dancing totally runs in the family.

The Whitest Guys Dancing from Mike Ekey on Vimeo.

the video above is one of my very favorites.  it's my cousins jon & geoff dancing at my brother's wedding this past summer.  legit, i know. 

i am so happy i live in the times of video sharing, digital pictures, video chat & all that goodness. 

you see, most of my friends & family live in different cities.  it totally bums me out.  but then i get hilarious messages & photos & phone calls from them- & then i am happy. 

plus, the holidays are right around the corner.
i.can.not.wait.to.see.them.

it's been far, far too long since i've seen my best friends since birth.

two poodles & an iphone.

a week ago my mom proudly presented me her new iphone.  it is awesome.  i snapped the photos above of my two poodles: left: lucy & right: patrick.  (and yes, that on the right is, indeed, a poodle. though she looks much more like a hamster in a bandanna.) 

my mom has yet to learn how to change the volume of the ringtone or even log contacts, but don't worry world, she has already programed solitaire and bejeweled into it.  1zillion apps & she sticks to two games. 

oh, mom- she's a silly one. but oh, how i love her.

my apologies & picnics galore.

i have been a really really terrible blogger lately.  ever since my ridiculously wonderful birthday, i have been bombarded with exciting summer adventures & many-a-wedding celebrations.  You see, in the past month i have attended 3 bridal showers. all were quite fun, but they have certainly kept me busy, busy.  Tonight i have a bachelorette party to attend that is going to be just as fun, but it will probably knock me on my lazy bum for the rest of the weekend... 

but i promise to get back on track with my regularly scheduled blogging starting NOW!

...

so, for my birthday i received this picnic basket from my sweet parents. 

it is super rad & i am in love with it! 

well, then my awesome friend Liz gifted me this awesome cookbook: 

it is perfect!!

to top it all off Liz also gave me some little plastic bottles of wine (it was my twenty-first after all) to bring along on my picnicking adventures! 

eeps! i can't wait!!

happy friday! 

here's to a splendid weekend 

& lots of picnics this summer! ; )

xoxo my loves.
