dry spell.

Well, friends... it's been a while, huh?  I/We clearly have been slacking on this whole blogging thing lately.  I wish I could say it's because I won the lottery or some dreamboat of a wealthy man whisked me away on a trip around the world.  (I would totally go, if you know anyone...) 

I recently battled mono and kicked its ass, after it kicked mine for a couple of weeks.  I couldn't move/eat/sleep/brush my teeth/shower for days.  I was gross... So gross.  I don't know how I contracted that stupid illness.  I haven't known anyone with mono since I was in college.  I thought I had mono for six years, until I was finally diagnosed with narcolepsy instead.  It's not fun but at least I now have an excuse to get out of that Warrior Dash I signed up for months ago.  My spleen is definitely fine by now, but why wouldn't I utilize that excuse for as long as possible?  (Speaking of- Does anyone want to buy my Dash spot?  I can't climb walls and I will gag if I crawl through mud & it accidentally gets in my mouth.) 

As all of our loyal followers may have noticed, it's been over a month since I've blogged.  Surprisingly enough, I HAVE actually done some fun/neat things during that time.  I'll split the excitement into several posts but here are some updates for you stalkers. 

I wore this outfit two days in a row because I liked it so much.  I'm clean.

Maddie is a hair goddess.  I also rocked this hairstyle for two days- I purposely avoided sleep so I wouldn't mess it up.  Worth it. 

I mean, who doesn't take outfit pictures in the bar bathroom?  (favorite.dress.ever.)

My oldest & greatest friend, Shauna, recently graduated with a degree in Education.  I admire those who teach & I truly don't know if I'd have the patience to do so.  I'm so proud of and happy for Shauna.  She had a little graduation party last weekend.  It was so great to celebrate & catch up + see other old friends. 

Let's not talk about that part in my bangs. 

I am not good with hot-glue.  

Thoreau.

I cleaned this baby and added a basket & bell.  What a beaut!  Now, if I could only learn to fix it correctly.  The brakes could use some love from a professional. 

Kelly is really into rollerblading for some reason, like it's 1997 or something.  My ankles refuse to work with rollerblades, so falling is inevitable & I look like an absolute d-bag.  Now that my bike is fixed, we can blade/bike together without risking a painful fall on my ass! (Unless I wreck my bike... Maybe I should stick to walking...)

They are spicing these up along the interstate by adding some more beautiful banners- designed by local artists.  I love.

 I have to be up in (less than) five hours, yet I'm wide awake.  I guess that's what I get for succumbing to my narcolepsy and allowing a one-hour turned four-hour afternoon nap.  Oops?
