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...

Red = Passion

Yesterday, I had a shit-eating grin as I was winding through local streets, pedaling and feeling the warm breeze in my hair. I recently, in the last month, moved to the DC area and have been struggling to fit in and find my place. This month, Ty and I got our own room in a place that we share with a few others that are our roommates in our new town. But there are still so many things that are missing in my life. I need yoga, rock climbing and freedom to get around on my own. On Tuesday afternoon, I took that first step at transportation freedom in the form of a two wheeled vehicle. I took the metro to Virginia which is a bit of a ride from my new home on the Maryland side. I stopped at one of the last metro stops and walked out into the sunny, nice weather. I was meeting someone from craigslist who was selling a little, red Schwinn bike. I exited the station and immediately saw the little red bike being held up by a sweet looking, older man. I introduced myself, took the bike for a...

To Brittian and Back

Today Amber, Dana and I woke up early to go on an adventure. 6:23 to be exact. How I know that is because Ty had to call me to wake Dana and I up from our very deep slumber. I sprung awake and got ready in record time to try to help Ty jump his car. Only it didn't work so we had to wake up my roommate to drive us all. The three ladies convened at the dock where our boat trip would leave. We were all a little tired but mostly excited for our long overdue adventure and being tourists for the day. We started our tip with about an hour long boat ride to Virgin Gorda, British Virgin Islands (BVI), the three of us talking about anything and everything that came to mind. Once we got to Virgin Gorda, everyone on the trip took a taxi over to the baths. The baths (BVI) are a geologic structure in which volcanic rock is pushed up near the water to create tunnels, pools, arches and grottoes. There are only two baths in the world, one being in the BVI, so it was super cool that we got to go...

Best Friends

I swear that I have the best friends on the planet and I know everyone is jealous. But Ill share them! Last night I went to Milwaukee to see a friends band play on Water St. It took a lot of energy to leave the house. Oh, how I wanted an early evening and to cuddle up in bed with a good book. We all know that those end up being the best nights out, when it was hard to get out in the first place! There ended up being a huge group of us. Ive always wanted a large group of friends and now Ive got it. And even more friends around the world. I can't believe how awesome that is and how awesome they all are! Anyway... We pretty much took over the dance floor with our crazy moves. It was so fun! I got a text from my mom saying that I should just stay in Milwaukee considering the bad roads after the first snowfall. I didn't argue. On the hike back to the apartment after the show, there was snow everywhere and it was cooold. Thank goodness my friends are so great and threw snowba...
