friday thoughts

four day weeks are my favorite.

this weekend i’m headed to party arty at the nelson atkins. excited for the art, the drinks, and an excuse to wear fake eyelashes.

if you know me at all, you know that i come from a family of avid coffee drinkers. lately though, i’ve been craving tea instead of coffee in the mornings. i’m freaked out by this a little, but i welcome the change. it’s hard to become over caffeinated with tea, so my body is loving me for it. this has been my go-to this week.

last weekend was a devastating one for me. i haven’t shared until now because 1) i didn’t want to seem dramatic 2) i was still a little sad 3) i didn’t want it to seem like i was blaming anyone. the hard-drive that all of my europe pictures were saved on after i switched computers + cameras was wiped by accident by a family member. i do still have about 30 images from my semester abroad and i know that i will always have the memories, but the sentiment attached to those images was greater than i imagined. i’ve come to terms with it and now more than ever am motivated to make another trip across the pond very soon.

to twist the knife a little further, this movie that i’d ordered pre-wipe arrived in the mailbox. it was cute. a little cheesy, but cute.

i also discovered and fell head over heels for this blog a few days ago with breathtaking images of europe.

recently i’ve been (not-so-seriously) thinking about what life might be like if one day i decided to go freelance. i’ve always found a great amount of knowledge as well as a healthy dose of reality both here and here.

if you have made it to the end of this one, you’re a real gem. wishing you a happy weekend!
