Is anyone else still working on recovering from having an extra day off of work? Monday was uber busy. Tuesday was a whirlwind. What happened to my day?? It was filled with work, hanging with my mother, running errands, taking a (extremely long) nap, and meeting up with some of my friends from back home. Sounds awesome, right? Right.Wanna know what else is awesome? Fireworks! I love watching a good firework show. I think I actually watched about 4 different shows in less than 1 week. Our town has so many places that put on their own show and light...

This weekend's pictures via Instagram. Goodness, I do love that feature. I recommend it to iPhone-users all the time. Here are a few of my favorites from the past few days!(A nice dinner date to the most authentic Mexican restaurant in town.)(My garden has so many blooms like this Climatus vine.)(Visited some friends in town from Massachusetts and hung out at the pool.)How was you weekend? I packed so much excitement into one single weekend that I'm exhausted. Aren't weekends supposed to be for relaxing? Maybe one day I'll reach that stage!

Just wanted to wish everyone a grand Fourth of July! Hopefully you're wearing your best red, white & blue outfit, spinning some sparklers, with your family, and enjoying a spectacular firework show! Happy Independence Day!

Eek! I feel like I'm way behind with my blogging as of lately. Things are a bit hectic at the moment. Did I mention that I'm currently working 3 different jobs (meaning 72+ hour work weeks)? 4th of July weekend in a coastal town is like being in the circus. For real. I keep reminding myself that the busy summer season is all downhill after July 4th. That's when things get back to normal. Anyone else extremely busy paying bills, saving moolah, and working their tail feathers off this week?Even with a crazy schedule, I try to pencil in some...

A few photos that demonstrate how beautiful living on the coast can be...Hope you're having a great day! I'm headed in to work for the grave-yard shift. Hopefully I can come home early to a nice, cozy bed and sleep soundly in the air conditioning for a few hours before doing it all over again tomorrow.
