Have you guys all seen the movie Mean Girls? You know when Regina George is being a real wench to her friend Gretchen (who is trying to turn the word "fetch" into a cool word)?
She says to Gretchen:
"STOP trying to make "fetch" happen. It's not going to happen"
I feel like that is what Mother Nature is trying to tell Wisconsin about summer, that it's just not going to happen...and Wisconsin only semi-listens. 5 days of 50 degrees and rain....followed by 1 day of 74 and sunny. ::repeat::
Hope you're following me here. Either way, this weekend kicked butt, and we had not one but TWO days where it didn't rain most of the time. I even got to wear short sleeves one day. Amazing.
Here's what's been up lately:
1. It was finally nice enough to wear this soft, amazing GAP tee:
2. Saturday we had a full day/night with our friends that was Mexican themed. Only Mexican beer, pop, food. It was awesome. Especially because Jarritos are pretty to look at:
3. I stole this picture from Dani- but she captured the best shot of our watermelon basil margaritas.Yum.
4. Naturally I had to make guacamole. I mean, come on. It was DELICIOUS. You may just see a recipe for it on the blog soon :)
5. I had to take this cheesy picture to prove there were blue skies. And because I painted my nails and didn't pick off the polish for like a solid 8 hours (new record).
6. In other news, I bought some awesome colorful paper straws from an Etsy shop a bit back and they arrived this weekend. SUPER cheap, and so cheery! If you're looking for fun straws or washi tape for a party- I highly recommend the shop Loollipop (no, not a typo). She was super accomodating when I bought these straws and some other goodies. Yes, I compulsively put them in rainbow order...
7. Sunday Michael and I headed downtown to fish with our friend Ben. It was STUNNING on lake Mendota. I even stole Michael's iPhone for a few panoramas!

Love the summer post! Looks like you had fabulous weather. I think MN has really ticked off mother nature. I spent the weekend at my cabin and on Saturday it was 42 degrees and drizzling. Boo to that. Although it was great weather for a Bloody Mary Bar Crawl at some of the small town bars ;) Cheers to summer coming sometime... Maybe by August?
ReplyDeleteLOVE that shirt!! so pretty!!
