how to not update a blog: a field guide.

hello dear readers! let me begin by telling you how incredibly sorry i am for neglecting this blog for FOUR entire days. it's unforgivable. fortunately, neglecting said blog has prompted my own super special field guide: how to not update a blog {in five easy steps.} allow the procrastination to begin!
     a wise woman once said that having a blog is like having a child. 
a needy, helpless, attention seeking child that must look unique, clean, and pretty. it should be fun to interact with. you just want your little blog to be the best that it can be. (blogging is basically like being a tiger mom.)
     but sometimes, you need a break from your dependent; you get tired of answering their every beck and call. that is when you consult the revered field guide and take a much deserved mini vacation. 
     (note: i do NOT condone these actions for real, life parents with real, life children. you are raising a HUMAN BEING for pete's sake. procrastination is, like, the ultimate taboo!! unless you want them majoring in leisure studies at arizona state university.)

STEP ONE

procure lots of friends. 

{classic kerry}

STEP TWO 

make sure those friends can cook.

for example, this weekend i learned that 

kerry makes a kick-ass puttanesca.

...but we ate her equally delicious dessert first. 

STEP THREE 

watch movies. 

lots and lots of movies. 

(make sure said friends provide witty commentary...

because you might be watching this)

but hopefully you also got to see this:

STEP FOUR

busy yourself with medicinal activities 

for example, biopsies or blood work 

{for real fun, do both on the same day. 

needles are too much fun, y'all.}

{didn't faint this time... accomplishment.}

STEP FIVE

get really into knitting.

adopt the mantra "knitters aren't quitters." 

because you are going to make a full fledged wool scarf

even if it kills you, dang it. 

most importantly, forget to feed yourself because

YOU ARE A KNITTING MACHINE. 

{in which case, step two should greatly benefit you. 

especially if you ate exactly-but-maybe-kinda-more-than half 

of a chocolate chip cookie dough brownie pan.}

no regrets.

rainy day living

some pictures from today:

nothing terribly new or exciting to report.

just a lot of rain.

i had my job interview today, 

so cross your fingers because i would 

reeeeeeally like to have some kind of income

to fund my obnoxious shoe habit. 

speaking of, i have the waking reflexes of a ninety two year old

grandma today & have been dozing off literally every half hour. 

so no outfit post to-day.

but maybe

{if there's nothing good to fall asleep to on tv}

i will draw my outfit. 

because it was kinda cute. 

anyway.

i'll leave you with this:

slambert

free slurpee day

it was practically the greatest holiday of the year today,

{second only to fourth of july}

free slurpee day. 

sam & i visited a record four 7 elevens...

just to get our money's worth.

{gotta love capitalism!}

he drank a whooping seven; 

i drank a respectable three. 

{slurpee number one}

{slurpee number two}

{slurpees three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine and ten}

xx

slambert,

slurpee drinking extraordinaire

macaroon mania

today 

i ate the most delicious thing ever.

it was a macaroon.

and it was so pretty

and so chocolatey 

and it made me feel tres parisian. 

which is a feeling that i love. 

so i highly recommend that all of you lovely readers

 go out and procure a macaroon

on the double.

you will really, really not regret it.

god bless wp and its three {three!}

wonderful macaroon vendors. 

filling in the blanks

as per my pledge to post more, 

here are some exciting things that have been happening 

around these parts:

{the university opened a new hot dog stand 

right outside of the library... just in time for spring!}

{a swan poised to attack shelby & me on our walk around the lake}

{my free moments--there are very few--have been dedicated 

exclusively to the draw something app}

{browsing new & used vinyl at horizon after a yummy dinner 

at the bohemian last weekend}

{i finally got around to developing my spring 

break pictures...uploads to come!}

{chrissy's spectacular arm party} 

{oranges are my new favorite side dish in the dining hall}

{cara sweetly made me caramel brownies at the 

pinnacle of my stressful weekend...

bevin & i proceeded to double-fist them at 12 o'clock at night}

{at last--strawberry season! i've been picking up these babies by the bucketload}

{the back of my formal dress... i have loads of pictures from formal too!}

{and of course, there's been way too much of this}

xx,

sarah
