all over my rainbow

sometimes i feel frustrated because i find songs that...kind of move me. is that lame? that sounded really lame. anyway...i don't feel frustrated because of their effect on me; i feel frustrated because i don't know what to do with it. confused? me too.

i just wish i had a big empty room where i could be all by my lonesome, turn the music up way too loud, and...see what happens.

"search and destroy" by sanders bohlke {a few posts back} is one such song. here is another for you...

dj put that record on

okay so let's just talk about something for a minute.

i've developed a bit of a girl crush.

this isn't the same thing i feel for adele, ingrid, or ke$ha.

those are the girls i want to be SLASH (bc that isn't an option)
be best friends with (bc that totally is).

nope. this is different.

i'm like mesmerized by dev.

i think that if i met her, i might feel butterflies or something.

anyway, the point is i obsess over this girl.

and her music.

if you've learned anything about me in our time together,

it should be that i love a good beat.

i love music that i can bump (WAY too loud) while i drive.

and her work is the perfect fix for a junkie like myself.

hope you enjoy. i will be rocking out to it for at least another 9 days, no doubt.

if you're a criminal, kill it on the floor

this weekend was just what i needed!

rolling in the deep

such a fun weekend of baseball, friends, dancing, and dressing up.

and this afternoon is the perfect follow-up.

rainy weather has the potential to make me emotional, but when paired with a little coffee and this...

...it's a guaranteed success.

baby, you're amazing

weekend update with jordache:

the birthday was lovely. highlights...

fun phone convos with mi familia

even though they didn't let us keep our 3D glasses, we had a pretty fab time

fun new sparkly dress

{which did, in fact, inevitably get pesto on it, but whatevs}

disclaimer: this photo wasn't actually taken on my bday, but i'm kind of a lame-o and neglect the camera when i should be taking pictures

and the rest of the weekend was just as delicious...

fun, summerish party- swimming, bbq, and new friends

and the weekend concluded with a fun adventure yesterday...

...i don't actually remember where we were at this point

yummy clam chowder

haha sleepy boy in the back

our cute driver :)

ugh...i love life.

keep on rolling the track

i love the feeling you get when you're doing something you love.

i will catch his warm stare, on our island in the blue bay

so...the last two tuesdays have given me a little bit of inspiration.

i'm thinking about what i want to do with my summer. i'm already loving my time off- way too much, in fact. i can already tell that august really is going to be a wicked month for me, as i will be forced to return to school. wait! wait! wait! i'm getting ahead of myself... the theme of this post is

summer.

via heart like twigs

and today i'm setting some summer goals. here we go:

1.

first and foremost.

attend as many dance classes as possible

{tuesday hip hop in the city- favorite, zumba, more hip hop, and i'd be lying if i said that the tease class didn't peak my interest...just saying.}

2.

beach it up

{stinson, dillon, bolinas, and perhaps some new discoveries?}

3.

kayak

{one of those things boy and i talk about doing, but have yet to actually pursue}

4.

read

{edna o'brien has really got my attention right now, it might be fun to have a themed summer featuring one author, yes? although i really do want to read eat pray love. i bought it like 3 years ago, and never got around to it, but after seeing the movie preview, i really feel compelled to read it. something that i find totally lame by the way. i wish i would've read it 3 years ago instead of now, when every twenty-something female in the country will be reading it. is it stupid for me to feel that way?}

5.

immerse myself in major league baseball

{you knew it was coming. i'm sorry, i just love it so much. i really need to call the cable company so that i don't have to go to a brewery or at&t park every time i want to watch a game}

6.

get my apartment in order

{not just livable. not just clean. home.}

7.

get a pedicure

8.

eat/drink my mila

{whole raw food, sooo good for me. just do it, jordan.}

9.

get some girl friends

10.

and this is a biggy,

forward my time, energy, thoughts, and heart into my life.

{be fully invested in all that i have going on. in marin. in my apartment. at my job. when i work out. when i adventure. not just floating through life, but passionately enjoying all that i get to do.}

so that's the plan. and i have just one thing to say to myself in this pursuit: get it.


{ps.}
umm...hello? where is my head? as i was reading through my friends comments, i realized that i forgot to ask what YOUR summer goals/plans are??? please share!

the damage is done, so i guess i be leaving

via mary ruffle

i went to a hip hop class in the city on tuesday night.

it kind of rocked my world.

there are so many things that i feel passionate about in life...

but this is different.

this one class gave me such a rush, i could hardly handle it.

it was the whole thing- driving into the city. walking around a bit before class. going into this huge room and knowing no one. then learning a routine {to mr. timberlake...yesss.} and performing it. i honestly didn't know if i could do it- it has been entirely  t o o  l o n g  since i've done this sort of thing. but you know what? i think i was kind of good. i mean, i didn't just keep up, but i even threw in some sass. anyway, it felt good.

so looking forward to the next class.

"you told me you loved me, why did you leave me all alone? now tell me you need me when you call me on the phone. girl, i refuse. you must have me confused with some other guy. your bridges were burned, and now it's your turn to cry. cry me a river."
