Epic Summerfest Night

So My last day at summerfest started with me really not wanting to go. I wanted to see the bands but I was having a lame day, focused on writing a cover letter and being tired.
But the fest waits for no one and Sarah was meeting me there!

I got to summerfest and noticed that it wasn't too busy like last weekend, plus number one.
I walked over to Big Data who were pretty cool. They had some good energy on stage and the music was danceable! Then as I was sitting listening to Big Data, I got completely taken out on my left side.  It was so fast that I didn't even see it coming and then I look in the direction of the impact and notice a smiling brown haired girl. SARAH!! I was so happy to see this crazy lady!

And this is why I missed her. First, she made me get my face painted, which I wasn't too upset about cause I love stuff like that. So we had awesome neon, tribal paint on our faces. Then, we are over at the small KNE stage listening to a local band when Sarah suggests going on the ferris wheel. Im very hesitant since its a bit of money and seems kinda lame but she's practically begging me to go, so I give in. We wait in a looooong line and end up in the same cart thing as two little girls who were super sweet. Once we got to the top of the ferris wheel, we looked around and saw a TON of fireworks from all the surrounding towns! There were at least ten different sets of 'works that we saw and it was super cool! It was money well spent!

After the ferris wheel, it was time for me to go to Robert Delong. Sarah and her friends stopped by for a bit before checking out some other acts but I was more than happy enjoying the concert alone. The atmosphere there was pretty chill (except for the group of teens who were going crazy in the corner) and it wasn't too packed, I got up pretty close in the standing room. At one point during the concert, some girl walked up to me and offered me a glowstick. I offered her my arm and she put it on. I said thank you and continued to dance.

Also the music was INSANE. In a good way. He was a DJ but was super creative about it. It was just him and he played the drums, keyboard, multiple synths and sang. He used a joystick, x-box controller and wii controller to make different noises, it was so interesting! I couldn't stop myself from dancing because the music just got inside my body. The rhythm and bass just snuck into your soul! I couldn't help but have a grin on my face for the whole concert as I watched him and looked around at all the other painted faces moving in the crowd. Ive never done drugs and after this concert, I don't understand why you would ever want to. I was so high on life and happy that I didn't need them.

I left that concert so jazzed that I rode my bike so fast over to the apartment where people were hanging out. I walked in, sweaty from the bike, with my face painted and a glowstick and yelled "The party is here!" To which my friends just said "heeeeeeey!" with hugs. The fact that I looked like I had just came from a rave or something didn't even phase them. This is why I love my friends.

"Meghan, it seems as if you got a little something on your face..."

The Cake Fairy

Today was a pretty standard weekend here in PA. I dont do much but hope that its nice out so I can go for a walk and explore on my own, but the sun didnt come shining through my window this morning to wake me up. I slept in. After a few hours of lounging around watching youtube videos about history, I asked Cassie if she wanted to explore the town. We decided to take a visit to a local winery/brewery, Stone & Key Cellars, to do some tastings. They had quite the spread of things to taste and we were overwhelmed! Fruit wines and your typical whites and reds, cider and mede! I started out with some of the red fruit wines and Cassie with the white fruits. They were all a bit sweet for me so I moved right into the bold reds. We got four tastings each and shared our tastes but also, the bartender was super cool and gave us more tastings of whatever he wanted! He was talking to us about the local area and what breweries to check out next in our exploration of Pennsylvania. Going to ...

Quarantine Day: 6+?

This morning I woke up before the sun and taught some kiddos English. I had all my favorite students today which makes getting up early worth it. Then I had my morning computer time and went on a deep dive into this Facebook group called "House Plant Hobbyist". Its seriously the best group on FB ever. Lots of people post about plants, literally anything about plants and everyone in the group is so supportive and positive. I love it. It makes me happy. I probably spent about 45 minutes just looking at plants and posting suggestions and comments... Yoga time was next. I wanted to get out before the sun took up the backyard space. Theres a nice concrete patch thats perfect for my mat. It was in the shade for my whole practice! I did a long and slow flow and felt super calm and connected after. Not to mention all the great music that they play through that app (Down dog). Its a free membership until May for anyone interested! Ty and our roommate decided they needed to get s...

St. John, A Beautiful Adventure

My time off from work has been awesome so far! I love not working. haha. Monday, Amber, Darren, a friend Johnny and I went on a boat adventure over to St. John. It was a small boat just a bit larger than the size of a dingy but it worked! The ride over was bumpy and rough. My butt still hurts a few days later but we got to see St. John from the water and a brown booby (bird) flew with us for awhile which was awesome. Then we found a beautiful cove with a tiny beach and pristine blue water. We pulled the boat in and set the anchor but decided to pull in a little closer, when "well thats odd" came out of our captains mouth. I decided not to worry. Amber and I jumped into the blue water to explore. We got stung by a few things in the water so then got out and tried to track down the goats that were yelling like humans in the mangroves. At one point I was talking to one of the goats that was just out of eyesight. It was hilarious. Then we heard the sound of the engine startin...
