Three little (but exciting) words

Gap Brand Enthusiast, baby!!!!

(okay I lied, that was four)

I’ll post more details soon but I’m so excited! I could seriously kiss Justine if I saw her right now.

I came home to a box of goodies, and my cat eyeing it greedily. I was practically squealing with delight as I opened it. Being the dork that I am, I took pictures of the big unveiling. I won’t ruin the surprise for the other gap brand enthusiasts if they haven’t received their packages yet.

Well..except for one..I’m too excited to keep it a secret:

born to blog

Um yes, I CANNOT wait to wear it!!! Thanks again to Brand About Town for choosing me!

4th of July and a look back

This has got to be the most uneventful Fourth of July weekend I’ve ever had. I skipped the fireworks yesterday. No BBQ plans today or tomorrow. Sadness.

Probably the best Fourth of July for me was in 2005. A whole group of friends and I walked all over downtown Pittsburgh, from the Southside all the way across the 10th street bridge to Point State Park. We ended getting prime spots for firework viewing right on the Fort Pitt Bridge.

4th of July 05 me and boo

While watching the fireworks with my friends, I remember thinking to myself “life will never get better than it is now.” When my friends reminisce about the past, we all can agree Summer ’05 was the best summer ever. A lot of us are still trying to get back there, although we all know we can’t. Things change and people change.

Cory & I

At least we all have those memories to look back on. Summer ’05 will always live on.





Me in a nutshell



I'm just a 20-something girl who can't decide where I want to live. I moved from Pittsburgh to Chicago and back in a 2 year span. I'm a fianceé, a lover of celebrity gossip, a wannabe baking diva, a kitty mama, a VW driver, and a die hard Penguins fan.
