Bu-ut oh! Oh, Those Summer Nights

[JodieO]

Is that why he's all hunched over? For the shame of his useless belt?

If I had to hazard a guess, I'd say that is his "Oh shit, I'm walking with a chick who's shirt is transparent when the flashes go off. I really didn't want the papz to be here. Maybe if I hunch down while wearing 35 layers of clothes, a hat and a hood, (in July no less ) they won't recognize me. I'm in ninja mode." He's clearly not the most ninja of ninjas.

Isn't he used to walking next to women in see-through clothes by now?

This one actually had something to see through her tranparent shirt, if you know what I mean.

I know these are papz pics, but . . . buttonflies!!!!!!!!!!

And how can he wear all those layers in LA in the summer? Leather jacket over a hoodie????

I saw that this morning and I might have been way more excited than was warranted.

LS --- READ ME!!!!!!!

I found a book you must read. MUST. It is in the same vein as Jen Lancaster and I was reading it on the plane today and was giggling like a fool. The name is: Let's Pretend This Never Happened: A Mostly True Memoir by Jenny Lawson.

ETA that I am only like, 4 chapters in and I am making this declaration, so you know it is hilarious.

Made it to Pittsburgh. The woman I am traveling with is SO ANNOYING. It is 10:30 PM on Day 1 and I am already considering tossing her into the river.

Serenity now. Serenity. Now.

Amy --- how was your MN weekend?

I am on it I keep seeing that one everywhere, I'm glad you recommended it!

Cheers to you being in Pittsburg. Try not to eat salads with fries or throw your travel companion in the river. But if you do either, I'll understand and forgive. Because, you always recommend the best, most humorous books to me.

I love that you accept me just as I am...even though I may or may not be a river murderer.

Hey, who am I to judge? Just this weekend, I had the urge to stab people at the state fair with a variety of foods on sticks. We all got to do what we got to do.

I have no clue.

Why do you guys insist on keeping me up so late?! I really need to get some sleep tonight...

[Gianna]

That kitty is totally me! I am screwed up on time because of the time change. It clearly doesn't take much of a change to mess me up. I am a delicate flower.

I always do better with the time change when I head west. Heading east always makes me tired.

oh, Miss Gia, when you get a minute I emailed you my resume (again) to look at.

What do we think of this hair cut?

[lori_seals]

What do we think of this hair cut?

I like it but is it as easy to do as it looks?

It's probably similar prep to what I'm doing now, but maybe a little less... It's a couple inches shorter than what I have now and all those layers would lighten it up considerably.

Go for it.

[Alexandra]

What do we think of this hair cut?

I think it is cute, but I have the same "Is it going to be a pain in the ass to get it to look that way every day?" concerns that Lori had. My own personal experience with layers is that I'm too lazy to be bothered to get it to look nice on a regular basis.

I put this book on hold at the library. *patiently waits*

[amynkansas]

What do we think of this hair cut?

I think it's really cute. seems like it would be easy enough with a straightener. DO IT.

do before and after photos! because those are just fun!

[amynkansas]

my trip to MN was super fun!!!

when we were in the middle of Iowa (aka Gia Country) we hit some terrible weather...but after it stopped THIS happened.


Then when we got to MN...this happened...


Then this....


Then a bit of this....


Then this....


Then this (I had never heard of a Shot Ski before this)

[amynkansas]

but the cool part (aside from the fun people we were with) was the fact that we all hung out in their lake house which was very close to being one of those HGTV Dream Homes.

This was part of the downstairs...


And they let me drive their boat!!! (I didn't drink prior to driving it)



It was super cold but one of the days they built a fire and we ate, drank and played board games.
We have been invited to come back in the winter and go snowmobiling (which sounds fun but scary).
