Going to a cabin in the wilderness this weekend

These two will be there, along with some other old highschool/juniorhigh/elementary/preschool friends.

I can't even wait. With these kids, it's always a good time.
That's just how lifelong friendships are.

Kitty has a plastic allergy

But that does not stop her from gnawing not-prettily on my colorful, plastic bangles:

Went for a run after work with Kristin today

The first time in a long time. Tested out my sweet new orthotics. And, it was a lot less pretty than the aftermath of this run, which is surprising, since I don't think I've actually RAN since that run. Usually it's a lot uglier getting back into things.

Today, in Not Very Pretty music

Michael (pictured above, right, not Not Pretty me) over at thepassingstatic shares this pretty song about being Not Pretty.

At work yesterday

Kristin was telling me of her excellent plan to make a vegan cake shaped like a slab of steak for her recently-turned-vegan twin sister. This conversation sparked me to remember the hamburger cake we made for my dad's birthday one year. As well as the Not Very Pretty picture featuring it:

Gonna see some art on the walls this evening

Much like this evening, I will have a little bit of art on the walls myself. Come join me!

Not Very Pretty weekend wrap-up

As mentioned, Young William is in town for a bit, and I visited him this weekend. Much time was spent laughing, eating, and hyphy dancing in the car. As usual, the visit had to end with The Father lining us up for a photo shoot. And, also as usual, my brother and I put every effort into the performance:

Hanging out with Williammmmmmm.
He did a shimmy dance last night.
Can't even handle.

This was right before he left for bootcamp which means it was a little more than a year ago

Since I can't go home until tomorrow SATURDAY (I keep forgetting that tonight is Thursday goddammit!), I will instead post unflattering pictures here, at will (haha pun totally intended).

I am telling a funny story

I swear

Just keep this photograph in mind next time you are talking to me on the phone

[ps hey Devora this is one of the first times we ever hung out do you remember??]
