There is too much to do...

I'm under the weather and my car is leaking power steering fluid and men are crazy and laundry needs to get done. So, have a look at what's been happening the past few weeks.

Summer Activities

Busy busy these past weeks- work aside, I've hardly been home for days. This last week saw some rock-climbing, a birthday picnic and some Halloween costume shopping. This week sees me tired and broke from all the recent fun times. But I've got some fun costume bits posted out to me so there will be a Halloween edition of ReVamp coming up shortly...

 The picnic was all ice cream truck snacks and bocci and barely cooked tri-tip and cute hipster boys.

 I wore my milkmaid dress simply because it is one of only a few outfits I have that can work in the heat. It's sleeveless and thin cotton and isn't super tight all of which help when it's toasty out.

My standard outfit lately- shorts and tanks. Stylish...

The roommate and I went rock climbing for the first time yesterday. It was my idea and I somehow forgot that I'm afraid of heights. Well, I remembered once I got about halfway up the wall and froze like a popscicle. After that, I stuck to the little 8 foot bouldering walls. CJ did brilliantly- she turned into a little spider monkey. Crippling fear and ruined nails aside, I have a blast and will be trying my hand at the big wall again soon.

This Summer and Then Some...

Home Decor and Playing Catch Up

 The house is coming along- starting to feel more like a home. I've been hitting thrift stores like a mad woman and found some cool things like this vintage globe. 

 CJ's mom got us some ikea stuffs and now our books and records finally have a home. On the left- a washboard for our Southern themed housewarming party and a cardboard cutout of Colonel Sanders that CJ made.

 I finally got my needlepoint framed and hung.

 And the kitchen is now being watched over by the last supper. I've had that painting for 5 years- we found it hung up in my first apartment and it's had a place in every one since.

And our couch finally arrived! I was worried that it wouldn't get here in time to be Miss Eka's temporary bed. But it came in last week and she got into town yesterday so all is well.

A Different Kind of Outfit Post

Last night- 
we decided to head to El Dorado for some 60's music and pool. Friends came over, admired our shiny wood floors and drank a lot of peach champagne first. It was a great time- we have fantastic friends. The only downside was we didn't decide to take an photos until we got back home and changed into pajamas. So here are some odd roommate photos featuring booty shorts and full-doll hair and make-up.

Happy, Happy, Happy: Year 2

Wow, has it really been an entire year since my last End o' the Year Wrap-Up post?

Those 12 months absolutely flew by.

Well, here are the holiday highlights.

 

I had a fantastic NYE with CJ, Eeks, My Vintage Twin and The New Boy. Full of good beer, wonderful bartenders and awfulbad old movies. And it was nice to have a New Years kiss again...

Happy New Years, O Digital World!
