To the Capitol… of the good old U.S. of A.

May 20, 2010

Toodeloo, Readers!!!

I’m off to Washington, DC for the weekend! Zan’s sister is graduating from Georgetown and I wouldn’t miss it! DC is one of my favorite cities hands down, I feel semi-familiar with it since my best friends’ from home went to GW University and I visited a few times throughout the years. My strongest memories are of Chipotle and some sweaty bar in Foggy Bottom? The name escapes me. Good times. Last year Zan and I took a 10 day trip to visit Nell and were total tourists. I made a regimented to do list– we were very serious. I’m super excited to go back… so much to see and do and so much is free!

Back to blogging when I return! Have a great weekend!

xoxo,

Serenity

How fabulously cozy is this little bungalow?

I’m in love with everything about this porch. The colors are so inviting and I just love the wooden side shingles, it gives it a bit of a rustic feel without being too “rustic”. The couch and arm chair are perfectly vintage and the two round tables are a unique touch. My favorite part to this room are the lamps (with their robin’s egg blue stems) and the curtains in my current favorite color: peachy salmon pink. I can just picture reading the latest bestseller snuggled up under a blanket listening to a little Mozart for Your Mind.

Pure serenity. *sigh*.

Flashback: The Wig.

May 20, 2010

I am literally crying right now I am laughing so hard. I just happened to be browsing PW’s “happiness” photos for her recent photography contest and this photo was at the very top of the list. Besides this picture being hilariously funny on its own it reminded me of a night back in college when my friend Tracy found an old wig of her mothers and brought it to the Brickhouse for us ladies to play with. The memory made me giggle into hysterics and then I remembered that I still have the pictures! Thanks to Snapfish, the best of times have been preserved and are just waiting for moments like these to resurface.

And so, as I do realize you may have “had to have been there”, I’m posting these because they’re just too funny not to. I just can’t help myself. I’m hoping these photos will bring giggles to you as well. Because who doesn’t like to giggle like a little kid every once and a while? That’s what I’m doing right now that’s for sure.
