Food, Flowers, & Fun

Happy, happy Monday to you all! This is the first Monday I haven't had to wake up at 6 am in quite some time, and I can't complain. Friday was my last day of work, & though I'm sad I won't get to see all the kiddos anymore, I'm quite happy to have some time to relax. In just a few days I head back to school, so it's nice to have a few days off before then. I spent a lot of this weekend catching up on sleep, eating good food, and fighting off some sort of cold/allergy thing that's going on in my nose. So fun.

To celebrate work being over/summer/I was just thirsty, Amanda and I got slushies. Contrary to what it says, it only cost 52 cents. I opted for a cherry/coke combo.

I can't resist taking pictures of flowers. It's just in my nature. ;)

My mom actually had a Saturday off from work! So we spent some of the day shopping, and eating at Tubby's. I love, love their crab stew.

A lovely pond/fountain filled with fishies that I saw while we were out shopping.

First fresh corn of the summer season. My mom and I were seriously questioning ourselves because we haven't been eating it all summer long.

Last night my dad took me to Leoci's for dinner before I head back to school. I had spaghetti & meatballs and it was delicious.

My outfit for dinner! Of course, I managed to spill sauce on the single white strip of fabric on my new shirt. Geeze.

I hope you had a wonderful weekend!

Well, another exhausting week has passed! I've just been staring at my calendar the past couple days wondering where summer went. It seems like it's flown by! I do have about 2 weeks left though, so I'll be sure to enjoy it while it lasts. Here are a few snapshots from the past couple weeks for you to feast your eyes upon. I hope you have an absolutely wonderful weekend!

Waiting for Amanda to finish in the dressing room at Urban Outfitters. Fun fact: 10 minutes later we were drenched from head to toe by the rain.

Did a bit of Alpha Gam crafting for my future little!

Anna finally returned from studying abroad all Summer. We went to the Macaroni Grill with her mom & dad and I drew her on the table. 'Twas a lovely time.

I took a moment to stop and smell the Cone Flowers at work. Such pretty little things they are!

Although her stay was short, it was great to be reunited with one of my best friends.

Did a bit of monkeying around at work! Haaaaa. (So sorry.)

My first throwback on Instagram, such a momentous occasion. Many family photos were taken in that Sunflower field. I miss it!

A future DIY project! I was too excited not to go ahead and share it.

Happy Friday everyone! I hope you've all had a lovely week, but geeze... I'm so happy it's the weekend. It's been a week full of lots of screaming children and therefore a whole lot of naps, and honestly it's been a bit of a blur. I have taken pictures, and I'm still keeping up with my project (here), so there are a few little bits and pieces I can remember. Thank goodness for Instagram.

A little collage from a Braves game that was so hot, but so fun. Check out more pictures here!

I found these awesome plastic bubbles at the Dollar Store and went a little crazy.

Hershey looking very profound & patriotic for the Fourth of July.

The lighthouse was looking very patriotic, too.

You've gotta love a pool day... until the children take over. That's the cue to get the heck out of there.

Took a pit stop at the neighborhood dock on one of my bike rides just in time for the sunset. I don't think I'll ever get tired of that place.

Puppies really do make the best pillows.

The Crepe Myrtles are in full bloom and it makes me so, so happy. Flowers everywhere.

I hope you have a fantastic weekend. Any plans?

Photo Friday

Instead of sharing some of my own photos this Friday, I thought I'd show you guys a few that have been inspiring me lately. I spend a lot of time on my computer and look through a lot of random websites, so I often come across something that I love.

I found this picture here on Pinterest a while ago and fell in love. I love the color & I adore peonies. This is currently my phone background, and it makes me so very happy.

Last semester I took a film director course about Hitchcock, and Rear Window became one of my favorite movies out of the bunch. I'm a sucker for anything behind the scenes, so when I saw it in this Buzzfeed article, I had to save it.

I never ever get tired of seeing Eiffel Tower pictures. I came across this website that posts about Paris every single day, so now I can feed my addiction daily.

Jenna Fischer retweeted this picture and it just about broke my heart. Yesterday I watched this video which is an hour and 45 minutes of The Office bloopers. An hour and 45 minutes... worth it, but what is my life.

I guess this isn't exactly a photo, and I'm sure you've seen this quote way too much, but I love it. I think I'm a pretty patient person but sometimes it's hard to imagine your hard work paying off. This is a nice reminder. If you are a bit of a quote junkie like me, here is a site you will love.

This is by far my favorite picture I've seen all week. I just about lost it when Taylor & Ed tweeted about the new video release. It is too, too cute. I saw this photo on Instagram, and this fan site. You can also watch the new video of Everything Has Changed here (I highly recommend you do).

That is all for this Photo Friday. I hope you all have an absolutely wonderful weekend!
