Elastic Band Pants

Today after work, we all decided to keep working, cause why not?

We had a mission to get crazy clothes for the Lorax skit we put on for some of the kids who come through camp. We went to a thrift store and found some gems.

The high-waisted, elastic-banded, stretchy pants that we found at this thrift store, with the the silky, disgustingly patterned fabric were perfect. These pants were so hideous that all of the middle school kids are going to be fighting over them (not to mention the well dressed naturalists). We also found some other classic items including a wonderful, dragon, clip-on tie and a stylish shiny vest.

Its fun to go into a thrift store and just single out all the most disgusting, ugly pieces of clothing that you can find. "This is hideous! ...perfect"

After the thrift store, we all had our hearts set on ice cream but got distracted by all the cute little shops that we were passing. An italian bakery, an old-timey candy store, a toy store that was full of classics and many, many breakable things, and a produce store with SO MANY plastic bags that I was having an anxiety attack and had to leave.

Finally, we made our way to Rita'
s (which is also in PA [found them in CA]?! SO delicious!!) where we all got our own perfect mix of gelato and italian ice. Whomever came up with that mixture is a genius because it is like heaven in your mouth. Mmmmm...

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 ...

Just a little update on whats going on here and then Im hoping tomorrow Ill be able to write a blog about how awesome my cousins wedding was this past weekend! So, Im currently in Philly working where I was this Spring at College Settlements. I love my coworkers and I love where Im at. I feel comfortable and happy at work, now only if I was closer to the city for my social life... I have to brag about my dude who just started a new job in DC as the captain of an education vessel. He's adulting so hard and Im so proud. Makes me want to step up my game and start semi-adulting. I want to get a job there after this job is over for the fall. So, If you've got any leads... This summer/Fall have been a bit insane, in a good way.  I sp...

Eating Like Crap is Crap

Im trying really hard not to spend money on food as there is so much food here at camp. Its not horrible food but its definitely not the best. So, with me trying not to spend money on food, I haven't been eating the greatest. I don't know if its because of other reasons, but Ive been feeling like shit lately and Im attributing it to lack of nutrients. I dont know how people eat crap all the time and survive. It must be a skill. I was eating alright about two weeks ago but this last week it hasn't been very pretty. Ive been a scavenger and theres been a lot of bread and fake meat and here is how I feel: Im tired ALL the time. No matter how many naps I take or hours I sleep a night, Im always exhausted by mid-day and just want to lay around, sleep and do nothing. Ive also been starting to get weak headaches throughout the day. Or having sore muscles from doing minimal exercise. That also makes me just want to do nothing. My stomach is also crazy. It hurts if I eat som...
