rainy day weekend project when i have nothing going on... tissue paper wall flowers!

that won't be til after the wedding and well into Summer. 

Time is just passing much too quickly for my liking.

LOOK AT THESE CUTE LITTLE TREATS!

Thank you, Carly for my new little friends. :) They put a smile on my face and are so adorable and DELICIOUS! 

I ate the elephant first and Scottie had the tiger. 

YOU ARE THE BEST! 

The card that was in these little treats said that these are my new friends to talk to because I work from home. Does anyone else out there work from home? I don't love it. Moving to a new city and working from home might be the worst! You feel so disconnected, you're alone all day and you just don't get to talk to anyone besides people on the phone that you deal with for your job. I'm getting more and more used to it, however. There are SOME benefits such as you don't have to get dressed for work. 

You can wake up at 8:59 and be working at 9:00am.

I'm just a social bee and love being around people so its certainly been an adjustment. I find myself walking outside and saying "hi" to everyone in an excited voice like a psycho since I'm having some face to face interaction. 

Yes, I know I'm weird.

Its FRIDAY! I'm heading south tonight and am excited to see friends and family! :)

It's snowing here. Isn't it spring? 

This weather is so crazy!

I'm heading home (to Virginia) on Friday for my bridal shower on Saturday afternoon. I am REALLY excited! Its a tea party theme and I want to find the PERFECT dress. I wanted a Carrie Bradshaw'esque dress but that is proving to be a little difficult.  I will find something perfect and share with yall next week. As of now though, aren't the invitations my sister sent out the cutest? She did such a good job. 

The night that I get in from taking the train down from Philly to DC I am heading to TWO shows and couldn't be more excited. Seeing the Cults at the Rock and Roll Hotel and then heading to Black Cat to see Joy Formidable which should be SWEET! I'm actually really excited for these shows. Ive been pretty bored with music as of late as nothing has peaked my interest. These two bands are actually pretty awesome and I'm looking forward to seeing them live!

Another great band that I'm currently listening to is GroupLove. Check em out.

Well there you go with your Thursday music wrap up.

So this past weekend Scottie and I ventured out on a very sunny Saturday to the Magic Gardens in Center City in Philly. We had walked by it before but haven't explored it yet, so Saturday was the DAY! You can read more in depth about the artist here. But, basically he's a master a mosaics and awesomeness. 

(such a good Carrie description, huh?) 

Here are some photos: 

This one wasn't in the Magic Garden... it was written on the wall at Penns Landing and I thought it was hilarious. Nothing like a random polling between which is better.

This week has been lots of gym trips and praying that we don't get too much snow this week! SPRING! Im WARNING YOU! SHOW UP!

REASON TO SHOP

Open Letter To Philadelphia, 

Why is there trash everywhere? You have beautiful landscapes and amazing buildings and architecture so why litter it so badly with enormous amounts of trash on every corner? I live in Northern Liberties and there aren't even trash cans outside. I realize there are budget issues and things such as that, but I would think that city beautification would be important and not to mention healthier. I see people throw large amounts of trash outside their car window. I see people just put trash outside on the corner and its stays there for weeks. 

WHAT THE HELL? 

Frankly, its disgusting. I just moved here and am just shocked about how normal this is for you. Trash just blowing in the wind may have been "beautiful" for that kid on American Beauty but not so much when its blowing in your face daily. 

Love, Me.

HAPPY MARCH MADNESS/ ST. PATTIES DAY! 

More excited about MM though. Its the only time I'll really get into basketball. 

I hope my bracket beats yours, KIRBS!

Day 28: I'm thankful for travel sites and travel books because I look at them constantly. The world is amazing and I want to see more.


Day 29: I'm thankful for grandfathers because they are amazing and I hate how they are getting old. This is me with my bestie, Paps. He was a minor league pitcher, a TV repairman, one hell of a bowler and will still tease me til I want to slap him. :)
