actors can be singers too

harry connick jr as an actor? no thanks.

as a singer? yes please!

i owe it all to my roommate brooke for showing me this side of him.

check him out. this is another one of my favorites.

olympics, olympics, and more olympics.

i've been off twitter during the olympics, because i don't want to know the outcome of any events until i watch them in person. but here is what i would have tweeted so far:

- my thoughts are now being narrated in dan hicks' voice.

- dreamed about michael phelps last night. and the night before.

- i think my best shot at qualifying for Rio 2016 is rowing. i can be that short girl at the end of the boat who doesn't have to row.

- will and kate are LITERALLY the coolest people ever.

- can't believe 'douglas' is an anagram for 'usa gold.' mindblown.

- did you see sam kiss the vault? wish i was that vault. i will marry sam mikulak AND jake dalton.

night

there are few things i like better than a summer night. tonight the air was such a temperature that you couldn't actually feel it on your skin, and the comforting (and loud) sound of crickets chirping away was the soundtrack. living in the moment isn't easy, but it all of a sudden becomes natural when you're looking up at a black sky, barefoot in the grass. it doesn't get too much better...

walden is my favorite filter

from a day trip to logan//a ticket from 2008 and one from 2012

kirsten loves chinese food//my bag = hermione's bag

at work after a much needed hair trim//peach (favorite fruit!) season is nearly here

my whole week is summed up in these words:

sleep in.

work.

eat.

olympics.

friday night lights.

bed.

even though there has been minimal physical activity, the emotional activity has been off the charts.

olympics AND friday night lights at the same time?

geez people. waterworks over here.

life's about to get real busy, so i'm ok with this.

enjoying my last weeks of pure relaxation.

brownies and more

i saw a cute couple at walmart today buying kitty litter.

warmed my heart. yay for cat people!

have you ever tried to drink the daily recommended amount of water?

i know it's good for me but it's hard work.

the title of my week is "1000 trips to the loo."

and you probably couldn't be in the olympics if...

that brownie pan you just lifted out of the oven felt a little heavy.

and by you i mean me.

the white house

this is the ooold house i'm living in this school year. excited to go back to p-town with my gals. excited to actually be in my major and not taking ge classes anymore.

but summer's not over yet. i'm going to enjoy my last month of sleeping in, working (and not being in school at the same time), watching olympics and friday night lights episodes until the wee hours, mama's cooking, having a car, and being so lazy all the time.

bf is my bf

can't wait for the new album to come out.

you know who else is my bf?

david beckham in a suit driving a speedboat.

that opening ceremony was awesome.

i'm so glad the olympics are finally here.

i will be watching all the sports every day.

makeover

if you are wondering how i'm spending my days over here,

the answer is painting.

i'm thinking about changing my major to stencil creation.

RDJ all day every day

my sister kaity sent this to me while i was at work today. bless her.

she knows what i like.

painting shirt

we're painting our playroom today.

this is my painting shirt:

let me tell you, there are a lot more embarrassing orchestra shirts where this came from.

oh, wes

take a few minutes and watch 10 commercials he directed.

the american express one is my favorite.

genius. i want to be him.

coconut macaroonskis

if you're obsessed with coconut like i am, these will be your favorite food.

i use this recipe, and i make them all the time.

they're good with chocolate and without chocolate.

make them, and you will be in love.

trying to draw with my eyes closed

and without picking up the pen.

it's what happens when i'm bored at work.

weekend update: my friday night lights marathon continues.

i'm starting to get a texas accent.
