{ banana peel }

I just realized where the huge bruise on my leg came from...

On Sunday, they provided lunch for us after sacrament...

so I'm standing there, talking my life away as usual, trying to eat my salad

and all of a sudden I feel this massive force come towards me from behind

salad goes everywhere...I laugh...and brush it off gracefully...

( luckily I held my own and remained standing )

 I then tried to piece together what in the world just happened

it goes something like this: 

guy is walking, guy slips on banana peel, guy runs into me

guy gets embarrassed and runs away. 

whoever you are mister banana peel slipper, 

it's okay...it provided great afternoon entertainment

and my bruise will go away...soon hopefully!

{ subway surfing }

I was never much of a surfer...even back in my hawaii days...

I always called myself a paddler...I'd go out with everyone and just sit
on my board, letting everyone else take the waves. I'm obsessed with surfing

but I'm much happier watching from my board or even better, on the beach

with my camera in hand, snapping away. In NYC though, I call myself a surfer...

a subway surfer that is. You have to when the trains get packed. It's either surf it

or get close and personal with a random stranger and in this case, I'd much rather surf.

Here's Mr. Robinson showing us how it's done...not bad for his first time.

{ the mormon bachelorette }

single life can be fun...really fun.

but it can also be frustrating...really frustrating.

there are a ton of great guys out there

but sometimes the duds tend to get in the way

so two of my loveliest friends decided to

put a little twist on dating life

being single is a reality after all so why not

take a cue from reality, well tv reality

and make something happen...

{ love me }

sometimes all you need is a little

LOVE

as pablo picasso once said:

love is the greatest refreshment in life

I would agree.

{ serious in september }

if I were a newspaper my headline this month would read

june, july & august have been filled with nothing but 

sunshine & friends & road trips & jet planes

& dinners & late nights & bikes & weddings

& goodbyes & hellos & all kinds of other wonderful things

but it's time to get serious...at least a bit serious.

I have a race to train for and ideas in my head 

and it's time to slow things down a bit

and stop talking and start doing

so as the days get shorter and things slow down a bit around here

I'll be getting serious in september and I'm excited about it.
