my heart.  They look like the worst kind of prep school douchebags, and then there’s a HAT.

Not only are they butt-ugly, but they are not even American-made but instead, made in China. Wouldn't that be the first priority for how to make the UNIFORMS THE US OLYMPICS ATHLETES WOULD WEAR TO REPRESENT THEIR COUNTRY IN THE OLYMPICS? Duh.

The Fun. Pandora station I have playing right now is making these last few hours at work a bit easier.

Holy sweaty ballz (gross?) it is hot out. I am dripping just waiting for the bus to work. On another note, today is FRIDAY! The Wednesday holiday sure made everything weird this week but it made the weekend come faster. What are you guys looking forward to this weekend? Any big plans?

I bought a bootcamp living social deal on a whim and then got a surprise e-mail that my first session is tomorrow. It starts at 6AM. Wish me luck.

Today has been a good day.

you guyyyyyssssss... I signed a lease on an apartment yesterday! While living with my dad has been delightful (see: free rent and groceries), I am excited to have my own place. I will be living with a friend from college, and the apartment basically has everything we need. I can't wait!

Sister sister at Chicago Pride!

Day 3 of going to work without a bra. (A bra hurts my tattoo, I swear I'm not trying to be scandalous.) Is this allowed in adulthood? I'm not sure, I'm new here.

Want to know what really grinds my gears?

When you unsubscribe from a mailing list AND THEN you get an e-mail confirming you've unsubscribed.

Family 5k at the Ricky Byrdsong Memorial Race. Happy father's day Dad!

[umexcusemerude]

Look what me and my siblings did today!

For the boy who lived.

Every time I walk past the flower shop on my way to get coffee I think it would be nice to live in there.

I wish. Waking up today was a mistake.

[umexcusemerude]

I wish. This is going to be a looong week.

Finally back in Chicago after a whirlwind couple of days. While the conference was inspiring and awesome, I am pooped and really wish I didn't have to go into work tomorrow.

In the summertime in Providence they light the river on fire on Saturdays. I am not exactly sure why, but it is soothing. Classical music is playing from speakers, a few food booths are set up in the street, and everyone sits around relaxing by the fire. Some people take gondolas down the river and someone passes out roses from the river.
