This week my main blogging goal is to finally finish my 30 for 30 Summer Challenge posts. It’s getting ridiculous now, I finished the challenge over the summer and here it is fall now and I still don’t have them all up. So consider my posting schedule out the window until I get this done, fo’ real.
Everyone have a fun week!
I’ve been sitting here for the past five minutes trying to think about what to write for this post. Even worse the best title I could come up with for the post is Pinkadots. Hmmmm.
Not much happened on day 23. It rained. After taking these pictures I went to the gym and used the stepmill (which by the way totally sucks but does the job). Thrilling.
Only seven more of these 30 for 30 challenge posts to go!
Does this outfit look remotely familiar? Take this one… chop off the pants at the knees and voila! There you go. Creative, huh?
For the record, beloved Mavi jeans were not harmed in the making of this post. In case you were worried. Don’t want anyone losing any sleep.
This is what I wore for the July Fourth holiday. We spent the holiday in the neighborhood with our friends at the local beer garden. The weather was gorgeous, though a little hot. From around 4 pm through after 10 pm, we enjoyed the beautiful weather, beers, food and good company. It was a perfect way to spend a summer holiday.
Knowing I was going to be outside in the sun all day, I broke this hat out of storage. I’m not one to usually wear hats but if I know I’m going to be in the sun all day I usually will. Especially at the beach, which I had gone to the day prior.
What did you do for the July Fourth holiday?
Holiday weekends I always forget to get photos. I’m too damn busy. I’ll have my camera with me but I’ll never take it out of my bag.
This was last Sunday during 4th of July weekend. My husband and I met up with my best friend and her boyfriend for a few cocktails. On our walk home, I remembered I forgot to get my photos, and my husband happily stepped in to take a few for me.
It’s really funny to me how different it is taking photos in front of him instead of a tripod. I make really silly, goofy smiley faces when he takes my photos. They’re 100% genuine, but goofy nonetheless. He makes me kinda self concious in a cute girly way. Which is weird for me because there’s nothing about me that’s normally cute and girly. Ask any of my friends, they’d tell you I’d probably punch you in the face if you called me that.
Oh, and how awesome are these shorts! I found them at the Market Publique loft sale here in Williamsburg back several months ago. They were actually unfinished. They were much longer and not hemmed. I had them altered and now totally love them. I can’t believe I forgot I had them in my 30 challenge items until day 19. You’ll probably be seeing these shorts a lot in the final 10 days of the challenge so I can make up for my forgetfulness.
I noticed while putting this post together that all of a sudden, the tree is gone. This spot is my go to spot for quick photos, and there was always a tree in the background. Now there’s just a stub.
I asked my husband about it and he said some city sanitation workers had come by earlier in the week and they took it down, citing something about it being dead and “about to fall and kill someone”. Guess it was a zombie tree. Jokes aside, I was tremendously sad by this because just the week prior, I had spotted a nest full of baby birds inside a hole in the tree. All I can think about now is if those baby birds are okay and if the sanitation workers even noticed they were in there. My husband being the sweetheart he is tried to assure me the mother bird probably took her babies to safety, but I don’t know.
Sad.
