summer time and the living is...

...busy? not exactly how the song tells it, but it rings true in this house! we find our own ways to keep (relatively) sane, though.

why so serious?

lately, it seems as though all we do is go to chug coffee, work, sleep, repeat. argh. that's why i cherish those rare days we both have off and do things such as...

go to asheville for some vegan food...

grab some sun at the lake...

...and spend a lot of time with this little guy :)

which reminds me! we did get ourselves a tiny little buddy, named rang dipkin. it's safe to say he is one of the most spoiled hamsters in the world. we adore him. 

in other news, summer school starts back up in july (boo), followed by the fall semester in august (bigger boo). it feels like i'm in a perpetual loop of school. but i need to keep trekking...i can almost see the light at the end of the tunnel. it's very small, but it's there! 

that's all for now, folks! 

here lately

I wish I could come up with a more creative title for this post, but I feel so completely brain dead that this was all I could muster. School is a chore, and that's putting it lightly. I cannot, and let me repeat, CANNOT, wait until finals are finished next week. Then, sweet freedom! At least until summer session starts 6 days later (heavy, heavy sigh insert here). Anywho! To get a glimpse of life around here lately...

 

          sandwich time at 12:30 AM                   I love my new Hunters!                                                                                               

                homemade Goji tea                             perusing the paper

            a very vegan pizza                    homemade card for my darling Katie

                using your resources                              retail covert ops

Et toi? What's happening with you guys?

Stay tuned!

gratitude

lately, it seems like I've gotten lost in the insane hustle and bustle that comes with the end of a semester. one of the negatives that comes with this chaos (among so, so many) is overlooking the good things that happen each day.

simple, no? as simple as it may be to be thankful for each day, it's easy to neglect. whether it be because we are too busy, too stressed, or too grumpy, I think we all need to stop and be grateful for each day. 

and I'm thankful for you, readers!

life lately, according to my iPhone pictures.

"the little lady" and "drummer boy")

9) "don't you think daisies are the friendliest flower?" -do you know which movie this is from?

Happy Monday, everyone!

 

here we go again...

Oh, golly, lovelies. It has been far, far too long since we've spoken. I spare you the details of the absolutely crazy 6 months since I've logged on for your sanity, but I assure you it has been bonkers and beautiful.

Some changes for ya...

I went dark again!

Stood atop Mt. Mitchell...

...got a present...

...saw Nashville...

...had a holly jolly holiday...

...got some new hobbies...

...rang in the New Year...

...and read when I got the chance. 

Such a brief overview, so many details omitted, but I assure you, things have been swell, and I intend to keep life this way. 

Welcome back!
