my colors are blush and bashful

okay i don't have colors, but i am going to a wedding and the shoes i bought for the ceremony are uncomfortable but tastefully called "blush" which i love. basically they are the same color as my skin, but i love them. this is they:

don't be scared, i know it sort of looks like i busted my ankle. i didn't. just doing my thing., i think i might need to go to the beach this weekend and get a little color, which might mean not using spf 45 as generously as i am apt to do. just this once.

tastes like chicken

saturday night, i'm not sure what happened exactly.... i was going to go out, but then all the sudden the whole day had vanished. eh, well whattcha gonna do? i was really craving this place in salt lake, a greek place and lamenting over it so i decided to go zankou's. it's good. but i was disturbed by something.....

do you see that there is a whole tomato in my container o'food? yeah. i don't like. i mean i like tomatoes, but this takes it to a whole other level, that quite frankly i am uncomfortable with.

i am lance armstrong

i had this weird week last week where i was running around like a crazy person trying to come to terms with my life possibly continuing here in california (that is yet to be determined) and i guess i was feeling a little out of control cause on friday i went and spent all this money that i clearly don't have. (woa! sorry about that run-on sentence). i tried to go see the joan river's movie on friday night, but it was basically sold out, so i went to nordstrom's instead and bought a pair of shoes. mostly cause i don't need another pair of shoes. and they're workout shoes. but they are really cute and comfy. i immediately had buyer's remorse, but of course i didn't take them back. oh no! i forced myself to put them on when i got home and went for a long walk. this is what they look like two days later and two good walks on them:

the walks helped me regroup and i'm feeling a little better. but we'll see what the future has in store for me- maybe sandals! jokes.

throwing myself over the walls

somedays you are at home in your apartment in l.a. and your friend calls and says, get your ass to salt lake. and you say to friend, yeah. yeah, okay. i'm gonna come over. so you get your credit card out of your wallet and fly away for a day. some jetsetters may not have slc on their itinerary, but this one does. primary purpose for trip: brandi carlile concert, which will be depicted in a photo montage below, but it was also great to see friends and eat at red iguana, which i miss so much it hurts.

in the throes of concert good times.

such a great spontaneous trip, miss my good friends, miss the mountains, miss the cheap real estate, miss my cousin and my dearhearts that i didn't get to see (allison and sister packham) but i'll be back in a month.

summer days

i literally did nothing this weekend. i barely even left the house, well john's house as i was dog sitting. mimi and i could be found in the following position for nearly 3 glorious days. it was awesome.

some babies

oh hi!

this was aidan, he didn't have a nap.

oh and this is aidan less then 2 seconds later. not having a nap is confusing.

lulu, my very serious cousin baby. this was her most of the night. i love her.

shout out to katie and ben for making a great dinner. i wanted to eat all of that amazing soy sauce chicken with mango sticky rice. good times cousin connection!

getting down in hollywood

on wednesday brother and i went to a concert. cause that's how i roll. don't care that it's a school night. saw josh ritter, who seriously is the most precious performer i have ever seen. and i mean that. he was so sweet and smiley. absolutely infectious with his smile. he's from moscow, idaho and to be honest i don't think i've ever met an idaho boy that i didn't like. he sings one of my all time favorite songs ever written, i cannot resist putting it on nearly every playlist i make, girl in the war. sooo good. but i've included another fave, good man. something that is not heralded nearly enough, good guys. so here you go.

look how cute he is in the blueish light

and then here in regular light

oh what's this? cute brother scott out front of the music box.
