I attended my second barre class, and I feel like the hellaciousness was reduced significantly from last week. Then again, the instructor had stated that last week was nearly impossible for even her and that maaaaybe modifications would be made so no one would die of over-exertion. True story. This was not easy but it was easier than last week. I was at least cognizant enough to notice this time that the room was full of mirrors so I could see how absolutely freaking ridiculous I looked. When things got tough, I started laughing hysterically. I don’t know if it

My Week
My week has been mostly low-key, with unpacking my bags after returning from Eastern Washington. Does anyone want to explain to me how to not overpack? Because I reign queen supreme of stuffing any suitcase full to the brim. LIES. It was low-key until I made the mistake of joining a barre class. We went to McMenanimins on Friday and found a hidden speakeasy bar. It’s teeny tiny but still awesome that we discovered a secret. Plus, I was still traumatized from Barre class and decided a vodka tonic was the only thing that could make me feel better. We also went
I Joined a Barre Class
My life has had a revolution. I joined a Barre class. Like I’m doing something healthy on purpose. I’m pretty sure aliens have hijacked my body and are now submitting me to torturous experiments just for funsies. Either that or my cousin successfully conned me into an exercise class for the second time. She has mind powers. She must be an alien. “It’s totally easy! Like sneaky easy! You’ll think you can totally do everything but when you leave you can tell your muscles are sore!” Pardon my French, but that $hit was in no way shape or form “Easy”. It was an hour long
Five Favorite Things – July 2019
It seems ALL my favorites this month involve beating the sun and surviving traveling! Totally apropos for my lifestyle in the month of July! The Sunhat – I’ve already waxed poetic about this straw hat but I truly do love it! It’s fashionable and helped keep my face and scalp from getting scorched by the sun. Bonus points for all the compliments I got while wearing it! This old H&M bucket bag – I dug this out of the bowels of my closet and its been the perfect little bag to lug around lakes and beaches. Plus, I love the design on
Bad Blogging and Vacation Recovery
I’m so tired. Why is it that sometimes you need a vacation after a vacation? I should hashtag this as #FirstWorldProblems. However, I am going to be an exceptionally bad blogger today because my energy just isn’t as focused as it should be. I had to ransack the cabin we were staying in to look for my Beats headphones only to find them already packed and tucked inside my backpack. I mean just look at that last sentence. Rambling much, Kristen? Clearly I’ve been a complete mess since six o clock in the morning. So I’m going to show several
Coming Back…
I’ve been sleeping with spiders and showering with spiders and eating food while spiders watched me from their webs but it’s been worth it. I only ever feel relaxed after a week like this away from the everyday lifestyle that I tend to live. I’m on my way back today from the realm of no internet. I look forward to catching up on comments and all the other blog posts I’ve missed!
On My Playlist: “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” by Elton John
I know what you’re thinking. I’m listening to “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” by Elton John instead of the original Beatles version. Say what?! It’s difficult to pull off a beloved song and do it well. Especially when it’s a Beatles song. But HELLO! Elton John can do anything because he’s a genius. Plus, he makes the song magical for me. It loses the debate of whether its inspiration came from a son’s drawing or an LSD trip. It just is what it is — bursting with color and a universe that can only be translated into song. The
Please Hold Caller
I will be making a trip to Eastern Washington, to a remote area where an internet connection is unlikely. Please forgive me for neglecting any comments. Sometimes though, it does a body good to both unwind and unplug. In the meantime, some posts will go up because I did sorta kinda plan my absence. Enjoy the sun and for those on the east coast and midwest, please stay cool. That heat wave looks vicious.
