five silly things.

1.) i love this. i just love it! this picture is a more than a picture, it is a whole feeling and mindset. carefree. cute. dainty sandwiches. summertime. best friends. potato salad. i wish it wasn't 108* out everyday and i could go on a cute picnic in a cute summer dress without having some serious sweat issues.

2.) the batchelorette.

im so embarassed to say this, but dude, im kinda into this silly show. okay, not kinda. im really into this show! haha, its not my fault, mind you! angela, kayci, and i just happened to accidently watch the season premire one summer night, and ever since then, we've been hooked on this un-natural, un-realistic, guilty pleasure. its so great--you get to snoop on a date, and then hear commentary from both sides! its like, the ultimate in human-observing!

seriously.

don't judge.

(the batchelorette, ashley, on a date with ames, the guy i was rooting for!)

(...im rolling my eyes at myself, haha)

3.) this is what summer is to me:

(an ice-cold can of crush and candy's cooking)

(hanging out on the porch cause the electricity went out!)

(sunday afternoon swim)

(picking out the best watermelon of course)

4.) this is my new car. i have sold rhonda my ole trusty honda and moved on the this beautiful 2007 equinox. isn't she beautiful!? im trying not to be prideful in my car, but its so hard because i am now driving my dream car!! honestly. i love the way i feel when im driving her. i love the way i feel when i see her waiting for me out in the parking lot after a long night at work. she makes me feel like a 23-yr-old college-graduate-with-a-steady-job kate. she makes me want to do other grown up things. like move out of my parent's basement....haha.

5.) i just bought this book off of half.com for $3.43, and its supposed to ship in 3-5 days. i love and hate waiting for things in the mail. anyways, im not sure what this book will be like, but it sounded interesting and a good, fun read. im trying to get back into reading these days, because my dang "lemone and burke's medical-surgical nursing" book ruined me for a while. hah.

okay, goodnight for now.
