Lazy, Crazy, Hazy Days of Summer

Lots of Love

Summer has been wonda-full. At first things were kind of hectic because I was running around town trying to see all of the people/places/things I missed while I was out of the country. THEN things got even more hectic when I started looking for jobs. I am still looking for jobs, but my sense of urgency is gone now that I have realized that it might be better to slow down and wait for better opportunities to present themselves.

I have spent the past few days really enjoying the absolute freedom I have. My cousin Bailey came over and hung out with me for a while. Goodness, that girl is awesome. We talked all day, watched movies, read books, watched the entire season of Keeping Up With the Kardashians (haha), and had delicious culinary adventures. The other night we went to Trader Joes and armed ourselves with some ingredients to make a pizza. Here are our results:







Hungry yet? Finished product:







Soooo... on the list for my Day Zero Project, goal #063 says "Spend the day with a child". Let me make this clear: Bailey is NOT a child. She is a beautiful, intelligent, and talented young lady. The thing is, when I originally created this list two years ago, she was a child. And, to be honest, I created this goal with her in mind. I have always enjoyed spending time with her and I made a promise to myself that I would never allow myself to become too busy to hang out with one of my favorite people.

Therefore, I hereby declare that goal #063 be changed to say "Spend the day with my cousin Bailey". 
Bay, if you're out there reading this, I love you and can't wait to spend many more days hanging out with you!!!

In other news, I chopped off my hair, accomplishing goal #080. Get a short haircut.




I love it.
