Rambles...

i drove up to aaron's lake house in michigan sunday morning and spent all day laying in the sun, drinking beer, lounging on boats, jumping on water trampolines, grilling, partying on a sand bar, and watching fireworks from the water.
it was definitely one of the best 4th of july's i've ever had.
...
i'm currently surfing amazon for a few new dvds.
more specifically, dvds i can put on when it's storming out and i want to just be lazy/fall asleep.
top on the list: now and then.

I'm so excited! I'm so excited! I'm so... scared.

i bought this groupon today.

Flashback Friday

puffy paint
for as long as i can remember, my mom would buy plain white sweatshirts for all of us every 4th of july weekend. she'd lay them out on the bench on our back deck along with a buffet of neon puff paint. as an artistic child, she may as well have set up a sugar buffet - that's how freaking much i loved this tradition.
then our entire family (+ extended family) would wear our awesome coordinating sweatshirts while watching fireworks from our boat on lake geneva. i miss those days.
...wish i still had those sweet garments. or some photos.

Sunday (Monday) Night Confessional

today i wore my hair up.
& not just in a haphazard (read meticulously crafted) low-ish ponytail. up as in bangs out of my face, whispies flowing in the breeze, whipped into a messy bun "up."
okay so it took 10 minutes to make it cute enough for me to leave the house and face coworkers, but cut me a little slack - pr girls are tough critics. & i seriously have this really weird thing about wearing my hair in a "normal" ponytail. they're just not flattering.
but today i did it & i actually looked cute (this is not me being conceited or anything. this is based on having received "your hair looks cute like that!" complements) - and more importantly, i felt cute. i like to think this means i'm getting more confident with age.
speaking of, i'm old as shit.
i went out drinking friday evening (evening! not even night!) and got plenty of sleep, yet i've felt nauseous every day since. what gives?
i got super burnt at the pool yesterday.
& being the first time i've gotten any color this summer, i honestly couldn't be more excited about it. that is, until i got many a double-take today, along with a fair share of "oh noooooo, chloeeeeeee" comments. tanning fail.
that's all i've got.
peace!

Drinking Fail

yesterday marks the 2nd time i've gotten sick since moving back to chicago last may (the last time was in december). both times were a result of drinking heavily without having eaten dinner.
and then i got picked up by my parents. my life is awesome.

Slightly delayed, still totally worth posting.

taryn, taryn's little sis tracey, and i went to 6 flags tuesday after work.
totally normal.
let me also just say that upon mentioning this to a coworker, i got a grimace and an uncomfortable/confused "....why?" reaction.
ouch.
anyway, it was amazing.
we rode all of the greats - batmat, iron wolf, viper, superman - except for raging bull.
and surprise! the night ended with an unexpected "glow in the park" parade and a mr. six sighting! yesssss.
hope you had a 6 flags day!

Sunday Night Confessional

i haven't gotten any better at keeping in touch with friends, despite my "resolution" to do so.
i think i've actually gotten worse. :/
that being said, i really miss you guys!
& i can't can't can't wait for watercolor 3.0. lets please finalize plans immediately so i can buy my ticket before i think too much about how poor i am.
i feel like i've gained 438967 pounds in the past year.
i tried on a dress that fit perfectly last summer. it was..... snug. kanye's workout plan started today & will continue until i get skinny again.
taryn, jt, mike & i bought season passes to 6 flags in the fall (they were like $10 more than a normal ticket).
i hope the weather cooperates so we can enjoy "bring a friend for free" day on tuesday. :) :) :)

p.s.
happy father's day!
i hope you got the chance to call/hug/hang out with your wonderful dad today.

Let's Colour Project

i read about it here.
loved it enough to share.
how awesome is the let's colour project!?

A mission to spread colour all over the world. We are working together with local communities across the globe, rolling up our sleeves to paint streets, houses, schools and squares.

YESSSSS

by now everyone is aware of the super awesome - and awesomely wallet-friendly - wedges cynthia vincent designed for target a while back. of course they sold out immediately, making them a total score for anyone lucky enough to get their hands on a pair. i was not a part of that elite crowd, which is rather unfortunate because there have been at least a handful of times when i thought about how perfect my outfit would be if only i had those freaking shoes.
so of course i bookmarked the page immediately upon seeing these steve madden wedges.
sizes are very limited which means they have probably been out for a while, so i'm thinking i'll have to do some serious research and quick purchasing - stat. and at almost the same price point as the target lovelies, i'm guessing they won't be around for much longer.
cute cute cuteness.
i just can't get enough of summer fashion!

Sunday Night Confessional

god, i'm such a loser.
i did pretty much nothing this weekend.
i'm committed to getting back into the workout routine.
i'm hoping that the facts that it's bathing suit season and my yoga buddy liz is back in town will keep me accountable.
i want to be a kardashian.
i do. i love them.
i want to go on a shop-pin' spree-ah.
so many things on the wishlist.

Catch the FEVER

blackhawk fever!

chicago was in full support of the hawks yesterday & a reported 2 million people came out to watch the parade. pretty much all of edelman took a field-trip downstairs around 11am to see the trolleys of fans, budweiser clydesdales, double decker busses filled with players and their families, and of course, the stanley cup.
