Izzy the iPhone.

Lately, my phone has been doing this thing where when you take a pix to send via text, it automatically saves it to my phone, vs just keeping it in the text chain. It's high larry us to me the things I end up texting others. Enjoy.

Sneak peek.

I just KNOW you all have been dying to see and hear how my birthday went two weeks ago.  The emails have been pouring in about when I'll post pix, but until I get around to posting a real post about it (hopefully this week), here is a teeny tiny sneak peek!

I know I sound like a lunatic, but sometimes it's fun to pretend I have more followers than can fit on a full hand.  Well technically one full hand if person with said hand is occupied playing Thumb Wars.

Also, for no apparent reason, the last photo made me laugh out loud for appx 3 minutes straight.

Can you keep a secret?

I've worn a version of this outfit every. day. since Friday.



Are you also embarrassed because of how impressed you are? Don't go telling anyone though. I wouldn't want my secret to get out...like on the world wide web or anything.

Wait a minute..........!

Hope everyone has enjoyed their long weekend!!! Clearly mine has been jam packed if I've been able to be in the same gym clothes for 80% of it. I'm off to run in the pizark then to the gym for a quick sweat!

Hakuna Matata my friends.

Yogurt Twins.

Last Friday, Mary and I went to Yogurtland (yeah yeah, we went Thursday, too. Thanks for asking.) and apparently Yogurtland is the place to be on a Friday night because the line was redonkulous.





We were waiting in line when I hear Mary say "Awwww...I love her shoes!!!!....WAIT. BETH. I'm wearing her shoes!!!!" While I'm looking around trying to find who she is talking about, she finally directs me to said loved shoes.





Yes, that's right. My best friend who is twenty eight years young was wearing the same shoes, different color, as an eight year old.





At least she wasn't lusting after a 6 year old's strawberry patterned outfit, which may or may not have happened a few weeks earlier.

I think there are two lessons to be learned here:
{ 1 } We need to quit getting Fro Yo so much.
{ 2 } You are never to old to shop in the children's section.

Which side has greener grass??

When I was growing up, I remember multiple occasions where I’d be in my mom and dad’s room the night of Christmas, crying hysterically because I didn’t want the day to be over. Crying because I had had so much fun, and I wish I could wake up the next day and have it be Christmas again. I never wanted holidays to be over.

Secretly? It didn’t end when Santa stopped bringing me Barbie dolls.

I literally cannot believe that it is September 1st. The summer months have come and gone, school has started, everyone is planning/throwing the final parties of the summer.

Lately, I have been bitching SO MUCH about how hot it has been, and how much I’m longing for fall.. Probably too much. How I can’t wait to wear sweaters, scarves…jeans + boots. Cuddle up with blankets (namely my new most beautiful and favorite quilt ever!) How I can’t wait to feel the snow on my ankles after it sneaks in between my shoes and pants. To watch the fall leaves change. Make leaf angels. Make snow angels. This has been on my mine every morning, and every night. { It doesn’t help that my apt has such awful air circulation, and I sleep with a spray bottle in my hand to spritz myself all throughout the night to cool down. }

But, now that it’s September and fall is around the corner, the sad 5 year old with tears in her eyes is here, and longing for summer back.

Longing for Farmer’s Markets, laying in the park reading while soaking up sun. Longing for Jazz in the Park, patio BBQ’s and sunsets at 9pm. Longing for corn on the cob, pasta salads and strapless dresses.

How indecisive can a person be?! I mean really You don’t always have to want what you can’t have, Beth.

The lesson here is always listen to your mother. Whenever I say to my mom “Ugh I can’t wait this week to be over!!” or “The end of the month can’t come soon enough!” she always says to me “Beth, don’t wish your life away.” Which is so true. Like…really really true.

Damn my mother is smart.

Why should I be wishing away hot summer nights simply to drink a Pumpkin Spice latte while wearing a scarf? It’s pretty silly if you really think about it.

So. What I’m going to do is embrace the moment and embrace the day. Embrace the sweaty hot summer nights. Embrace patio parties with the best of friends.

I’ll wear a scarf when it’s appropriate, but until then maxi dresses it is.

Bye bye sad 5 year old. See you Christmas night.
