this long weekend was pretty fantastic. i love weekends. i love holidays. i love my friends and i love america. here's a quick recap:

1. had a fun sleepover in south carolina with bestie sarah. we shopped, ate lots of junk food, drank starbucks, played with the puppies and watched not one, but two cheesy chick flicks including monte carlo starring selena gomez, which was very entertaining.

2. picked out this pattern for an upcoming sewing project with my mom. i plan to make it with stripes to emulate this outfit. i'm so excited.

3. drank more starbucks. i'm currently on an iced-coffee-with-a-splash-of-soymilk-and-one-splenda kick. cheaper than an iced soy latte (by more than $2) and possibly more delicious.

4. crafted up a new banner for my bookshelf. it's not quite complete, but photos to come soon.

5. sent my parents off on their 30th anniversary trip to switzerland. to say i am jealous is an understatement.

6. watched the justin bieber movie with my friend mary. i may have been a skeptic, but it was pretty excellent. and he's pretty precious.

7. spent the day at little badin lake with friends. i played on the boat, ate two hot dogs, went tubing, tried to water ski, snuggled with baby elliot and enjoyed my role as the ninth wheel in a sea of married and engaged couples.

8. nearly wrecked my car on the way to the lake when i saw a three-hundred pound (easy) black man riding a motorbike completely and totally naked in broad daylight. this happened.

9. ate a loooot of watermelon and rice krispie treats.

10. took two naps on monday.

11. watched and enjoyed a capitol fourth on pbs while it rained outside and dreamed about a future move to dc and my future husband, josh groban, who performed three songs on the show. if you didn't already know, i. love. him. i may have joined twitter for the most part so that i could follow him.

12. enjoyed the fourth of july 30% off discount at the goodwill. cheap becomes cheaper. holler.
