We made it through the first of 3 very busy weekends we have ahead of us. Saturday I ran a semi-miserable 5k (it. was. hot. and I was slow) with a group of pals and went out for a fun dinner afterward at Cafe Hollander. My beer came in this fancy glass, but it definitely rivaled Julie's glass (pictured in the background) as fanciest glass at the table.

Woops. I skipped a day. The Friday before the race/fancy beers, I had the day off work. It also happened to be that every one of my girl friends (except 1) also had the day off. A total coincidence that never happens, so we decided to take full advantage and planned a full day of activities. We started the day off having breakfast at Marigold Kitchen, then headed down to State Street Brats for the World Cup game (where this picture was taken), and finished the day off lounging at our pool. A fantastic summer day! It had that no worries, summer vacation from college type feel to it. Good to know that feeling can still exist being so far removed from that time in my life!

Diz, Andy, Charlie and Danny came up to visit on Saturday. We went to the farmer's market, had lunch, did a little shopping and had a Red Mango dessert. It was my first time at Red Mango and I wasn't quite sure what to expect. Upon first taste, I liked it....but then as I continued eating, I realized that I kind of loved it.

So here's the thing. I haven't been keeping up with the 52 project. It's done. I hate myself for not keeping up with it and not seeing it through to the end. But it ended up being something that I dreaded and felt annoyed that I had to do....and I really hate doing things I don't want to do. Other things I hate to do: get my oil changed, put laundry away, getting up in the morning.

I've found that this is the format I like best. One picture. A little caption. So I'm going to keep up with it.

...but maybe I'll at least finish the alphabet...just to make myself feel better.

Rachel is getting married in a couple months, so we did the wedding shower song and dance a couple weeks ago. It was good times - now that I live out of town, it is nice that we have these things to have an excuse to get together. We've missed Rach since she moved to Nashville too, so it was extra great seeing her!

What I really wish I had a picture of was this jello dish they served with lunch. Now, I am not a jello fan so I did not partake in consuming it, but it was impressive. layers and layers of every color/flavor jello that exists. It was a sight to be seen.
