Oktoberfest

We rode our beach cruisers through the city to partake in the Shirlington Oktoberfest! Thank god we got there early because by the time we left it was a mad house and most of the tasting kegs were kicked. We sampled about 5 each or so and then sat in the warm sun and had a great afternoon. We then biked to Crystal City and then home... I was literally dying. Beach Cruisers uphill aren't awesome. Beach cruisers on the beach are really awesome :) But, it was a great afternoon and we crashed hard that night. (oh and I literally fell off my bike, it was hilarious! I haven't done that since a kid and falling off a bike really puts you back into place, so funny!)

Happy Monday, Fools! We are sleeping all week until we get up and go to AUSTIN on Friday! YIPPEEEEE!

As most of you know I have been dealing with a stupid stomach issue that has put me in the hospital a few times and really messes up happiness and my social life! Well, I finally was approved to start a therapy where I get infusions. The infusions are of medicine that infuses my entire bloodstream and it takes about 3 hours a sitting, in which eventually I'll slow it down to about one three hour session every eight weeks (forever). Thing is... I FEEL AMAZING! I feel like a lucky girl!

Here's a small picture of me and my new favorite chair! Anyone have any good books to recommend?

I love how people say, 

"people can't drive when it rains here"

That's everywhere, people. I was on a conference call with like 40 people from 40 different places in the United States and everyone answered with, "here too". 

let's embrace that it sucks driving when it rains and it's a national problem and not just where YOU live. 

ok, I'm going to sit back and do my work now and quit thinking about my commute home. 

however, I'll be listening to Florence and the Machine's song, "Dog Days Are Over". I'm in LOVE with it.

Listen.

I am obsessed with San Francisco jewelry designer Jan Michaels. I bought this ring below in onxy and gold... it's huge, its awesome and I have gotten countless amounts of compliments on it. Do I ever buy simple understated jewelry? No. I have the most perfect engagement ring that defines exactly that. Why would I want to compete? So, I buy large, statement, obnoxious jewelry that could honestly be used as weapons if need be. :)

I right now have an obsession with rings and shoes. I'm in trouble.

I went to a FREE music festival! 

Like, for real... FREE! I love Richard Branson and his Virgin FreeFests! 

My favorite act was Temper Trap, they were/are amazing. Ed Sharpe put on a much better show than he did at 930 a couple months ago. As always here are some pictures from my great Saturday afternoon. :) We can't wait for Austin City Limits!

and this is my favorite picture with my favorite person. a perfect afternoon.

Dear Tom Brady, 

This is you hot... 

this is you very UN-HOT. Cut your hair. 

Love, Carrie

(just noticed detail... does he really have a tat of pee-wee herman on his arm? can I write two letters to him back to back? holy crap.)
